This is because of the force of forward motion.Crunchy wrote:I have a comment about the tail as well. I actually like the tail, but what strikes me odd about it is that it is not being pulled down by gravity, yet it appears to be limp.
However if we apply that it wouldn't be bent so I dunno.
It looks beautifully ugly imho.

It's been a while...
Today I had a couple of spare minutes and a sudden urge to draw mud:

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
This makes me want to rework the sprite into something that actually looks good...

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
Texture, lighting, beautiful. I like the stringy bits, they work quite well. The only thing II don't like are the eyes but a lot of people would probably disagree.
My spritework can be seen here.

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
It looks nice, but it does not look like the unit I was imagining for the mudcrawler, more like a "mud golem". (The concept of the mudcrawler could be changed, though.)

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
Good to hear from you again. There might something weird about his arm/appendage, but then mudcrawlers aren't supposed to be humanoids and this disturbing feeling of something inuman might be just what we're looking for.

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
Our mudcrawlers hardly crawl at the moment (this one at least looks like it could drag it's body along whilst the current sprite looks like it'd move more like a slug than a crawler).
What I would worry about slightly is this guy being mistaken for a Troll of some sort, especially with the red eyes.

Heh, Well the leveled up form of mud-crawler isn't all that great...
Mud-Crawler > Giant Mud-crawler *gasp*
Maybe you could change it to like a Mud-Walker...

Now you mention it though, there is an air of family.

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
I just have to try making a sprite for this guy. Awesome portrait, kitty.
As a side note, perhaps a design similar to kitty's portrait would work better for the mudcrawlers than the current one (should that unit line ever get revised)... it's much more intimidating, imo.

Re: Kitty's random stuff: Mudcrawler
Aww, dammit.
I might do some fiddling to make it look meaner and to better match eleazar's new dirt, but otherwise that looks cool. I'll make a mud glob up and get them animated at some point.
Probably it will need shrinking a good deal, since it's only a l1 unit.
Kitty: can you provide a help-sized version for committing please?
