Unfinished Characters

[Dragon5]

This is off-topic, but I really feel the need to critique the animation presented.
That animation looks fluent, but the positioning is just off. How does someone swing in front of them and magically end up with their weapon behind them and holding it as if he didn't even let go? Also, while he's spinning: when he faces forward during the spin it looks fine. However, when he faces away we see his arms still cover his scythe (it looks like it's running through his shoulder, ouch...). The scythe is too high up.

Unless those are some sort of holders that are running through the handle (which wouldn't make sense anyway), this doesn't even look right at all.

I believe that you want to check everything again. It was always behind when he was flying.

whats a broptip ? :P

All you're lacking is exactly what was JustMe all about... you're up to this tutorial: http://www.lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=8004
ESPECIALLY THIS POST: http://www.lf-empire.de/forum/showthread...#pid152936
or you're up to nothing.
I just want you to read this badly madly carefully and understand the rules. Your sprites can reach high level, sicne you are drawing them really nice and detailed, but you still have to work over the shapes and poses.
The tutorial by JustMe is probably one of most needed on this phorums, sadly he doesn't come here often for now.
Once again - good luck and keep it up.

yeah, i will read it like over 9000 times

TYPO!!! i meant 'brotip' like an piece of an advice from a Bro/brother/dude/colegue/mate/friend

yeah, i will read it like over 9000 times

You better do.

Never say such a thing. Every detail is really important. Don't leave mistakes, if you see them. I agree, that sometimes somethings are not really visable, but if somebody points them out you should take rid of them. This is just another brotip to become a challanging spriter. B|
Unless u just meant, that it will be fixed in the game. I just got confused what did you mean.

i mean that i don't change it, because if i would change every mistakes i saw, i wouldn't get finished a character...
