Kelvin Shadewing's Pixels

[kidicarus29]

I did the blur to make the flap seem more powerful and cut down on downward frames. If I just did a down-moving wing, I'd have to also include the fully-down wing, which would add a frame and take away from the strong flapping effect. The little guy is flying for his freedom, after all. ^.-.^;

Again, while I understand what you were going for, I think it's possible to do it another way and not make the down swing stick out so much. It looks like his wing turns into a jagged cobalt cracker for a second, which is probably due to the frequency of the blur's appearance itself.

I'll whip of some examples of what I mean in a bit.. going to sleep at the moment.
