Flash pr0! Incredible smoothnesss. The idea with having their heads floating in air is very interesting and looks good, but the running animations look rather weird. I know they're running on their toes only, but shouldn't they bend on the ground a bit?

Actually, I didn't use Flash but instead a program called Anime Studio (pic). It's like similar to Flash, but with skeletal strucures and VERY good shape tweens (though the interface is a pain to work with at times, especially if you don't have a TON of experience with things like Illustrator).

As for the feet, I didn't put any bones in them (as you can see in the above screenshot). It was mainly a stylistic choice, though it didn't work as well in some of them (Araches, mainly).

On a side note, before someone brings it up, Araches foot tap was done by tweening the points in her foot, not moving a bone.

Thanks for explaining your process Rad. I've been looking for a program that uses a Skeletal structure, sometimes it's a pain not having one in flash.

Ooh, I like the look of that program, Radium. And good work on the sprites.

The sprites own. I particularly love Fooruman, more than I love any other sprite I've ever seen. You should go sign up for the job search thing I posted in Misc., Radium. There's minimum pay and some decent benefits involved!
