Elvish units

[Elvish_King]

Here is the range attack. I really hope it is the last one. (How many attack animations drew I ? )

That's why animators usually use simple shapes to block out their animations and get feedback before they draw all the details.

Here is the new melee attck animation including vyncyn's suggestions:

Now no time to fix the afterimage bug of the staff, please don't mentioned this.


I also want to redo the huntsman because it wasn't so unique and looked a bit odd.
Does anybody have an idea?

The afterimage in the animation should show while the staff swing, so it be in frame 2 and 3 (i think) and be more transparent, just take look at some mainline units.
If you want to change the huntsman i would suggest to move his right arm, so the sword doesn't overlap with the body. If you want to redo it completly, a different pose might make it more unique(for example let his upper body or feet face a bit more sidewards).

Yesterday I didn't had the time to fix the afterimage, I knew that it was wrong.

Hope you like it.

It looks more similiar to an idle anim, not attack

[Ravana]

I can guess what should be there as I have had some training with that type of weapon, but there should be more frames, currently it jumps too much.

[Elvish_King]

I know that the animation jumped to much but if you take the speed in the game it looks ok I think.

[Ravana]

With this speed it is much better.

I like both new versions more.

It's been a whie since I posted here. Now I have made an animation for the Elvish Hunter. It is already used in my era but I wanted to hear your feedback.
