Topic: Finish Him! Completing player character animation sets

[SerenityinFire]

I saw that sprite yesterday and that's the approach I was thinking of taking.  It really looks to me like most or Richter's sprites were just edits of Simon from CV4.

You know, the punching animation you made for Richter looks a bit like Guy's backhand jabs.
EDIT: After seeing it in slow-mo (opening it in my default Blackberry browser), maybe not. A bit oddly animated though, looks like a closed-fist sideways chop.

I'll agree the punching animation needs some work.  I'll probably get to it in the next few days as I'm going to be redoing all of Richter's sprites.  They are a mess with all the inconsistencies in hair, build and dress.
Here's the first of many Richter animations to come.  It needs a few touch ups, but is pretty much done.

Is it just me, or does the lower arm look a tad too long?

Is t me or does it look like Richter is doing something else 

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Indeed, that arm is moving way too much and looks... masturbatory.
It should have more of a down and slightly forward motion (think Ryu's stance's lower arm, only if viewed from the opposite side).

Right now it's just the forearm that's moving up and down.  Doesn't look right.

New Stance and New Backdash

The New Backdash needs a little work, mainly a transition frame between the stance and the move and a change in what frames loop.

[Inccubus]

I honestly never liked his standing sprite because the pose itself looks unnatural. most people stand with their shoulders parallel to their hips not perpendicular. Looks like it should be a transition frame for some upper body action. The frame for when you press up and he's getting ready to use a sub-weapon looks more natural to me. Just my too cents, though. Great work so far, nonetheless.

Here's a more complete backdash animation for Richter.

And here he is with his back turned.

Yeah, I gave him some bigger muscles.

New Simon Belmont, both with and without sword.

Nice!

Simon's outfit from Castlevania Judgment.

Simon's outfit from Castlevania Judgment.

He looks like Bass from Dead or Alive....

[Donoffrio]

Nice work!

Though i think he should look more like this:
