Gundam seed side story game (looking for second artist)

[ydawg314]

as I have written in the games section of the forum i am making a new gundam game howeever I now need help finding some animation example that i can work off of.

One animation I need is a walking and running cycle. Can alone help me find some good ones? Google has been failing me today.

[young_oldtype]

Like walking and running leg animation? I can probably make one if I'm in the mood.

[Seraphic]

When Google fails, one should learn new words. The word of the day is:

Mechanics.

Results:
Walking.
Running.
Running again.
Dynamic running.

Also, use youtube instead of Google. I'm a bit of a cheater. =o Physics vocabulary. =p Oldtype, walking and running MUST involve more than just the legs. Animation looks really stiff and unnatural otherwise. Remember that one! =)

[ydawg314]

ok but I really need a gif animation or at least a quicktime file of an animated walk. I have already seen the first tutorial you brought up but that kind of walk really wont be suitable for a mobile suit, which is what I am having trouble finding.

this is the best one ive found so far I think.

and then this one for a smaller frame body

Actually those might be fine for now but if you guys see anything better let me know

[ydawg314]

in case anyone is wondering what i am doing...
I am using these animation gifs and mov files to make my own animations for bone structures kind of in the way 3d animators using mocap suits for 3d animations.

PICTURE!

[ydawg314]

So I tried to draw out what I wanted the first level of my game to look like. It is going to take place in the middle east.

Level One concept art

I tried to capture that anime feel but I don't think I really succeeded. Can you guys give me advice. This is pretty much my first attempt at something like this.

If it doesn't work out I will just my the whole game in my own style.

the background is going to be made up of 4 layers

Nice background.

I remember the view in your previous game was from above. Will this new one be a side scroller or 3d?

[Strike_Rouge_Mk2]

I remember seeing this one GIF of the Sword Calamity Gundam running nonstop if that's the type of thing you're looking for. I'll probably have to go around to find it again though.

thanks
this game will be a side scroller

if you could that would be very helpful

[ydawg314]

im looking for an artist!

[Strike_Rouge_Mk2]

Uhm. What kind of artist? If its some lineart styles and topdown views, I could prolly do it for you.

[ydawg314]

well I am making a side scroller shooter... It will look kind of like gundam battle assault for the playstation

style examples
gundam
zaku
I guess they don't have to be that good. If you saw my work in grunt wars you will know the kind of style I can do. My point in showing these pictures is that, that is what I want my game to be similar too.


Would you be able to draw gundam seed mobile suits in this way? They would have to be draw in pieces

• head
• foot
• etc

I would need suits such as:

• ginn
• ginn_orcher
• strike dagger

I am currently making the animations

[Strike_Rouge_Mk2]

So.. I make parts and you animate them? That's easy enough But I'm not sure though. I might help if I know what I'm supposed to do. Side scrolling art might be easy if I tried, but clean up and detailing( like the examples you gave me ) would be up to someone else. I'm not too color friendly.

[ydawg314]

well would you be able to do the line art for each piece? I could handle the coloring and shading

[Strike_Rouge_Mk2]

Well yeah I love doing Lineart style mecha not so good at dynamic poses right now anyways xD But I was asking sorta where am I drawing from? Like a regular lineart like on MAHQ or what? I'm just confused as to what I'm going to be drawing. (I'm thinking a lineart that represents the side view?)

yeah

so like for strike dagger

you would take all the parts and draw them from a side perspective. So the mobile suit ,when I put all the pieces together, will look 2D. All I want you to do it to take the mahq linearts break them up into parts(head,L_shoulder,L_wrist,l_hand,waist,bust,etc) and then convert them to a side perspective.

[Strike_Rouge_Mk2]

K, I'll start, but I'll have to wait before my friend gets back so I can use his scanner.

[ydawg314]

Awesome

here is a list of the parts I will need
head
upper torso(chest area+im but sure if it should include cockpit region)
lower torso(waist area)
backpack+thruster

left leg flap (armor in front which covers left leg joint )
left side flap (armor to the left side which covers left leg joint )
left upper leg
left lower leg
left foot

right leg flap
right side flap
right upper leg
right lower leg
right foot

right shoulder
right upper arm
right lower arm
right hand

left shoulder
left upper arm
left lower arm
left hand

If you have any questions let me know.
if you can do this I will include you in the game credits as the artist

[Strike_Rouge_Mk2]

I just need the list of needed mecha, cause you know, you don't want me drawing right flap parts of anything I see xD

[ydawg314]

lol ok

well right now like I said before I wanted to start with (listed in order of priority):
strike dagger
ginn
ginn orcher
cgue
