2d fighter

on: February 08, 2009, 09:35:49 pm
Hi!
Today I was motivated to create a 2d fighter. It took me about 6 hours to make this stance.
Tips and critiques are welcome.

Hi, this is nice. I especially like the subtle rotation in the hands. On to the nitpicks:

Colors could use more saturation. They all lean too far towards grey currently.

The abs have too much definition. There should only be a hint of musculature.

Ankles are too thick.

You'll probably need to add a couple of frames to the animation. The forward/backward hops need extra frames to smooth the transition. A little to jerky as it is.

Vagina.  ???   :-\  :o  :-[

It lacks hip movement, coming from the waist. It looks very unbalanced as if all the chest muscles are completely tightened because the bump from back to forth is now completly ignoring motion and gravity (still talking hips/lower torso here).
Also the back foot is sliding way too much based on the amount of weight that leans on it. It should be lifted from the ground slightly to even move like that I think, which can't be with how the weight is placed right now.

Not a bad job though =)

The abs look more like scars, don't use so hard lines. Try using the lighting to give a hint of abs.
It all needs more saturation and the hair would be nicer with some more contrast.
The belt buckle seems to be moving.
The cameltoe(?) is kind of disturbing, but if you want to keep it...

A tad too defined of a camel toe going on there.

blumunkee, TrevoriuS, Emtch,
Thanks for advices. I've changed the saturation and worked over abs. I'm afraid I cant add more movement to the hips, don't know how to apply it.

what are those two white lines on her crotch?
they are very distracting.

Nice rotation on the legs. When she sets her foot down on either side there's a pretty big jump in the animation, it's worse when she moves to the left. It's also a little strange that you're using multiple rendering styles on the same image; her pants, jacket and shoes are more realistic but everything else is cell-shaded.
I mild from suffer dislexia.

I too have been having problems assessing anything else on the sprite.
