Weekly Challenge: Brain Bot
Top Pixel Art - January 2015 (#1)
Omg how can I ever hope to achieve this level?! ;-; Incredible.
I don't know why, but my absolute fav part of this is the water sloshing around in the brain jar.
Not seen this before, that's some super fluid animation there - amazing work. 
Thanks for the comments. It turned out more popular than I thought.
@ptoing
Yeah, something with the horizontal cylinder is of. It rotates a bit too much.
The wobble on the top of the glass should indicate the tilting of the cylinder.
@Volrak_Rutra
No 3D software involved.
@Lordofsax
ptoing pretty much explained it already. The head, main body and the legs were animated seperatly. The swinging
hoses and a few other details were added at the end.
@rrrod
probably about 8-9 hours
Damn, the animation is superb. How much time did you spend on this?
Such fluid animation and tons of details to boot, I keep finding more things I love about this every time I look at it. Great job!
That's really nice. I push and pull of the screen right rear leg is great.
The fluidity of the animation reminds of of metal slug. it's astounding, and it's obvious that you won this bish.
Lordofsax: When animating something with lots of moving parts/secondary motion you should always break things down and not try to animate everything at once. As a good example: When old Disney animators animated Pluto they would animate the tail in the very end when everything else was generally done. By doing that they assured that it reflected Pluto's motion and feelings accurately, which would be harder to do if you tried doing it at the same time as everything else.
This is so good. Have you got any advice on animating so many details while still keeping them consistent? I wish I could animate something this good.
So much detail, so fluidly animated... Now make a game where you can blast up hordes of them! <3
The smoothness... i cannot stand it! 
EDIT: the more i look at it, the more i see... the shines, the shadows... cables swinging, antenna wiggling. Beautiful!
wow, so smooth! hard to believe this is done without 3d software. it is though, right? you get my vote.
Who do you think is going to win the Brain Bot challenge?! xD
Great consistency all around. The fluidity of the brainbot animation coupled with the overall attention detail makes for a great piece and quite the original submission! The foreshortening on the legs and the cylindrical remote pack are particularly stellar.
this is amazing! i love the little details of the animation, like the liquid sloshing around, impressive that it's 12 frames! it's so fluid!
Wow, man, perfect palette and animation! Maybe you could make the 4th leg completely dark.
The smoothness of the animation is of course excellent; each leg moving with its own timing, the bobbing of the... I guess you could call it the head? The module up front with the eyeball, the liquid sloshing around in the glass.
