Little creature with a santa hat.

[Luzeke]

On a lecture I started doodling on a small creature jumping around doing stuff. I liked it, refined it and decided to use it in my little christmas game I'm making for a competition. 




I didn't really want to use four frame walking animation, but my code doesn't allow much more than that without the animation getting chopped so I'll have to deal with it (plus, I'm lazy ) The animation from the back looks really bad, gotta fix that.


Burp/Attack animation. Actually my first attempt at animating smoke. 

Crits & Comments are always welcome.

EDIT//
I haven't figured out what to call this little thing. Not like name of a character, more like name of the creatures race. If you get an idea, please post it.

lol- its cute in a pikachu on meth sorta way.  ( i had to)

Anyways, it looks nice and I enjoy watching the cute bobbing of the hat. My only real crit is the burp- it looks like vomit to me. try less dark shadows and heavy contrast!


The best of luck with the contest!

oh and now that gliding mentioned it, the bobbing of the hat in the first one is good
but its not moving at all in the third one. u shud make it move there as well

First thing that comes to my head is "Chibble"

Regarding the smoke, it's always good to give the smoke some shape and shading, as if it consisted of small bulgy bulges. Now it looks like spinnach soup minus gravity D;

That's all right now. It's nice how he strains himself before puffing it out.

It'd also benefit from more frames :] I made an explosion not too long ago and landed at 19 frames ;> And it could be more. But keep the frame count for now, then if you want too, you can make middle-frames that tie them together later. Yus. Keep on pixlerating :>
