ZOMG iron giant

[Vanya]

Everything looks good except that right shoulder. Just fix it and you're golden! ^_^

[Archael]

Hmm

his arms straight down like that make him look a little too stiff / rigid

try having them bend at the elbows like Worker 8's arms?

it'll give him alot more character and will probably improve the entire animation alot

[Cheetah]

I actually don't mind that his arms are stiff, it makes sense so he is soo bulky. You are right that the right shoulder needs some work. My main concern is the feet/legs. They seem to be more shuffling out to the sides then taking steps. But this is truly amazing overall. I don't think you need to start from scratch, this has lots of potential.

[Luiakyn]

Those are all exactly my thoughts. I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing that. Going to be fixing that

[Vanya]

I didn't really notice the feet so much. And, I also don't mind the stiff arms. Iron giants are completely unnatural constructs after all.

I did just remember one thing about them, they carry a huge sword or mace in every other appearance they've made in the series. They usually have their weapons held in one hand and sometime have them lying on top of on of their shoulders. But even if you don't add it it'll still be epic. ^_^

[Luiakyn]

I'd like to, but I'm not sure there's enough room on the sheet

[Zozma]

this is looking great man, it really is

[Luiakyn]

: ) thanks

Ok, update...

How's this? What needs work?

[Zozma]

the back arm looks like it rotated better at the shoulder in the last preview the front arm looks good

[Cheetah]

You are going in the right direction. The arms are definitely looking much better. Like Zozma said the right one is a little off but I'm not sure how. The legs are still odd but better, they are just hard to work with since they are so stubby to begin with.

[Luiakyn]

Yeah, and the Stand pose has the feet all weird, like facing outward. I'll redo the right arm. Something's just not right. And if I can pin point it, I'd prefer to do it all over again.

I'll be working on it.

[Luiakyn]

I haven't gotten to fixing the front walk. I'll do that later today. I also need to do a proper skill and jump, too :/

[Zozma]

yessssss, that back walking animation looks good, better than the front currently yes, but i know you can fix that

[Xifanie]

looks like a tank, awesome...!

MOAR

I want this bastard as Worker 7 *NEW*

[BloodyBlade]

ME too!!! This Iron Giant should be in 1.3 Battles and maybe others.

[SentinalBlade]

I'd like to, but I'm not sure there's enough room on the sheet

This doesnt have to go over the iron giant...you can use something as expansive as a morbol sprite if you find yourself getting limited by frames.

But if you plan on "replacing" the worker 8 sprite, and not just adding this one, then you can just change the sprite type byte of worker #8 sprite and use a morbol based version of this one anyways.

[Archael]

once again, if the arms were not completely straight it would be easier to tell which direction the body is really facing

this animation could pass for a front view unless you specifically tell the person looking at it that it's a rear view

bending the arms is going to help alot

[Kuraudo Sutoraifu]

I actually thought it was the front view.

[Luiakyn]

I'm trying my best to bend the arms, but every time I do it looks weird. I'm still working on it :/

how you do this?
