Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] Need opinions on running animations
« on: August 13, 2008, 06:21:30 am »
For the life of me, I can't make a better hand.  At this point, Unless someone can come up with one that reads better, I'm willing to assume that the transitional animation showing him start running and putting the arm in front of his face illuminates the fact that indeed it is his arm.  any takers on some edits?  Here are some updates:

The only difference is the left has a different hand and the glare on the scabbard moves some (unnoticeable), and the fellow on the right goes up and down 2 pixels per step.  Which hand and which movement do you all prefer?  Still on my list to do is do some subpixel (well, to get it right) on the dude's head so it seems like its part of the image and moving and to draw the scarf/bandana.   ignore the single pixel on the left guy.  and ignore the fact that they are running at different speeds.  Can anyone see anything else that is crucial?

heyy13 is right.  Eyes were scarier and more visceral in first image.  not to say this isn't awesome.

Also, his hairline moves too much.  I'm not talking about the strand of hair but rather his whole scalp seems to bounce like 2 pixels.  And I think It looks great with no head spin.  I almost always think that looks contrived.

Ok, will work on the elbow in front of face hand!  Thanks! Also, There will be a transitional animation when he starts to run that will show him put it in front of his face.  Then it will jump to this loop and 'maybe' alternate between this and another running animation.

which hand?  his right/sword or left/blocking hand?  I meant to ask what folks think of the blocking hand?  Does it draw your eye too much?  Should I cut down on the slight rotation of it?  It doesn't seem 'quite' right to me. And if you are refferring to the sword hand then yes, I do need to play with it when I polish off the sword.  I'll try to address it, and big ups for the compliment mike!  Also, Head bob yes or no?  I'm leaning towards no

and I forgot to mention in my own list of things to do was to clean up the scarf thing.

Here's a small update:  I added some detail on the upper body.  Not ready to add the bandana or polish the sword but its coming along.  I still have to shade around the head, fill in that notch in his back, and polish the light on his shoulders but any crits?  I'm pretty happy with the way the upper body is turning out so you guys should tell me what crap it is before I get carried away.

I really like this character.  I especially like after the striking animation the detail you acheived in his open hand.  For a little sprite, this guy is pretty cool.  You may want to add some contrast so you can differentiate limbs a little better while he runs.  Keep up the good work.

2 percosets aren't going to kill you.  i've taken 3 and been fine.  Like you said all that happens is you get teh sweats and can't sleep.  You're drowsy and out of it but you can't sleep.  I don't know about the stomach pains.  That might be particular to you.  What extended and prolonged overuse will do is damage your liver.  But so will the acetominophen in tylenol as well as a few shots of gin.  You're not going to OD with this stuff with 1000 mgs unless you are an anorexic chihuahua (are you?) or someone with liver disease or allergies.
And speaking of nonsense, Alan Moore is SO against the film version of Watchmen that he has negotiated to remove his name from that POS Zack Snyders' film and have all royalties go to Dave Gibbons.  I'd like to see Frank Miller show nuts like that over one of his terrible film adaptations. 
Side note:  Wow, Zhang Yimou really put together a spectacle in ol' Beijing, eh?

I must say I didn't take kindly to his take on spartan culture and so on.
Thank you.  300 was stupid and the movie was a repetetive pile of cccrrraaappp.  And that asshole director is the guy who thought it neccessary to make a movie out of watchmen.

Carl Barks, even though hes been shoehorned to the dead funny-animal genre, is a real great.  He managed to write and draw compelling and aesthetically pleasing ducks.  disney characters for christ sakes.  He has some pretty decent torchbearers but they are all fairly derivative of his style.
