Comissions in Project X style

« prev 13 in pool next »

Hello all! I want a opinion on this animation for Project X.

Here my FAVORITE CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, the fastest thing alive, father of an whole franchise, and probably the only thing that is keeping that said franchise alive, the videogame icon Sonic The Hedgehog!

As you all know it(if you don't, what you are doing here? XD) Sonic is know for RUNNING, faster than the Speed of Sound if possible( 1,236 kilometres per hour, or 768 mph).

So his running animation is THE most important part of his sprite sheet. I wanted to gave him an mix of Unleashed Trilogy with Sonic X. After a few tries I finally came with this result, and I hope to hear what you guys think about it!

Enjoy!

I use the Image Ready to make the gif, and it's already on the lowest setting. On the game will be faster, believe me XD.

Looks fine to me, not very keen on the Sonic X running style personally but it looks just fine, if I'm to suggest making his quills bounce more!

It's more towards Unleashed/Colors/Generations style than Sonic X to tell the truth. I just copied his expression from Sonic X (fierce and cooky grin).

First I though in using the Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure 2 running style because I like a lot of the running animation on those games, but, I though in using a more modern running style for him.

About the quills, thanks for the suggestion, I will look at it!

You're welcome, hmm... his running looks just like the one from Sonic X with the same 6 frames, in the Advance games his running animation (if I remember correctly) used 8 frames and the design looks different, anyway like I said it looks fine to me this way!

I don't like the Advance ones. Dunno, look weird. He do such tiny paces, don't envoke speed. Also, if I did this anim with 8 frames, would be TOO SLOW. Remember, when you add more frames on something, more slow this thing is, besides being more detaled. This works with the tiny sprites of Advance because they are tiny, the difference is enourmios. If I have dificult of doing the frames looks FASTER with 6 frames, imagine with 8.

I told this is a MIX of Unleashed Trilogy with Sonic X. Project X is based on Sonic X anime, that why I choose to keep this vibe on it, but I wanted a running of Generations style. But saddly, I could not add the blur on the legs.

Like, I played Colors and Generations, and studied his way of move THERE, because there is pretty easier and has A LOT of 2D sections for me to study Sonic body language there. Different of Sonic X, because there is never a good animation of him there running on sideways, so it was just a game of guess with some other anims he did there in different angles.

You seem to forget I do pixel art and animations too, I know more frames = less speed, but this isn't the case in Project X or any other game for that matter, remember this isn't an animated show where frame speed is limited to 25 per second, this is a game you can fast forward any animation you like, Beats of Rage isn't any different, I know, I used it before ;)

Adding the blur effect, hmm... Do you mean the wheel-o-feet effect, the blurry legs effects like in Sonic Heroes cutcenes, or the blue blur around Sonic in Sonic Rush and Generations? I might be able to help you in that (especially now that I got back the computer) but I can't promise it'll look good or not, you may say it'll be a challenge I'd like to take, of course with your approval!

The thing is, ever since Sonic Next Gen (AKA Sonic '06) SEGA been copying from Sonic X, character designs, concepts, plot holes... etc, so it's no surprise his running animation may be similar to that in Sonic X, idk I don't play these games too much to notice as you know, I prefer the older Sonic games myself, not very keen on "HOLD X TO WIN" game style, anyway Sonic X running style kinda bothers me because it looks too jumpy for my taste, I prefer his Sonic CD and Sonic Adventure running style, feet move too fast while body hardly moves, like a ninja =p but I must say aside from the spikes I think you made his running animation look better than Sonic X!

@ sonictopfan

Rush and Generations style of blur. If you are apt to do that, better if I send you the normal size of the sprites. Those are up to 2x to help people see.

Indeed, In fact I do like more the Adventure running as well. But I said, I wanted to make the modern running, to keep on modern terms. Sonic also will have Roger Craig Smith voice. For me he is the best Sonic voice, because he can both act and both do a mature but yet juvenile and cocky voice for him.

Okay, let's not argue the "boost to win" meaning OVER AND OVER like we always do and let's focus on Sonic on PX, to avoid trouble, okay? XD

Sure, also you can try to imitate this http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/sonicrushadventure... they're ripped right from Rush!

I like Roger's voice too, though I liked Jason and Ryan as well, I can't say though that I like Sonic's modern personality anymore though, I liked it in the Adventure games and aside from the romantic part which I hated so much his personality in 06 was just right, reminded me of Sonic CD, so serious yet cocky when the time is right, just perfect!

Right, I'd hate to have to argue again =p looking forward playing with Sonic in the game, you know me a big Sonic fan so I want him and Amy Rose to be best in the game XD

I know, actually you and Zeta and the rest of zeta team are working on new R-engine, saddly reduced the chara for work more speedly,and only when will be complete that maybe add more chara, Zeta clearly said this release is last with all chara available, after this only Zeta,Rouge,Tails and Zu are avalaible, then a stage yes and a stage no will return Amy,Blaze and Cream alternating with others chara until the completion of the game. Sonic will appear surely after the completion i'm sure of this. Anyway you did a good job on Sonic run. Thank you Pen! ^^

I think it looks okay! Maybe he should have a more steady posture like in generations instead of bobbing up and down and more rapid steps. But I dunno his actual speed in the game soooo xD.

The design is great though :3 Though I think Sonic X is a bane on the franchise, the actual sonic design was probably the best: His head wasn't too big, his spines weren't too long and he still had a runner's frame. You captured that perfectly =D

@ LioMynx

He will be faster than Zu, basically the fastest character the game will ever have.... until Shadow cames, that's it. But remember this is a Beat-them-up, so don't expect a neak breaking speed like Sonic games.

I am not a BIG fan of Sonic X either, but I really like it's animation, was good for me.

In generations, if you notice, he does this posture, but his legs has a lot of BLUR, so the effect of blending on them ocult his legs.

I cannot do the blur effect here, saddly. If I could, would look more like Generations.

And thanks!

Well I'm glad I could give you my honest opinion :3 And was that just a tease of a potential new character? ;)
