What do you think about this first walk anim.:

Haddas · Fri 27/02/2004 11:34:25

OMGWTFLOLOLOLOL!!11!! It's teh suxx0rs!11!

Umm... It's not that bad. I just don't find it to my taste...

Nacho · Fri 27/02/2004 11:39:29

HADDAS IS TEH DIPLOMAT!!!11!

Just kidding ^_^

Hot... this is just a two frames animation, you should make the animation slower to make it seem a walkcicle... $:-\$

BTW... there won't be miracle, and you won't get the feeling of motion with two frames, unless you use this sprite in some very concise games (I.E. a copy old the olf gameboys RPG, which used this 2-frames animations...)

It's kinda like Marvin the Martian...

If you want him to scuttle along the ground. that'sd fine. Just exaggerate the movements so that's obvious this perso doesn't walk normally.

If you don't. He's going to have to lift his legs up.

I would love to see a game where everyone moves with two-frame walk animations.

lost traveler... can you see anything wrong with your sig? like the fact that it's huger than huge

hotshot, definetly add more frames and slow it down a bit, that walkcycle would work fine if that's all you can do or all you want but i think there's more you can do

I hate it when people do that. It wouldn't be the first time a forum admin disabled the ability to have images in our signatures because of some fool cluttering up everything. And that's a shame, since I want to keep my nifty banner thingie. :'(

Sorry for ranting off-topic.

I didn't always swing my arms when I walked, but as I became older people started bothering me about it, like it really mattered or something. After it got to the point where people would bother me about it every day, I said screw it, I'll swing my !@$#$!# arms when I walk if it really means that much to society. So actually, there are probably some people who don't do it. I think most people do it by instinct to balance better when they walk.

Is there a way to limit the height of images in sigs? Since the avatars are limited to 65x65 it seems like you could limit the banner to *x125 or something. I wouldn't oppose something like that, and it seems like people probably wouldn't be so intrusive as to link multiple images to make it taller anyways.

LostTraveler: I'm sorry, but you've done one of my pet peeves in your walk cycle.

Breasts do not automatically equal a W-shape! ARGH!

And the bounce you've added is really bizzare. Because the shoulers aren't moving at all, nor the hips, the breasts wouldn't move.

Speaking of shoulers and hips, the shoulders you've drawn are really wide. She looks like a linebacker. As for hips, when a girl walks in a short skirt, she'd rarely, if ever, walk with her legs that far apart.

I hope you don't mind, but I did a bit of an edit.

I narrowed the shoulders, brought the feet more together, and changed the breasts. Hope that helps!

Thanks rose, that was my first character ever, I animated it as a test.

Migs · Tue 02/03/2004 00:12:30

You all are ruining masterful works of art. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original sprites and animations Hotspot and LostTraveler did. Stop corrupting these masterpieces and demonizing them into abominations of nature.

MrColossal · Tue 02/03/2004 00:18:38

um... what migs?

you do realize this is the critic's lounge?
