Fenris high & androcosm update (Patreon)

hey peeps, here's some more updates for fenris high and androcosm. We're kinda done with the aesthetic tweaks, and we're ready to start day 1 for good (hopefully?). The school might be a bit too gloomy now , so we'll probably turn the lights on during the day, and turn them off during the night.

Meanwhile , for androcosm i finsihed the animations for the dollmage, only the jumping anims were left so that was quick enough.

now, you might remember his idle poses are all about dancing/ clapping in time of music, and with the name dollmage this implies that he controls some kind of puppet or doll.

so, CGB showed me what these dolls looked like and they're these stone gnome looking fellas-

so , with this helpful sketch in hand i started animating the sprites for this lil guy.

this is the small transition for the "clunk" move

the guideline was to make them dance, but in a robotic, artificial way, this was a challenge but also not that hard as i thought, i just had to keep the poses longer than normal.

this attack for the move was quite interesting, it's almost identical to one of the megaman kicks from marvel vs capcom, i wonder if CGB realized how similar they look, or if he even played the game XD

same thing for the BOMP attack, the transition is even shorter here.

this one was tricky as well, had to accentuate the hip movement quite a bit to get what CGB was looking for XD

aaand the BOMP itself.

the defense movement is a taunt that is like...twerking? but it doesn't look much like that. I wanted to put the guy's hands on his knees but CGB told me not to to avoid messing up the silhouette. The animation is kinda silly this way, but i suppose that was the point all along.

and finally the same thing i started with with this post, the jump and landing. And with this , the little guy is done!

so next up i'll have to do another one of these guys and their silly dances, this one will be called gardnaut, and it'll likely be much bigger and beefier , so i'm looking forward to that-

but that'll have to wait next time. For now i hope you enjoyed this lil bit of extra content, catch you next time peeps!
