the man from musashi

[Phantom Killah]

...I love the contrast between your human designs and the other races. It really emphasizes the weirdness of the Jester creatures when the humans look so normal. ...

That's exactly what i'm going for, I'm glad you caught on to it

(I'm not actually using no shading though, just very minimal shading. There are a few places where I use a little bit of shading for definition)

wip sidescroller guy I'm working on for a zelda ii esque idea. The man from musashi is his name.
He's loosely related to the other stuff I've been posting in this thread

A bit more of a dynamic pose

[Phantom Killah]

here he is facing the opposite direction. I'm sure there are things I could be doing better

idk any more

Hope you don't mind, I found the face lost readability, so I edited it. I also made him lean a bit forwards.

Keep going, man!

[Phantom Killah]

thanks Chris!


I made some adjustments to face/posture

also also
first attempt at sword attack


would def appreciate some commentary on this here animation, I'm not sure how well it works

The sword slash looks a little stiff to me. Maybe bend the back and the legs more?

Hmm, how about twisting the hips or moving them forward a bit (basically small weight shifting)? It seems like a neutral attack, so just try adding in more subtle movements.
