let me sketch it up
It should look a little like he has boxes on his shoulders- I'll show what ODST suits look on people in real life as well.


Obviously it would be hard to turn something with a torso into something to cover someone who's torso is the width of thier limbs but oh well.
Here you go- a little demo and if anyone takes the challenge I will give them the images and flash file for edit.

How do you do spoilers?

THEN maybe upload

It is choppy in the beginning due to the double frame right before the kick. I would say take off the DF for now. His attacks are extremely stop & go due to over easing after every attack, I also use to do this too and I think the stop & go attacks can also be used as a style for some people if you prefer it. I don't like the crack back on the first kick, maybe its a pet peeve. His legs don't really lift to show hes moving because they are too close to the ground, lift them up a bit to show hes moving because right now it looks like sliding to me. Fix the second punch and by that I mean the double frame on the hit frame it also gives the impression of choppiness. The last punch doesn't have as much force as the other attacks, I would say if you add some resistance to the attack like a snap punch it would show force. A snap punch is after you hit something your arm comes back to you a bit and doesn't stay in the air like the punch you did. Finally add some easing at the end when he stands up so people don't think he just stopped abruptly.

Overall, the anim is awesome and I don't see the resizing problem that sometimes appears. :3 I feel like a teacher :{^

We've lost an important animator, Eternity. Luccasbode has left Planet Earth. Stone is organizing a memorial service collab to pay respect to him and his family.

Yeah, I saw he died from multiple organ failure and I was surprised. He was probably our best 3D type animator on FA and SP.

~He will be dearly missed Rip Luccasbode~

Alright, Patt, but let me look over this. It might take a while to make the armor, but okay. How do you want it to look; stance, background, gun type, etc.

not the whole thing- his "skin" color is the armor itself- I just want some layering, like as if he has padding on in the certain parts.

An image of him standing in stance as if he was looking intensely past the camera(no eyes or helmet unless you thing it will really look good- I don't like helmets)

And if you can- an upward shot as if he were standing over the camera(finisher shot)

The gun would be on his back so you don't need it and i will easily put it in.

god damnit, i just got on today looking for something exciting and i find out that luccas died. Shit, it seems all animators who make something amazing die soon after they create something amazing
