HK Harvesting Crops

[Makio-Kuta]

I tried to make an HK sprite pulling crops from the ground. This is just one frame of four, I intend to finish the others. I know it's not spectacular or anything, but I did my best. Once it's finished, anyone can use it, so long as you credit me. (and Tana and Show Kazier)

The head is from Tana's giant male pose sheet.

C&C would be awesome. I know it has some mistakes that need to be ironed out. :thumb:

[Makio-Kuta]

Looks just great to me. There's one small thing, try having the hand grip the opposite side of the carrot. That might look better.

Played a bit more with this the other night. Still not fully happy yet, but I think it's getting closer. n.n'
Here's an animated gif:

@Lei: No problem. XD
@Chiyo Osaka: Hmm...thanks for the suggestion. I'll certainly give it a try!

teh awesome!!!!!!!!

Hmm.. it seems a bit unnatural or robotic..I think his body should raise every time he puts a carrot away, and then lowers again when he plucks . just slightly, you know?

or maybe the knees should bend.

I'm specifically an animator so i can help you out here but this is what you need to do to your animated version.

Bend the legs slightly, Lower back and head and make the arm holding the bag and the bag itself come down when he reaches for one....it all needs to have motion...those are the main three points.

I think i shall make a tutorial on animating basics.

@Showkaizer, sasuke89 and L: What? You mean carrots don't magically levitate out of the ground and into your hands? n.n' But really...I see what you're all saying. I'll try to play with it a bit more tonight after work. Thanks for the input.

@L: Thanks for the tips. n.n That tutorial would be interesting. <.< XD

Actually Tana already wrote quite an in depth animation tutorial..though I have no Idea what happened to it ^_^;
