Stick Jedi Fight :: Pixel Art Detail

I'm really not sure if I have to answer it since I can't find any constructive criticism on your comment, but I believe that there are some wrong thought you had about the others' opinion.

First of all, as long as I know, there are plenty of people here on PJ that are not experienced enough to rate some works, which turns them to choose their 'favorite' just by their likeness. That's not wrong, it's unavoidable in a community this big. However, I also believe these people, specifically here on PJ, have common sense.

About the animation, it's defintely short, but look again. In a hypothetical situation, you make a spritesheet for the entire animation. You would see how complex it is, pratically one different pose by frame, I can tell this. I could use the same sprites just to make it longer. Would it make it better? Add, like, three more backflips with four more of every move they make? It's just like making an army in pixel-art: copying and pasting over and over. If that's your concept of a good work, I'll have to bare with it =/

About WaterCloset's opinion, it's totally OK, he's not out of his mind. See, the animation is short, but it undeniably has a fast pace. Fast pace scenes usually tickle one's feelings, don't you think? Other than that, it's still his opinion, and it's not just a baseless opinion.

Dinky Little Stickman animations are not hard to make, I have to agree. One can easily open Newgrounds and see that it's true. But you can count on your hands fingers, based on when they were made, the ones that are really good. You can see that the rest are jaggy and uncreative animations. Also, I strongly believe that you know the difference between the hard work you have in Pixel Art and the one in Vector Art/Illustration in Flash. IMO, Xiao Xiao's animations are the best. But hey, he made them on Flash, which is fairly easier to make frames for the character's movements. Here, I had to place every pixel of the stickmen in the right place, worrying to not make them look stiffy. That creates quite a gap between the techniques.

I hope that's enough to clear your mind about my work and its repercussion. I just don't want to start another discussion based on someone's individual opinion ;)

I don't think that enough people on here know enough about animation to crit stuf like this. It's definitely overrated. The animation is farly fluid, but come on, it's short, and they're tiny stickmen. And WaterCloset, you must be out of your mind!

"Love the emotion" Emotion? EMOTION? It's a little "fight". Between two stickmen. Everybody is so stunned by this, but dinky little stickmen fights really aren't that hard to make.

I have to agree with 7even. I much prefer cool fluid pixel animation to complex photorealistic pieces. Dont get me wrong I can see the skill involved, I just dont see the point in spending sooo much time when it could be done much faster using filters etc.

Nuss...... daora em

soh tenho 1 pixel art.... se vc kiseh comenta lah

Oh...my...gosh...

I love it! The flow of the animation is perfect!

Soooo smoooooooooth.

That's impressive.

Use the splash of light technique Blick suggested and this is incredible. The animation is wonderfully smooth, i'm especially keen on the collision part. 5* for the animation. You may even get a fav from me.

Dude thats pro !

Awesome animation by all the sides
