Starting a series need opinions

[NoMonitorCat]

I've decided that I am going to make a series that is based on violence (Madness Combat, Bunny Kill, etc) But I am adding a whole lot of different angles and close ups that are not seen in any other violent flash. Some parts the characters might have full arms and legs and up to full detail for mission briefing, chat, whatever. In the action parts my main character looks like this. Please tell me what you think (I tried my hardest to not make it exactly like Madness Combat but wanted the arm and leg style from it.

I think before you make a series, you should probably practice animating and drawing some more, thats what i am working on right now, because i am planning on making a series named "sparky and spaz"

[JonSock]

it looks like it would make a good series tho, and the drawing looks great

[The-Scourge]

your going to get this grouped as copying madness combat unless you try harder to refine your design. Maybe put color in at least so you don't copy the oh so popular gray-scale theme.

How about you come up with your own animation style instead of a rip off of madness.
Just sayin.
Honestly, if i saw this on the board, i would not watch it cuz of its resemblence.
Opinion.

Agreed.
But try to also make him a little different. I'm guessing the original creator isn't very good at fullbody or fbf. maybe work on his design make it better?
Idk. Anyway don't take his guns that's cheating get cooler guns have one symbol the Machine gun we will say and another symbol of it shooting with a muzzle flair and then swap them at times of shooting :)
hope that helps. Also make premade bullet holes. and don't tween. Move the peices around to make it look human -ish instead of a walking cycle where his feet slide back and forth.

Sparky and Spaz? I am not saying this to be mean but already it sounds awful. Let me guess they are total opposites in the personality department? It reminds me of a radio program here in Denver called Slacker & Steve... its awful. Unless you can write excellent comedy i would stay away from the title being Sparky & Spaz. Just my opinion though.

As for the original post. I agree with everyone else here. STAY AWAY from the madness style. ALL of it, the grey color scheme. The floating limbs. Create your own characters. I mean really the kill bunny movies could easily be madness movies if your slapped the backgrounds with gray and switched the bunnies to madness guys. All you really nee to do is create your own breed of characters like the bunny movie guy did for his series.

Yeah a bit way too close to madness series.
But hey, I commend your efforts for trying to break out of the madness/bunny kill box.
Just try harder a bit ^^ Try to make your characters and backgrounds less madness inspired.
Like... use a lot less shades of grey. Or best, don't use shades of grey on anything but weapons.
