Vedsten: Hehe It does looks a bit odd, I suppose... Then again, his anatomy all-around is pretty far gone, far as realism goes. I was going for more of a symbolic thing with the anatomy (that is, it's recognizable as human, but clearly is very distorted). I'm more than open to suggestions, though. How d'you reckon I go about it?

I get the distorted thing, yet i think the the ribcage/stommach area looks like..... well, a merge between a ribcage and beer/pregnant stommach. I suggest you either remove the  vertical rib shading and move the whole thing a coupple of pixels to the left (so i looks like a stommach), or move it a few pixels to the right so the ribs are situated in a believable fashion

the bending stars are  , my overall favourite part, only crit i can come up with is the stommach/ribcage of the guy- it looks very strange

ps. i was going to change the news box the other day but i was at a loss as to what should be posted in its stead...

I didn't participate YET but i suggest you link it to the fancy ISO COLLAB, it's turning out great and it would be nice to see one of them pieces finished.

btw. did anyone check out latest zelda wii video? 0_o That boss is so f. cool

great stuff !

a coupple of suggestions for the anim: The motion of the tail looks a bit too fast. The first few frames are fine, but i seems to speed up in the end. Add a few frames and slow the last part down. A bit of tail action after he finishes his punch would look cool anyway. Also, you might wanna contrast the arm/torso abit, otherwise the animation might end up a bit too cluttered.

Anyhow, great job, looking forward to the colored vers. of the anim!
