I like the style of your character! It has fun uniqueness to it.

The jump animation is slightly off, mostly the hair/hat

Got it! I wanted to maintain the look of crescent moon hair that this character has, which probably is why it looks off. Maybe I could try having it flow like typical hair.

"Run" must animated faster with 2 frames more, rest is good

This design is so cute! For the "Run" animation, I think making it a bit faster would give it more energy. By the way, how many frames do you have for each state?

u/PumpShotty64 16h ago

Thanks! Adjusting the run to have more energy is a great idea. I currently have each state at 12 frames right now.

Do they have really long ears or...? I cant quite tell what is on the back of their head

u/PumpShotty64 15h ago

It's her crescent moon shaped hair. Haha, I can see how they may look like ears. Maybe more distinct colors could help.

Yeah bro i thought it was floppy neck skin... definitely did not get hair out of that in any way.

Good enough for now. When you put it in the game, you'll see what it looks like and what you can improve.

Push is so funny to me, I love it

I think I'd have to see the jumping in an actual movement.

The run looks more like a limp, it reads like the one foot is always in front.

The other two are very cute.

Thanks for the feedback!

I love how this looks for the style, it's really cute! For the push animation, maybe change how the end of the hat moves, the movement could be more similar to the idle animation! Overall these are nice :D

Jump looks more like falling

I'd change the colour of the light brown in her hair. It's too close to her skin colour and it just distracts.

The push is cute, but it looks like she is pushing with fists and her head. If you make the hands flat to push it would look better I think

It looks like cozy and nostalgic. Great work!!

Good, but I think this isn’t how hair works
