Animated Boar for my game! You can check out the wolf (the main character) and some concept art here: http://www.arpgmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=159&t=75968

The demo level for my game is almost complete, and had a great Alpha testing session a couple of weeks ago. One of the things I realized was that I needed a third enemy type to go alongside the other two (a weak spider enemy, and a tough stag enemy). So here is my first attempt at the boar - tougher than a spider, weaker than a stag:

:!: Update :!: Second attempt: improved the snout, added a tail, fitted out with turbo diesel injection.

:!: Update :!: Third attempt: Tail now nailed to the body, and ear movement added.

Would love to hear your comments and critique! I intend to make this game a professional quality platformer, so don't hold back if you think it could do with improvement :cute:

I really dig your style. It's very beautiful. I do feel it's you could could add. Some more animation frames to make it look even smoother. Don't listen to me. I know nothing about drawing.

Hey thanks, Juan! I've made some small improvements, added a tail, and although I didn't add any more frames I sped him up for a similar smoothing effect (I hope!)

The goal is to make him look like a freight train of muscle and tusk. Boars are pretty solid in their movement, with little torso movement, so hopefully the animation conveys that getting hit by this thing is going to hurt.

nice, the second attempt moves very fluently, and the tail moves just right, except for the connection with the back.

Wow, this update shames the first one to a pretty big degree!
I echo what Tomas has said about the tail connection.
And I dunno, but for some reason I feel the ears are unnatural.. I think a slight movement as the head moves, as well as the tail adjustment, would seal this animation as just pure amazing.

Ugh, yeah. Now that I see it...

This is why I love feedback. You guys point out errors that are impossible for me to see given how long I've been staring at my work =P

I'll definitely fix up that tail, and great point about the ears, Xhukari. That will certainly help!

Welcome back, HBGames! Again.

Third update is done. Hopefully the tail looks better now, and I've added some ear movement :heart:

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

That's one definitely perfect. I find nothing wrong with it. It's fluid. It's nice. It's awesome.

Seconded, I cannot see any improvements that could be made.
Amazing work here, dude!
