Walk-Cycles

[Phemar]

Please can someone help me?

Can someone please animate a walk-cycle for my character:

Please? Don't say that I will feel more fulfilled if I did my own art, I won't.
I really suck at animating!

Anyway, thanks!

was that so hard?  kee-rist, what is with people and bmps?  

anyway i seriously doubt anyone will do a walkcycle for you for 2 reasons.

1. the character doesn't look that good
2.  and to do a walkcycle (4 separate views) of this not-so-good-looking guy would probably take 50 times longer than you took to actually draw it.

no offense guy, but i'd only consider doing a walkcycle if it looked like someone had put in a decent amount of effort in the original design. and i'm not even that good!

also  the fact that you couldn't even be bothered to post it as something other than a bmp says a good deal.

if this seems too harsh than i'm sorry.  so i'll offer up some constructive criticism.

does this character need hands?
does he need feet?
how does he walk?
does he need ears, or a nose?

draw a view from the side, as you posted it there's no side view, were someone to animate it they'd have to draw one from scratch.  

try changing the colours

and why is he only lighted from one side?  will he always be to the right of a light source in the game?

if noone will do 4 walkcycles for you then eric has an excellent tutorial here.

good luck and keep practicing.

no offence but the character seriousely eeds some work, the colour of his face makes him look constipated and above all else he looks like one of those bendy rubber figures you can get for kids.

maybe that's what he wants it to look like?

but as far as asking for a walkcycle you'll have to be much more specific

his game is about stick figures

[SLaMgRInDeR]

oh so it's supposed to be a stick man, thats alright then

[Phemar]

It's just that when I convert stuff to JPG, the quality goes down so badly!

Anyway the character is supposed to be a Stickmen, as the game is called Stickmen II. Stickmen I was only the 2nd game I'd ever made, and I wouldn't call myself much of an animator then. I have improved and if I could choose I wouldn't have made him a stickman now, it's just that I have to STICk with the theme, otherwise people would not know it is a sequel. Anyway never mind about the walkcycle, I drew one myself, so I don't need help anymore!

Thanks guys for the help, I realised he looks crap, but that was the point.

EDIT: Slamgrinder, that signature reeeally scares me, take it away! lol  ;-)

If saving it as a jpg makes it look bad, save it as png or gif.

it's easy: jpg is for photo's, gif is for images with large areas with teh same colours.
