Re: Armageddon Drake
Sounds good. I think I'm glad I changed the defense though--the Inferno's felt like a lot of wimpy ducking for such a huge and powerful unit.thespaceinvader wrote:Defence looks good. For the rest, I HIGHLY advise you to just clone the existing animations. It will make life MUCH easier.

Re: Armageddon Drake
Feel free to backport, if you're feeling really enthusiastic - some of the drake animations are fine, but could be polished further.

Fully colored defense animation. Sorry about my slow pace.

Re: Armageddon Drake
Lookin' awesome. You probably know this already, but I just thought I'd point out that the shadow for the baseframe needs to be added.

Thumbs up, looks faultless to me.

Re: Armageddon Drake
About the defense animation: The only critique that I could give it would be that the horn on his left side almost seems to bend. I guess it's because his right horn is pointing straight in the last frame and the left horn is rather bent towards the right side. O, well, just a nit-pick.
About the attack animation: Looks great to me!

Re: Armageddon Drake
Yeah - this is because the point of the horn on OUR right/HIS left doesn't move at all on at least one of the frames. It should.Telaron wrote:About the defense animation: The only critique that I could give it would be that the horn on his left side almost seems to bend.

Re: Armageddon Drake
It will, when it's finished.
A-Red: if it's not too much trouble, can I suggest a tiny modification - put dots of TC into the eyes of the skull on the breastplate - this was done for the Enforcer, and it looked really good to me.

Re: Armageddon Drake
I added the tc eyes--here's the defense animation with the fixes suggested by tsi and telaron. Next up is the fire attack.

Re: Armageddon Drake
How about larger horns?
Like these:
They're not -that- different, but the current ones look smalled than Inferno's

Re: Armageddon Drake
Current base frame seems fine to me - the horns are proportional. Thanks anyway, though.

Re: Armageddon Drake
Fire attack.
Is it committable with these three animations? It now fits standards for most units, but to match the other drakes it still needs the south-facing fire frames, plus takeoff and flight. I'm getting a little sick of working on this guy though, honestly, and it would be nice to be able to put him down for awhile. Let me know--I'll keep going if I have to.
