Very nice and fluid. Looks a little Cave Story-ish.

Well, then I have succeeded. ^^

Also, updated with shirtless version.

cool! the animations are nice

Very well done. I'd like to see more.

That's incredibly fluid. Groovy (for lack of a better adjective) work.

Those sprites are really nice dude

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments. ^^
Never seem to get any criticism though...

Smooth animation and nice art =D

Idle animation looks fantastic.

Updated with a ducking animation.

more fluid animation

I don't think you really need criticism. There's nothing out of place.

That walking animation is one of the most fluid I have seen. The shading and colors are also great.

And as for the ducking animation, great work there. It's just as fluid at the walking animation.

This is incredible. You, my good Lan, have animation down to a science. Even the hair bounces incredibly. Though I heard you're sick of hearing "perfect hav mi babeez" so I now give you Criticism/Picking-At-Your-Flaws Phage.

First, the shading on the pants is pillowy and icky. Please consider reshading: if executed properly, it could show a pocket/? too. Next, the hair is cut off at the top, or appears to be. Finally, the end of the duck animation is unrealistic. I think he should step up instead of sliding up.

I hope that helps.

The running is nice, but it looks more like a Casual Jog, There is ALOT more movement in a run.

Best ever, I like running animation the best!

@ Bacteriophage:
The shading on the pants is like that on purpose, seeing as the red cloth hanging in front of his crotch kinda blocks the sunlight, it doesn't reach that part of the leg, and creates a sense of pillow shading. And my character doesn't have any pockets. : P
The haircut is just the way I wanted it to be, I see what you mean when you say it looks cut off, but it's just the shading kinda making it look like that.
As for the duck animation... I got lazy. ^^'
Thanks though. XD

@ Nova:
He kind of is jogging. I didn't want him to dash insanely, cause I figured it would be unrealistic if he kept doing that for God knows how long. I may make a dashing animation though, and in that case he would be running best he can.

Ah ok.

Well, it's a great animation.

You are awesome at animation. Teach me please


Anyway the shading on the legs seems fairly inconsistent. On the base idle animation, it's kind of pillow shaded, then when he's running (and ducking) it looks kind of flat. I'd assume it's deliberate, since it seems quite obvious... but I think it'd look a little odd if that was in a game or something, personally...

That's all I can notice, awesome work.
