Hi guys,
this is my first attempt at animation, it's in the style of Hotline Miami but higher resolution. I think maybe I should lower the resolution and use fewer pixels, any suggestions what dimensions are good to start off with? I tried a humanoid walk animation in profile but decided to start with something easier. I wasn't happy with the arms but I'm not sure how to make them move realistically. Feel free to tell me how I could make it better. In particular I'd like to learn how to make clothes look more natural.
I also tried making a hopping monster from a front-on perspective, inspired by splatterhouse 2. Since I am a noob at this I would appreciate advice about how to make monsters. I know the amount of frames I'm using isn't quite right but I also am not sure how to loop an animation so it looks natural.
