What program do you use for spriting and animating Shook?
I'm using GraphicsGale to set up the frames, and then i export them as individual images (free edition can't export gifs), AND THEN i then use GIMP to piece the animation together.
As for animating fast motions, i've found that surprisingly many people tend to make too small movements when animating, so it ends up fluid but slow. Depending on the actual speed of the depicted motion, you can make astoundingly large movements in a single frame, i.e. you could get away with making the swinging part of a sword strike in 1-3 frames, depending on your frame rate. For the golems ground pounds at 20 FPS though, i'd probably not go below 5 frames if one is to keep a sense of mass. I don't want to steal your thunder here, so i'm just gonna go ahead and fast-ify my own fist thing:
Also sprite sheet for clarity. This is obviously not perfect at all, but it serves the purpose; notice how the hand snaps from top to bottom in one frame, whereas raising the clearly obviously super massive fist again takes up most of the animation.

Stay tuned!Sprite update
All comments and new ideas are welcomed!

Also i love what you're doing with the golem, looks very nice! My only nitpick is that it could use some more delicious contrast. I know all too well that the smoother look is tempting, but trust me, you'll be surprised at how much nicer it looks with more contrast in the shading. :v (example from DeviantArt, notice the huge difference between light and shadow)

various places to find me lol

OK~
New stuff!Sorry, i didn't make new sprites
I ran out of idea, and I'm quite busy with schoolwork n stuff
so... I made these sketches during lesson (yes, sry) for concept of upcoming creature
Oh my, thank you
this is really helping you know
Here's a little gift for your trouble buddy c:
Also, i did this by applying your theory on faster movement
No actual fish were wasted, only pixels
c:
Yeah i noticed that :v
I'm following this tutorial for reference
Also, i've been struggling for a decision for a quite long time
Is it worth to make a DA acc? those pros scare amateur like me :<
New stuff!
Polishing old sprites!

nice nice nice, the goblin looks a whole lot better now it's been polished and goddamn animated shook is pretty cool.
if you want to make a deviant account, you can, there'll be the people which will be constructive and will like to help, and there may be eejits who do stupid stuff, but, hey it's worth a try right?
