Hey #ScreenShotSaturday! Meet Schnorr, the 2nd enemy i designed for Enuan's Path. It's still WIP but here's a gif of all the move animation i did for him these past days. Next i'll write the code for that little gawk

Can't really show much this #screenshotsaturday since i'm busy with wall-jump coding but here's a platform i drew this week.

STEP 5: Detailing
The most rewarding step: Dust and stones to show how long since this thing was last used, some light to show how the orbs you fed the machine now activate it. A cascade of other things will activate around you now but I haven't gotten to animate that yet.
5/5
STEP 4: Texturing
No actually THIS is the most tedious step. It's super boring, just trace details of each component - redraw them at different locations. In game the animation will play only once and is designed so that you can't take all of it in anyway. I had no fun here
4/5
STEP 3: Blocking
This was the most tedious step. Rotating shapes is tough and all these arms have non trivial forms. If I rush this step the rigid parts will look wobbly when moving around which would break the illusion.
3/5
STEP 2: Guidelines
Here I sketch out the animation in simple-to-draw guides and imagine how the final product would look. The various apparatus in that area need a unifying style in how they look AND how they move. The movement style i wanted to go for was "complicated".
2/5
some ancient technology little Enu can reactivate in the game i'm developing.

@LadyMistLeaf I thought that too! But in reality everytime i draw something new it starts out looking like shit. Every time i finish a cool looking character the first version of the next character will look horrible again. It's not even a rough sketch i often really can't do any better...
I should be working. instead I'm doing this the whole day :(
