Description Finally something moving!
I've animated this turnaround to have a reference of all angles for him. Notice that I changed the design yet again but I'm really content with it now.

It is more a technical thing, thats why I chose this very stiff and lifeless pose that can be flipped. It was pretty difficult to do this without any 3D model and the animation is far from perfect, but it serves as a good reference still which was the point of this practice.

Its 9 individual (16 in total) frames @ 12fps

Just saying, listening to yoshi's island music and running into this was a very fitting combo.

This is so perfectly done, It almost looks like a real 3d model here. Just... WELL DONE!

This is awesome. It's really cool to see the work behind the finished products (all cleanly lined, colored, and bg'ed)

Wow, tht's a neat turn around.
But is it reallythat useful to do 3x more poses than needed?

thazumi In reply to LackeDragon [2013-09-29 12:39:16 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand what you mean with 3 times more?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LackeDragon In reply to thazumi [2013-09-29 13:11:14 +0000 UTC]

For example, in animation classes here, we were told we only need 4 poses : Front, profile, 3/4 front, 3/4 back

thazumi In reply to LackeDragon [2013-09-29 13:51:04 +0000 UTC]

You usually doing 4-6 views is enough that is true.

But I simply wanted to see it animated to have a better understanding in a 3D room and as 3D model. I don't have the possibilites to build him in a 3D program or sculpting.

Also it was practice.
