So just a few days ago I posted this thread in the "animation" section of this forum:
--------------------
A friend and I were recently talking about hyper light drifter and its amazing pixel art. During the conversation I said something like "I havent tried myself, but I would imagine it to be pretty difficult to make this look like actual movement". I noticed nothing is stopping me from experiencing it myself, so i opened up paint.net and made this:
The character I had in my head was a barely known character from prince of persia: fallen king.
I know you will pull your hair out from seeing this, but I personally dont know what is wrong exactly, i think the bounce is a little weird. Ignore the hair for now, i wanted to wait until i have the rest right before i touch that, the bounce probably affects hair alot. I planned on changing the color of the body later on so that there is only one base and one shadow color (but regardless of that shadows are probably not in the right places, please tell me). Also, anatomy?
--------------------
It didnt get any attention at all. I think the reason for this is, before I can think about animating, I probably have to really get the character right (or anything pixel arty at all). Thats why I posted it here now, because i think im not far enough for animation.
