anime style character for 2D game

Hello!

One of my friend is working on a 2D game and he asked me to creat and animate a character for his game. I have thought about it instead of designing 3D model and taking some shots as if it is 2D, I have built it as layer but I am concerned about the animation espeically for the hands.

Here is my first try, inspired by an anime character “Dazai” from straydogs.


Sounds like an interesting approach to take on such a project. I really like the guy’s design. He kinda reminds me of the Doctor from Doctor Who.

If you’re concerned about animating 2D flat planes, you could probably get away with using 3D models for some parts like the hands if you stick with the shadeless texture you have there.

I am happy for your feedback :o +I am really thankful for your advice about 3D modeling some of the parts.I used it with the hands, it works really great.


Now it is time to animate some of the actions :slight_smile:
