Thats a rather awkward looking stance.

What's akward about it?
Her arms are going to move, if that's what's wrong. I just did the legs first.

The legs aren't following the pants at all.
In other news, Idle attempt #3

Well, you've got the body facing fully to the right with the lower half facing the left and the legs... well, they are going both ways, not to mention it almost looks like you made the legs start just below the pants.

While I don't know the character too well, it looks like the hips and the chest are facing too drastically different of directions.

Basically, this is the effect it's giving off:

I was going off of this at a 2d sideways angle.
I will try and fix the legs, and maybe see if I can make the twisting look more natural.
EDIT: Tomorrow, because I have to get off now.

I thought you were talking about mine for a few seconds and was about to lose hope lol

I don't know if I a terrible animator or if I worry too much about how everything looks and just give up halfway through.

I was actually thinking on an idle anim for you, I'll try making it soon.

To be fair I think I admitted that I didn't pay much attention to posing or anatomy when I first posted that. (I was just trying to get up more reference pictures, but of course that's not an excuse.)

Either way, I'm still working the idle right now, so don't worry. When it comes to help I was thinking more along the lines of me at least getting a rough animation done and getting help in tweaking it if I can't get it right myself.

EDIT: Or Gors can do what he wants, of course!
Also, I was wondering, anyone have any Midnight Moe ideas for her? I have one, but it's obscure and I'm sure nobody here would know the reference, so before I go on about it I'd like other ideas if anyone has them.

Honestly, I like what you had. Sadly, I'm not a master of this style so it's a bit meh, and since Gors is planning on making something, theres no point in finishing it.


Oh well, I basically just edited your original one to try and get it in style. Like I said though, I'm not a master of the style so I may have taken it farther from it.

I have to be honest and say that it looks like his legs are just kinda bulging in and out for no real reason, and it looks wrong.

Yeah, I'm having so much trouble just bending legs, I'm going to work on it for another hour before I'm done spriting for the night.
EDIT:
I'm done for the night, I've got some music and stuff to catch up on.

I think another issue is that you have 4 frames to work with, but for the most part it looks like you are only using 2 of them more or less.

Maybe you could try something a little more fluent like this?

I'll show you frame by frame, the middle two are the same except for the fact that the fist clenches, and stays clenched in the last frame, not quite sure how to make it not so wonky, but I'll keep trying tomorrow.

EDIT: OH MY GOD, yes, I just don't have an eye for idles, but that is radulartastic! I shall study that and try to come up with my own so I'm not just taking from everybody
EDIT: So tempted to ape it, but I must resist, I will never learn otherwise... but then I think "well, it'll be quite similar since I'm going off of it, but then I think...MUST RESIST APING IT"
