New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - JoJo - 07-02-2010

Is it ust me or is the animated gif blurry?
I think the feet nedds some work on them.
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - JoJo - 07-02-2010
yeah, the gif is blurry, i didnt have anything to animate it with and im tired so i used an online gif maker lol, and what exactly needs work on the legs?
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - NESfever - 07-02-2010
I think they could use some more movement.
Anyway, here, take a cookie and a better gif animation

i dont think that, as a battle stance, could be performed naturally. or if its even posibly to slide your legs over your ankles without moving your feet.

Thanks for the new gif and the cookie haha

Okay so should i try moving the feet in the second and third frames?
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - Gors - 07-02-2010
Yes
the feet are fixed in the place, but it doesn't mean they can't move.
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - JoJo - 07-02-2010
so should bend the heels or something?
EDIT:
I ended up bending the heels up on the first and last frames, i think that might've solved the problem, is this better

RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - NESfever - 07-02-2010
Yes.
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - 2+D - 07-02-2010
I don't think the left leg (your left) should be like that at all.
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - JoJo - 07-02-2010
Like what? What do you mean? do you mean pointing the opposite way?
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - 2+D - 07-02-2010
Yeah, that's what I mean.
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - JoJo - 07-02-2010
okay, is there a good way a good way to fix that without remaking the entire leg? or should i just remake it?
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - 2+D - 07-02-2010
Just flip it, simple, and remake the animation with the ne foot.
RE: New Spriter seeking critique and guidance - JoJo - 07-02-2010

EDIT: So I finished the fighting stance with the new foot placement above, so yeah C and C would be cool :b
