OKAY! Final idle animation?

Looks pretty good, but I think his/her outfit is still moving a bit too much (torso-piece/scarf seems more unnatural here). With that change,I think the animation would be pretty much done, or at least better, if it doesn't make the hair seem to have too much motion paired with it.

EDIT: Ponytail's acting strange, too, as if it's missing a frame.

Thanks for the feedback. (Is it not clearly a girl? )

The clothing is meant to be very loose-fitting like the girl's in this picture, so I think It should move quite a bit:


Do you think that explanation is sufficient, or do you still think it looks wrong?

I smoothed out the motion of the ponytail and improved the bangs. Also experimented with some specular highlights:

Can't decide how I feel about the highlights... What say y'all?

EDIT: Made some minor tweaks.

Will you be working more on this?
I just played bullet ninja and thought it was really nice, but lacking in some variation when it comes to graphics and level design

Also, your tiles look quite dark and repetitive, I'd try larger rocks and brightening them.

edit: Here's the link which caught my eye, recognized the graphics

my take at the pony-tail-wall-pose problem (better late than never?)

[tehwexxl0rz]

Hey, guys! Thanks for the feedback!

Seiseki, your critique is spot-on, but I'm sorry to say I'm no longer actively involved in the project.
Although I was originally just contributing art, I worked as a co-designer for 6 months until the creator and I parted ways due to creative differences.
Nonetheless, I would like to complete the character's animation set for a portfolio piece, but right now I have other projects that take priority.

I really like this little ninja, also I found this:

Nice to see it in action!

Sorry to kick up an old thread.

It seems I won't be receiving any credit in future versions of Bullet Time Ninja.
My artwork has been removed and I am not receiving any payment.

I know the programmer is looking for a pixel artist to replace the art in this thread, so I felt obligated to share with you this information....

Thanks.

Screw PM's. Let's hear about it. Scandalous indies should all be exposed.

[tehwexxl0rz]

Mathias, I would love to explain the situation in detail, but I'm worried that any direct accusations I could make in a public forum could be legally interpreted as slander.
