Mummy Commando Stance!

[The Anvil]

Hey everyone, now with forge being put on the backbench (if you missed it check out the topic) that gave me an open slot per say. I'm finishing up another of Juniors WIPs, more work is going to be done on my part than there was on Baby, this stance took me absolutly ages to do , i drew it from scratch using the arcade sprite for reference.
I was wondering if anyone could animate this into a stance for me, where his arms move up and down, with some breathing. Legs don't need to move. Credit will be given  . I just can't do the stance animations .

Now that's what I'm talking about! It looks mighty fine.

Hey bro. I tried a quick and easy shot:

It's a good start, it's actually given me a good idea. Thanks

It's what I'm here for.

He cuold move in this stance just like Zantetsu in Last Blade.

Sorry for the bump but just came up with a 1000x better stance idea and decided to hook you up Anvil. Enjoy.

I love the new stance but still needs some work. It MUCH better then the first but there is a major problem.

He's sliding. his front foot shouldn't slide.

Stand up and try that stance your self and you'll see  what i mean.

Alrighty, which is better:

Looking better with the second, it more life like.

If you want to keep the first one tho, to improve it just make it so the left leg (The one in front of him) doesnt slide but instead he leans forward onto it. If you understand what i mean and want to give it a try remember to stand and try it yourself. A human model is the best model when animating humanoid character.

the number 2 is better!

but I think the movement of his head is weird!

agreed

maybe you should make it nod a lil instead.

YEAH! 

[Tenspeed]

the spinning knife is a little too mechanical, with the fact that he always does it on time. I don't know if that makes any sense, but maybe have him bounce a few times and then spin the knife, instead of bounce-spin-bounce-spin, ect like he does now. look at what cable's stance for an example of what I mean.

I kind like 1 a bit more because it's slower, and you would expect that from a undead mummy (thats just redundant).Then again, this mummy is going to be fighting men with spider-like powers, Warriors that launch fireballs out of there hands, and just all around badasses. Still, gotta vote for stance 1. Also, fix that show slide thing.
