Because I had to vent to a bunch of people I don't even know. I've been going through a bunch of shit today, and I just saw those responses, and I went off.
Heh, we're here to help, and since you came here asking for help, we're trying our best to help you. If you don't want the information we're giving, then don't take it. But if we see problems, don't expect us to be like: "That's incorrect, but this is an exception."
<--I've noticed that a lot of games have walk cycles like this.
That does not at all mean that those games are correct. If the platform has 3 frame restrictions, then that's fine, and, admittedly, that's about the best you'll get with 3 frames, but one more frame would greatly increase the possible quality of this sprite.
Oh, and BTW, the hilights look much better, as well as the body movements.
Further crits: The fartherst leg doesn't move enough when compared to the closer one.
The closer foot would look better if it tilted upwards when in the forward position.
Mmm...I
think that the spikes on the guy's back would look better if they moved in coordination with the shoulders.
I don't know what's going on with your life, but I hope you can cool off and that things improve for ya.
