thankyou for the edit fool, ill be sure to learn from it and apply.
edit:
heres the update of the walk anim with the help of fools edit, im much more satisfied with it now:

heres an update of the jump anim, which i still cant seem to get right. trying to make him support weight instead of punch the ground. hes probably as angry as i am that i cant get the anim right

and heres a little idle animation for the other char:

Ahh, the character doesn't look so strange now that I see he's wearing a hat. I was a little confused at first. Once you see him from all directions, it is a very cool looking character.

hey

I was just thinking... the head bob is a result of the legs being out streached, lowering the height of the entire body. So I think maybe you should lower the body/sholders and such also? so to make the legs look shorter when outstreached? but I'm not completly sure, as animation is only at pixel level. But yea, I think the term "head bob" might be a bit misleading, maybe it should be called "body bob", or maybe "leg bob"?

Anyhows this is just a thought, maybe others have some advise or whatever about this :).

BTW, I didn't realise he was wearing a hat also :).

nebopolassar: thankyou
yosh64: ill look into the shoulder bob. the legs thats outstreched in front wont get shorter because of the perspective he's in, if it was in a different angle you might be right. thanks for the comment.
hmm, i thought it was pretty easy to read that it was a hat. well even if it wasnt then it should be( and apparently is) with the directionals.
edit:
woo idle:

trying to pull off a bit of subpixel animation.

I think the new jump is much easier to read, and I really like the animations and colour use.
The idle, I think, is moving too fast and too much. It's hard to make subtle movements with such a small sprite, but unless you want him to be heavily panting the whole time, I would suggest trying to tone it down a little bit.

It still looks a little too fast, IMO. He would only be breathing like that if he was winded after some major fighting. ;D Slow down the animation again and try having him hold his inhalation a little.

Definitely an improvement. The movements look more precise and sensible now as well. Maybe you could also try keeping the legs still?
Also, I agree with Stitchy.

Good stuff though, man. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
