nice!  the sprite reads immediately despite its small size.  I think a little shoulder movement would complement the gun and backpack motion nicely.

i try to improve the runcycle - the sprite comes later.
c&c is appreciated

For readability, I'm afraid the gun wiggling has to go. It really looks like the tip kind of loses its mojo and just hangs dangling.

Eugh, that was the worst description evar, sorry <3

On the contrary, if you make the gun wiggle in both the up and down directions, and add a little more exageration, it could do wonders for the personality of the sprite. Sort of a mini-metalslug style, exagerate the motion to get the point across. I like a sprite a lot, lots of detail for being so small.

I'm really liking this sprite for some reason. I think if you added a bit of rotation with his shoulders it would make his run look more defined. But this may end up making it look too messy, so who knows? Anyway, good sprite and keep working on it because I'd love to see the end result.

HONK HONK EDIT TIME.

Either the highlight/transparency of the gun has to go, or the wiggling does.

I prefer wiggling.



Also, attempted shoulder and head movement.

Well Rynen10K pretty much did exactly what I was talking about. Good edit  .

When the near arm goes forward, though, wouldn't the guntip go back and vice versa?
The backpack looks a little low...but then I've never seen a decked out militia so I could be wrong.
In any case, Very cool sprite.

yeah, he needs more vertical movement. People move up and down when they run, especially wih a huge pack on their back. Also, make the gun bounce up and down each step.

It looks like the arms and legs on each side are syncronised, As in right arm goes forward when right leg goes forward. Try to walk (or run) like this in real life and see if your brain likes it.
