At first, I wanted to train myself in character animations. But I didn't feel like working on a simple character without any background.
As I also aimed to present a 2D action game concept at work, I started to work on characters (there are five of them) environnements, story, and even HUD :D
And so I animated everything... background elements, interface, fx and finally... characters :D


The animations in this quick sequence are stand, walk and first attack

A fine looking work-in-progress, Sev. :D

Like I said with your artwork, the 2D visuals are spectacular. I admire how you've animated the lightning flashes into the demo's background. Even more so, the way in which the ground's plant life waves and buckles really implements the whole 'windy' effect that you're evidently going for, and it breathes some life into the scene.

I reckon the animation in the foreground involving the blowing weeds/grass could be improved or polished up a little, since the illustrations you've used for them appear to be just skewing from side to side. I know it's a minor nitpick, but the blades of grass and their movements could be made more lifelike and would credit your magnificent art more too.

That said, the protagonist's movements look pretty darn legit at the moment and I compliment the way you've animated her hair so far and her bodily actions in general. The animations for the collection of the...er...sparkling emerald triangular crystals are pretty neat too.

After I was blinded by your tribal-looking monster with his staff, I squinted at my screen and noticed the title. 'The Extraordinary Theorem' sounds very imaginative and mystical, may I add.
I look forward to the finished game. I also have to design some side-view battles for a uni project. Wish me luck on drawing characters from a side perspective. :L
Keep it up!

4.5 / 5

Sev4 responds:

Thanks a lot for encouraging me ^^ I hope the second part of this project will not take as much time!

This looks amazingly promising. I hope you get to publish the game (either here or anywhere else). The artwork and the character look amazing. Keep it up!

Sev4 responds:

Thanks! I hope the other characters will be as good ^^

We are getting somehwere, it has nice art and so, but lacks fluidity; although it's a game and some "stifness" might be concealed, to make it a good and modern-standard animation, it needs more movement, hair and shadow tircks might be innexpensive and useful, another layer with particles may be?

Good job.

Sev4 responds:

That's right in games we sometimes skip transition between moves and that's really missing here. I'll do my best to improve this (and to add a few fx I forgot ^^) and make the next video better!
Thank you for your advices!

Looks Great. Smooth animation, backgrounds are beautiful. Character shown here looks very well done. Look forward to seeing what comes of this little gem. Since it is only a demo vid, is why gave 3 stars. Has potential to go even higher I feel. Keep it up.

Sev4 responds:

Thanks^^
I'll try to upload the next step soon!
