Had a little mess around with your dood trying to breathe a little more life into your idle animation. Exaggerated his breathing and added some extra bounce to him. Take from it what you will, but either way it was really fun messing around with him. Your little guy is really cool!
I must say theres definitely improvement in Mike's run edit, the erratic flailing of the tail seems.. well.. erratic Maybe if you smoothed the motion almost to the point of your tailwag, it would make it look more fluid and would definitely mesh with the edit Mike did to the ponytail.
I feel from your new avatar and the general bad arse'ness of this little guy he could do with a more dynamic run, something less generic.
But either way he's coming along and looking great! keep it up!
Haha! that looks awesome, so smooth (kinda jealous of your smooth animation skills
). not to keen on the way his right leg moves when bending, looks kinda "dainty" but the rest is awesome
About the run animation, yeah ive been trying for days now to get it to look just right through editing and im considering just starting from scratch, have him lean into the run more, have some upper body rotation and try out creating that "pendulum effect" Mike was talking about.. any suggestions for a dynamic run? because i was just going to do a sprint.
Anywho, im still spriting, this little guy, will make another update in the top post soon.
Thanks
@Beefmo - would you mind sending the strip of frames for that animation, I have no software to load GIF's with sorry
