Space Trooper + First Monstar

[Stwelin]

To me it just looks like webbing between the upper and lower 'lips.'  The same sort of thing that appears on dinosaur's mouths, i guess, that sort of thing?

It doesn't read very well though.

[Xion]

My guess was the same as Stwelin's. I think you should just get rid of it. It doesn't fit at all, and it's hard to tell what it is.
That said, the new one fits the style much better.

[Sherman Gill]

Hmm, yes, Stwelin and Xion were right.
Here's an idle:


Think it's done?

[eck]

muuuuuuuch better.  i think this one has just the right amount of animation.

[Sherman Gill]

Normal-speed run cycle for the Poligan, the first monster. It's pretty close to the idle since I used that to cut down on the truly tedious work of moving 14 pixels with only a general idea of what I'm doing on each frame

Slower than Moe:

I consider run animations my weak point, so... Adivce?

[Fool]

I'd suggest to give it a a bit more leg action.=)

[Sherman Gill]

Alas, I am ridden with jealousy Fool. Like most of the things I animate, I lost track of my original goal and took simpler routes, but your animation is exactly, or at the very least, insanely close to how I wanted it before.

[Sherman Gill]

Hrmm.
Here's a new run animation, and a revised idle:

[philipptr]

imho the timing of the idleanimation is too fast. if I try to breath like that it makes me feel like I have run quite a distance before making it a bit slower and increasing the time between the breaths should fix it I guess.
Otherwise nice, especially the running animation.

[Sherman Gill]

BITE!


Still working on it. Unhappy with the way the front leg moves and the jiggly bits on his head look a bit odd.
