Geno Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story (Battle)

[Hoeloe]

CHOO CHOO I'M A TRAIN.

In all seriousness, though, PLEASE just make a single sprite and let us critique it until it looks good, then work on the animation. If you keep doing this every time someone makes a comment, you'll be redrawing the idle a LOT, and that just wastes everyones time.

And why is Geno's idle looking down and to the right?

[megamario1234]

Now does the battle pose look better?

[A.J. Nitro]

He should be facing more to the side like Mario is.

[megamario1234]

MegaMario, Before you try to change anything else on this battle pose, I would suggest making other views first, namely a front and side (profile) standing/direction sprites. It will help you tweak not only size issues but also proportioning him correctly. (The diagonal pose should be your in-battle base; characters around Geno's size use the same parts for overworld and battle.)

I probably want to follow Ridge's suggestion for making Geno view diagonally.

[Garamonde]

That may be true but he's not even looking at the enemy as it is now. You'll really want to make him face right just a little bit more. At least a bit closer to Luigi's direction.

[megamario1234]

I think this should be better?

[Ton]

You're not listening. He needs to look like this; ___ and not like this; \

[Garamonde]

Yeah I meant his whole body should be turned to the right just a bit. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

[Frario]

The animations are fine, but i think you just need a lot more A-a to make it look smooth and soft like M&L2/3

[megamario1234]

I'm gonna have to make Geno face like Mario instead of Luigi.

[megamario1234]

Another update. Here is the fixed version of the idle pose.

[Virt]

when things billow/whatever (hat, hair, cape) they don't move in unison with the body. There's a slight delay.

[Kami]

That, and the hair stretches instead of rising/or whatever it's called

[megamario1234]

Does that mean I have to move the cape faster than the hat and make the hair move a little?
