Now i am started animation - begin for jump.


This is have 9 frame for animation, but in actual fact have 7 frame, last 2 frames is repeat of second and first frame (by programm). It's easily animation - it's right way? ))


For back and forward jumps maybe used this animation, just a curve of jump generated by programm

mangust - Thanks for the tips! However, what you've described is the front view. The view in this portrait is almost 3/4. But I have removed the double chin .

Funny  Maybe you not correctly understand me, I am not talk about front view )) I talk about this portrait is almost 3/4. If you paint roman woman, see on photo break of chiaroscuro denoted red line, she have this smooth line, other grey color after this line it's half-tint and not shadow. The blue line it's something closer to you line shadow, if you paint you shadow and light you must make a more broad face. And about eyes I some quick edit you sketch, because you right eyes too small, the though we have his nearer. And something about her nose (lower), mouth (less and bellow).

Anyway, please continue, it's good work and I want see nice final! 

the new version decreases visual interest and readability of color regions, foreground mixes with backgrouns and the former becomes too neutral. keep the bright blue and gold i think and forget about unity in this case.

nice work thusfar btw

Yes, you right. I am keep bright blue and fix some yellow, but the keep color characters, It's like me more less than old icteric version.

yeh i suppose it would be difficult to understand when its animated, like if your character was moving it would technically be walking at an angle. if ya get my drift. in worms they are the same angle as the background.

Yes about angle - it's obstacle. Not only animated move, also when they stand on slanting surface and aim. Maybe i am paint they at angle of 45, like at sphere character on image (it's sketch). But it demand from me - animation for eyes (if you remember worms, they move eyes when shooting) for each angle, walking, standing... Most likely not other way. If I right understand you ))

I just divert for another project. Now continue...
Fix background and recolor again. I am tired leave color of our world, because this world is alien, but funny and more colored than Worms 2. But feeling "something is not right" is not leave me... Now i think about blue gradient on surface, something must be in place of him. 


This is background

Get rid of that horrible gradient.

Perhaps, but instead of this must be something to the surface (just flat lines is no good decision), which supports the style of the characters... i think about this, thanks!
