Post by: AlexHW on March 03, 2007, 01:13:07 am: pardon the subject title, i didn't know what to call it.
critiques are welcome, though i'm mostly interested in your opinion on the design.
I'm also thinking I may animate this:

He is leaning forward quite a bit. I'd suggest moving the legs more under his center of gravity. His near hand looks really flat, try to give it that curl/semi-fist shape that the farter one has.

Also, what are the fins on the back? Does he transfom into a plane? :)

there's some odd things happening in it which i'm aware of, mostly due to the roughness of the anim at this point.

Post by: Xion on March 03, 2007, 07:47:32 am: What is that? Flexing? Grabbing? If any of the prior then cool, but if it's an attack you might wanna add mo' oomph.
Cool, though.

I concur.

I think flexing would be like striking more of a pose. Hold the most strained position for a second and maybe make his face change to a strained expression, with like, wide eyes or maybe a roar. It also looks wierd that he's lunging forward. I'd say a more "flexy" pose would be one with a straighter back.

Post by: SolidIdea on March 04, 2007, 02:31:32 am: The animation looks like something a boxer (fighter) would do. I'd make the "hugging" movement more stiff and trembled, like the Hulk (tv) did. Showing anger and fierceness.
