Trust me, I saw the connection immediately. I think you're forgetting who you're talking to.

In the animation that you did, however, it's much less clear and it looks like his arms are switching, rather than him actually using them properly. Terry has a clear indication that his arm is going up, not just because the jacket design is different, but because he bends more properly and his shading is complimented well with each side of his body.

The problem here is that the way you lined the back is similar to the way you lined the front. The shading is almost identical and it's hard to tell that he's actually bringing his arm down, and not just suddenly switching his left arm to his right arm.

Geez, sorry, I didn't realize I was spamming until after I got warned.
Please try to go a bit easy on me this is still the first time I've used message boards/forums and I'm still learning.
I'm trying really hard to be good and do things right around here, so I'm asking everyone to bear with me please... and I'm sorry for whatever trouble I've caused so far...
And okay, I thought that looked like a kick. It looks awesome. Smile

I would've just verbally warned you for that, Jetters, but it's all good. You're improving with every post and it's good to see new members trying to fit in. Don't be discouraged-- keep it up.

As for the animation, I agree with Tyvon for the most part, and I would like to see the rocks perhaps jut out a bit quicker. Otherwise, looks really good, man!

I think part of the problem with your animation is that he's turning too far back
[Image: snk-terry.gif]

You posted this yourself so you should be paying better attention to it! Although his upper torso is twisted so it's almost completely facing away, his hips are still sideways to the viewer, so his whole torso is twisting rather than just turning away.
You've shaded the back of your sprite as if he's facing completely away from us, which a- makes the punch seem less powerful (because there's less tension in his torso), and b- gives rise to the readability problems people are talking about.

I think part of the problem is also the lack of transition- I think you might need an extra frame to the spin so it looks more like he's spinning towards us, rather than just raising his arm and punching.
