Well, I always liked to draw but kinda sucked at it. Spriting is better for me :D

Yeah, we could make a game like worms but it would have bunnies. I would give points to anyone who made it :)

Remind me again why most of the recent topics have gone off topic about bunnies? :|

@Jag: So about the book, maybe you could post some of the other cycles for everyone to see :D

Well, here's a couple more walk cycles.

Four Legged Example:

Here's a more interesting one, front and rear examples of a walk cycle.
Image

This one is quite important. Any punching, throwing, slapping, or any animation for that matter, should follow the line of action for a more effective result.
Haha, look at how wimpy the first punching frame looks. The second one is clearly more effective!

Hmm, I wonder if there's a bunny animation loop. :lol:

I am no artist, it amazes me that people can draw, much more animate. I just don't understand how it is possible to make moving not look dumb, oh well. :|

Sounds like me. When I first started drawing, I sucked even more than I do now (which is really hard to imagine haha^^). But the point is, It takes time and practice before you can get good at something. I still suck but I'm getting better every day. Just keep trying and you'll find that drawing is easier than it seems :wink:
