Nice find. I could do with some lessons myself.

I guess what I kind of like the best so far is the example that Brentimous made. I guess I'll try and go with that because some more of my characters like one that I plan on calling Mistress Kitty will be a bit larger. But then again I plan on making a ballarina character so maybe I'll work something out and get back with y'all. Thanks again for all the help.

Edit: Ok I took Brentimous example tried enlarging it to a bit larger size. Now I have not trimmed the outline yet the way I did things and I Think I'll do this from now on like most of y'all have shown me. Start with stick figures use familiar shapes and start naked in black and white. and hopefully my next character will be better at first.

Well I've been busy so I haven't done much but dress her and add a kick sprite.

So what do y'all think?

Babar · Fri 05/02/2010 13:10:47

Please don't hate me, I just thought this was hilarious:

Ahhrrm. Now on to the suggestions. Her kicking leg looks somewhat mutated or broken or something, because if you notice, it seems to be popping out of her right leg (as opposed to the waist). So....my suggestion would be to move the kicking leg higher.

FSi++ · Fri 05/02/2010 13:12:30

Babar did it a little wrong.

GarageGothic · Fri 05/02/2010 13:48:35

If I could be arsed, I'd replicate her into a line of can-can dancers.

Haha.

(No disrespect to the graphics' author of course. Just for fun.)

First of all: How do someone kick without having the leg stretched?

Second: Make her leg come, and as the leg aproacher the air, the body turns a bit, and when it is close to the target, the body will turn some degrees, look at the image, notice how the left leg and foot turns.

Third: The arms. Ah, the arms. The arm of the kicking leg will go with the leg and the other arm will go in the oposite direction.

Final: Draw her body turning, but her head will stay forward.

While I agree with you and thought of the same link, I think (I could be wrong though but somewhere along I got the impression) the animation is to the fact there's some basic template of a fighter...
if I'm wrong I apologise for the confusion. $:-\$

You guys kill me. I laughed so hard at y'alls jokes on that pic. I'll be working on it tonight I guess...

That is if I can stop laughing long enough.

O.K. I hope I got it this time but here she is.

Just a bit of physics; Your legs represent about 40% of the mass of your body. So if you thrust one outward you need to establish a counterweight to keep your center of mass. Instinctively your body already knows how to do this, so if you put a leg out in front of you then you will automatically lean backwards to keep your balance.

Babar · Sat 06/02/2010 13:48:32

While it is possible for me to kick one leg forward, with reasonable force while standing relatively straight (as the sprite is doing), I definitely can't bend my kicking leg that way

Seraphim, I think the bend of the kicking leg you had before worked fine, the base of the leg just needed to be a little higher to be anatomically correct. You placed the leg higher in the new sprite, but gave her a weird rubbery bending leg that doesn't look real.

Jakerpot · Sat 06/02/2010 19:08:05

Come on man... Try animating this:

When you are done, you will have learned a lot...
Sincerely? The leg suck. HOW CAN a leg be on this way? It is inverted!!!! Make the leg STRAIGHT and with the proportions right.
I know i'm acting like a sucker right now, but it seems you haven't even looked at the links a gave you...

Tuomas · Sat 06/02/2010 19:56:08

Lol, she got a huge boner

Sorry.

seraphimdreamer777 · Sun 07/02/2010 05:51:51

I did look at the link but...

I'm sorry to bring up personal issues I dropped out of a special ed school because the pressure became too much for me. I've always wanted to make video games and if I can't do it right with AGS I feel I've failed.

I spent so much time drawing in school and art was my favorite subject. I feel like if I fail in these fields. I've failed being a human being. I know I probably sound whiny but I'm trying. I do appreciate the help and support though and I thank y'all. I won't give up till I got this right. I promise myself this and the whole gaming world.

Jakerpot · Sun 07/02/2010 06:22:22

Wait... Are you making a FIGHT game in AGS???
... I don't know what to say... I hope you choose a more apropriate engine

Where there's a will there's a way...

Plus, he's being sincere and asking for help with art, so let's at least help as much as we can. As for me, drawing isn't my forte',for me it's pixel art, line art, or nothin. Unfortunately I can't really help here, but I thought I'd give my two cents.
