Description
Mr. Sniper is only about 3/8-way there. Gonna delete this once the sheet is completed unless someone gets value out of a full-scratch demo.

[babble]
-48x48 px

Animation Process:
-Started with two desired poses (CRIT and IDLE). CRIT was unfinished because I wasn't sure if a certain motion was going to end up putting his foot or whatnot in a different spot (and cloaks/capes always gives me trouble).

-Cheated and used computer's rotation to get desired rifle movement

- Placed reference pixel and tweened/copy-pasted his head.

- Placed reference pixels (knees->elbows->waist->L-hand->feet) to anchor what sort of movement I wanted for each joint (arcing [elbow, orange leg] or sliding motion [hip, head, pink leg]).
That orange slap for his hand is because I wanted the rifle to drop via gravity on a foward animation, and snap back by a hand motion on reverse.

- Checked both 1-2-3-4 and 1-2-3-4-3-2 cycles for smoothness (pretty much constantly).

- *currently* Filling in main forms with single distinct color.
The pink foot reference point seems off right now based on the way the knee moves, but might still be OK.
Also looks like I will have to change the base idle animation since the rifle's magazine should be lower than where it is (that square on the rifle right above his hand is mistake since he's gripping the rifle where the magazine really is.).

- From there I'll save a copy and do the same sort of process for the cloak, then the same thing for the regular ATK.

-Actual attack animation for both is going to be pretty minimal, since it's a sniper. Gun-twirling and a massive recoil seems more a pistol/cowboy thing.

[end babble]

Q's:
- Laser or bullet? Current plan was to use a laser-charging action to make the critical look critical, and use a bullet on the regular ATK so someone change it to their liking.
- Never did a mod before but would like this to be a resource, so are there any limits I need to follow? Any change requests?
-Any comments / anything else?
