[Souly]

Hope this fixes all the problems that were brought forward.

Sorry for double posting, just expanded the mockup a bit.



Was trying to do my first gun shooting, but seems I'm having problems figuring out how it's supposed to look...


Grlmm reaper.

[Darien]

quick edit on tree trunk, mine's on left.  Using every color every where like you did on the trunk makes it look very flat.



I like the reaper, 

[Souly]

Used your darker purple for my update.


Hope I fixed what you were talking about with the trunk.


Mafia boss?

[Souly]

I know it looks wonky, I just can't pinpoint what it is...
This has been the hardest animation so far due to his size.

[AlienQuark]

His hands and feet are moving forward/backward at the same time (respectively) so it might look better to have L foot and R hand forward and then same other way. That might fix your problem.

souly, it does look wonky, but i am picturing that sprite walking with rickets. try it out.

[Indigo]

maybe try more interesting shapes?



My advice is to steer away from precognitive 'generic' things such as the "straight trunk with a ball of leaves on top."  You ask any kindergartener to draw a tree, that is exactly what they'll draw... you've just improved on their methods a bit.  On a seperate note, with such imaginative characters you need an imaginative environment to fit them.  Right now there's a sort of contrast of themes.

my two cents

I realized the legs and feet weren't in sync.
And it looked like the legs weren't doing a full rotation.
Hopefully this looks better.

Dan: My weakness has always been scenery and backgrounds, as you can see in all my work I've never done 'em.
So I'm basically just stepping into the water, but I do understand what you mean about straying away from just basic shapes.
I'll see what I can do.

I know it's not needed to make a second post, but since I'm going to bed now I wanted to bump my thread 
With the newest update that I was working on.

Update, think this fixes some of the problems I had found with it.
