NOTICE: The loading bar should appear after a good few seconds I hope. I haven't figured out how to preload a preloader. If anything goes wrong, like the loading just doesn't happen, let me know. (If all else fails, you can watch ithere as a mov file)
Took a break from the side scrolling to do some character animating.
I think I went overboard, i'm pretty sure the file size is a little on the huge side. Gonna try and tone it down for any future flash animations.
Obviously this guy was partly pried from this earlier DAC I did this with a some sort of platformer-shoot 'em up in mind.
I definitely prefer the slower version you have in the vimeo video, the flick of the gun and the leg in this one is a little difficult for me to follow. Maybe it needs one more frame of transition between the knee being bent and the leg straightening? I'm not sure, it'd be a shame to lose the exaggeration. Obviously it goes without saying that it looks lovely though.
I love the hat-bob!
