El updato!
* listened to some stuff-a-roo, and moved his legs closer together, about one pixel distance between(else both legs would get lost in a sea of dark black-ish hues, creating doppleganger, "pogo-stick" Snake...)
* I also agree with the inconsistency of the skinny to fat ratio with the frontal/back to side views. I tried to fatten up the side views a bit, but only enough to show movement. Any more fatter, and it'd be really difficult for me to make it more clearer that he's sneaking. It's already hard enough to tell as it is. I don't, however, want to change his key frames from 4-6, mainly for 2 reasons: I want to stay the course and force my self to learn key frames, so that movement is clearly shown, with the least amount of frames, and the other reason being that my frame count is already so high. Adding 6 frames would mean a surplus from 16 to 36 frames, just from the directional anim. alone! That's more than doubling them! But if they look too shitty, than I'd be content in changing them.
* And yes, I noticed that in the shooting frames, his side view's head does not shake like his frontal/back do when firing. Ugh, I just can't figure out how to get a better jerk of motion from firing a gun, while making it clear in such a little sprite, without making it look like some cheap marquee select, shift selection action, or random pixels. Still learning...I may actually put in a crawling motion, explosion, and death anim. before I quit this guy.
@Camu-I mean Conceit: Heh, yeah I don't wanna put you through the hell of explaining MGS story and canon to me again. I'm sure if I were to take a written exam, I'd flunk the poo out of it. And you'd be there standing in the door way, shaking your head in disappointment as I walked away with my head down, and tail between my legs.
This may be a little off-topic Question, but: Is Solid Snake Naked Snake/Big Boss's son, or clone? I'm guessing Naked Snake(yeah, the one I'm animating) is the older one, but Solid Snake, from the MGS4 previews, looks old as crap. What the hell am I missing here?
Any hoo, thanks for the critiques so far, they've really been helpful everybody!
