BB's Crit Thread - Return from Death

I agree with rubisko about the perspective piece. Not a major thing but since we can see the side of that house and the front of the house it throws it off for a one point. If it had been say a birds eye view of the house and the road it might have been easier to pull off but you would still have to turn it so you see less of the front of the house. Or see all of the front of the house with an angled birds eye view but no side of the house.

Sorry guys... I think you're wrong. If you put it in 2 point perspective the house would be an even square or rectangle, as you may WANT it to be, but it doesn't "HAVE" to be. not all houses are even on all sides, and you can put any shape in a 1 point perspective. I do believe the sidewalk on the right side of the street is at the wrong angle compared to the left though.

I agree more with NWAP on the house perspective, but that' a horse that' been flogged to death, SO!

Your most recent piece is pretty awesome! It has movement without millions of little action lines sunbeaming around the figure, haha. If I had to make one suggestion, I'd probably have made the feet a little smaller due to some perspective, but it's not that big of a deal. (:

@Matt: Yep, main character. Looks like you know the drill. :) I'm going to go save those references in my favorites, but I don't think it's relevant. I didn't mention it specifically but he's jumping down (as in out of an airplane), not up. Those do look really useful though.
@NWAP and Psy: I'll try to keep that in mind for next time. Maybe I can still get to the sidewalk...
@Seefy: :D

So ... Something very different. Sy has inadvertently gotten me back into spriting and I was messing around with the template I made. Which of these do y'all think looks the best?

B is the best. He's in the most relaxed position, and that's generally a good thing if you're making RPG type games (which, if he's facing forwards, it probably is). If he went into battle, though, I would say animate A then D to make him look like he's breathing. It gives more life to the battle, and makes it more exciting than walking around to only do the breathing in a fight.
