Hi,im back after some time so heres the thing:
I'm absolutely new in terms of animation and i really need some help please.

I'm working currently on this guy, so i made some key-frames just to joint some things together but i have a lot of issues and i needed some feedback, tips or any kind of miracle possible.

My main issues here are:

- Don't know very well how to get a fluid animation
-I'm completely aware that this particular animation has 6 frames, and i'm just posting here cuz i'm kinda stuck in the process.
-Shades/Lights transitions
-Completely noob on photoshop animation.
-I'm completely aware that i need to clean my sprite (it has blank pixels and some trash here and there.)



Any kind of feedback is appreciated.

Hey Meat!

I was thinking about making another sprite completely oriented on sexual connotations, like maybe a sex slave (and suspicious bumps) i like that concept a lot, and it can be exploited at its full potential. With this dude, do you mean like straps? maybe he can wield a dildo-like weapon, so when he approaches you, you know that you are fucked.Literally haha

I'm going to put some clarifications overall my current design of every sprite that i've made, i know that will help:

There is a "machine", used on vulnerable individuals that can materialize your deepest fears,feelings and thoughts as one big entity and make it real. Using brain-scanner technology , along with a very advanced kind of ""printer""(More details in game). The purpose of this machine is to exploit certain individuals that have a great internal conflict, for example:

A raped little girl always gonna fear her rapist, so in this way, the machine can materialize the inner monster that this little girl is so afraid of, but through the eyes of a 10 years old, or so.

In this case i need to take a large concept,and start working from it, so i start with a person with no signs of being that kind of monster.Rapist tends to be regular people, normal to the eyes of everyone and i finish with a normal guy with an inocent look, but when he has the oportunity you can see the real monster that the little girl knows.That's my approach, and that's what i try to accomplish.

In this particular case,the backstory of this monster :

A guy, that is overwelmed by rage, blind by pressure, unable to control it.The machine took that powerful part of him, and turned him into this beast. So now he lurks the place punishing any kind of interruption, almost like a perfectionist that doesn't want to be bothered.A complete workaholic.Of course stealth this time doesn't work with plain sight, but with smell, and noise. The player has to dismember the beast with the environment because you can't get close to him (You know, Death and stuff.).

I'm not aiming to a hack and slash, neither a beat em up, i just want to give every boss its own world, so it is the case for my fellow amigo, that has brought me so many issues lately.

Sorry for the long writting, needed to express myself. Big hugs Taylor bro.

[Update]

I think that one of the major flaws about this sprite was the pose. It was really hard to give him a more detailed look, so i tried a new pose of him standing (Just like MrMysteryMeat said, and in a way that i can make better use of the shadows and space.



Ps: It's obviously not finished, just fixed the pose and added some shadows, just for guiding.

[Update 2]

Gave him some shading,made a lot of mistakes, but taking these spots as a reference for future tweeks.

Indeed, this needs to be animated because it's just a little piece of a project that i have.
Currently i'm seeking for inspiration and concepts that can be applied to this kind of characters, you know, monsters and stuff...

I'm really , really frustrated with this particular character, i have many ideas but none of them seems to fit for me...
Initially, this "Boss" needs to be, first of all, Blind. The strategy that you need to use with him is stealth, obviously...because if he finds you, he can just One-shot you. My first concept was Alien, after that i thought about the Lickers (Resident evil) but honestly, i just want to make something original, something different...and that's what makes me so frustrated, so i come here for help

Dude , even tho i'm trying to create monsters, that grasshopper-man creeps me out more than it should. Creepy, great idea.
