simple yet amazing

Queen of the Hill
The background took longer to put together than the actual character :')
I feel like a lot of the things I put together qualify as animations but not quite, what would you call this? A dynamic background/wallpaper? Hmmmmmmmm
Either way, sorry if anyone's annoyed by my classification of this as animation. If it makes you feel better it CAN be made to move more. Almost every character like this that I've been together is rigged together to be animated, anyone with the file and the right software could 'animate' with it
I make the things I make more to showcase the art/rigging aspect than the animation.
Also I realised I can add pictures, so here's the original sketch!
Oh it's you again, I'm glad to see you took on my advice on adding more details to your character.She looks quite nice, and a distinctive design. Two criticisms though. One she could use more lines on the dress's lower part, it feels very flat. Two, she lacks shading, and I think some solid shading could really help her stand out and make the darkness from the mushroom stand out, contrasting well. The background's also nice, though you need to work on it's shading as well. It's so subtle that it's barely there at all.
You did well though, I'm glad you're improving your craft, you should share this on twitter mate.

It is indeedy
Yeah a line or two would have been good, I just didn't really know where to place them without ruining it. Kinda the same with shading, it's never been my strong suit, but I'll work on it. There are some gradient effects in there, and I put some blue glowy effects along the edge of her hair/cap/body, might've made it too subtle haha. My only main regret is forgetting to shade the backs of the stones.
Slowly but surely :P
It's on there! Give me a follow so I can follow you back. I only really use Newgrounds for uploads, it'd be nice to have somewhere to keep proper track of you on!
I think it's animation. It's just subtle. This style is cool, if you got more actions going I think it would be really great. And sound :).
wOOtist responds:
Good to hear I'm not cheating by tagging it as that haha
Thanks! Actions can be a bit awkward with Character Animator which is why I never really 'do' a whole heap with the designs I've rigged. As for sound, I just kinda forgot... :P
If you wanna see my style 'in action', check out 'Fleye' and 'It Witch Weeps' on my profile, I put a lot more time into the behaviour and sound for those two; the sound for It Witch Weeps is probably the most complicated soundscape I've put together as of yet
