Title: [Fighting Game] Hoshizora Idle Animation V2
Post by: CyanPrime on July 05, 2016, 07:50:49 pm

Hi, I'm working on animations for a fighting game I'm making.

This is the idle animation for Hoshizora, the first character!

I'm wondering what I can do to improve the quality of the animation, and just what your thoughts on it are in general.

I'm thinking it looks a little stiff in some areas, myself.

edit:
Try 3

I would look at references from other fighting games.  Your character's pose reminds me a bit of Ryu or Ken from Street Fighter, so maybe take a look at how those characters look, animate, and how their proportions fix together.  Maybe check out the shading used, as well, because yours isn't entirely consistent.
