Check out their work!
I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with them and make the squares dance.

Sharing my modular animation process in bringing large detailed sprites to life. This time I'm redrawing the sprite to make more complex animations than simple idle loops.

Step 1
Blocking out and redrawing the sprite. Maintaining the object space and mass is easier this time as the sprites angular design works with pixels better than the Sherman.

Step 2
Filling the gaps of the sprite and adding the details inside the knee joint.

Step 3
Lastly all the secondary movement, matching the physics of the chains and SFX of the cannon.
