on perspective I think you should lengthen and add height to her body. she looks a bit dwarfsh as of yet. :/

I'm afraid this not an option, I fully get sprite heights limits,  she's supposed to look cartoonish. Thanks.
Which shade did you mean?

clr, thank you.=)

I made the stalk fall at a different rate then fall on its side and fade away, even though I want to, I cant make the animation play any faster with imageready

"0" delay in IR plays as 0.1 by defult. If you want to get it faster you should set delay time  less, then 0.1 - let say 0.05 (no less than 0.02=) IE still going to show it as 0.1. Firefox or Opera - as set.

for both twinsen and this project, no limits

For the first time I haven't pay close attention to the text once saw the picture=),so I figure you still going to work on cutting motion - I won't comment on it yet then.=)

is it really that hard?
I thought the bush chop anim in twinsen was quite successful so I decided to do a similar anim
( here the sword is going down but the bush is still being thrown upwards, and I dont think it really matters much)
I havent done any sword slash anims for my rpg sprites yet, but I'd expect a simple top right to bottom left strike

Just wondering if you have any limitations - like number of sprites etc? Cut movement itself needs some fixes I think...=)

Ok, I see an emty spot - male 43, started fooling around pixel last thanksgiven and got 1-year old grandson.
Go easy on me - I might have a heart attack or something.
