Title: Mid Century Man
Post by: Mush on October 19, 2016, 11:12:12 pm

Been staring at this for too long, so I was hoping to get some outside feedback (on the animation specifically). Thanks in advance!

Head moves a bit much I think, it should rotate a slight bit on the furthest part of the turn but otherwise remain static!

Lazy edits yolo.

Messed a bit with lighting to give him a more masculine look. Made his right shoe fit his animation better and also not be massive.

No head sway (sadly swaying just two frames often looks silly, but otherwise I agree with Meat). Moved it around a bit though. Also less sway on his chest and I added his spiky shoulders.


Mostly just ideas to mess around with. Pretty cool character over all. :y:

Thank you both for your suggestions. Reduced head/torso movement, changed arm movement, added some cloth physics, and made some other adjustments.

Actually, i think the hrad forward look works to make his walk more purposeful, like he's speedwalking a bit.

I agree, I think I'm going to to stick with the forward head.
