I think this goes into the right direction but the "blur" itself should probably have a lower opacity in contrast to the axe, so that you can easier differentiate between blur and axe itself. Right now it looks more as if the axe evolves into a huge scythe. Maybe its also just me.

OK, so I fixed the axe blur, and I also did the up slash, that do you think?

I personally liked the blur with the colouration of the axe more, as it seems more realisitc to me. I just meant that the structure of the axe itself should be more in the focus. So instead of a big blur, I meant a clearly visible axe with a blur behind it in the colour of the axe. But this version looks also pretty nice. Maybe you should wait for the other opinions to. Or what do you think? :)

I didn't have any problem reading the colored blur as the axe in motion- I think Link's sword swing is this way, right? That'd probably be a good reference for how Nintendo makes the motion blur of an attack work.

Also, it seems strange to me that the Iron Knuckle is swinging his head around with his attack. Like, usually when you swing a sword or baseball bat or whatever you look at what you're trying to hit, you don't just follow the end of the bald with your eyes. I think when Link attacks, he keeps his head forward in the direction he's attacking, right?

Anyway, overall this dude looks sweet, great job guys! Also, have we considered how the armor falling off will work? Is it like, every hit/magnetic glove use a piece falls off, which would probably be a lot of animations or piecing the enemy together from different objects or something, or are we gonna do like Majora's mask, where each hit you see an animation of some armor getting destroyed, but it all falls off at once, or in two stages? Probably good to lock that down, it looked like there were four or five armor stages back a while ago.

Looks really nice!  My suggestion though (and I know this is a bit of a pain, so it's up to you if you want to do it) is to have the blur throughout most of the swing animation instead of just 2 frames.  Otherwise it's gonna look like a blip instead of a smooth blur

since his helm won't fall off there are max. 3 Stages:

- Full Armor
- Chopped Horns
- Chopped Horns + Undergarment

in MM were Full and Chopped + Underg.

My new Version only had those two differences since the bulky head looks strange with the old body when there are no shoulderpads

Actually I inspired this from OoT, he turns his head and body to slash, so its not the same as with a sword, since it is way heavier and requiere much more strenght.

Did a little bit of research... I might have made a mistake.

I didn't have any problem reading the colored blur as the axe in motion- I think Link's sword swing is this way, right? That'd probably be a good reference for how Nintendo makes the motion blur of an attack work.

Also, it seems strange to me that the Iron Knuckle is swinging his head around with his attack. Like, usually when you swing a sword or baseball bat or whatever you look at what you're trying to hit, you don't just follow the end of the bald with your eyes. I think when Link attacks, he keeps his head forward in the direction he's attacking, right?

1. Yes, Link's sword does have a bit of a motion blur when he swings it. Also when he's using the Spin Blade technique. HOWEVER, as far as I have been able to observe, none of the large grunt enemies (Darknuts, Keatons, Moblins) use motion blurs for their attacks. In fact, only Link's sword swing has an effect even remotely resembling a motion blur, with the one exception (maybe) of the Darknut's stab-and-twist attack.

2. Well, kinda. See attached image. From the one angle we can tell (facing south), he actually seems to keep his eyes on his target. But he does turn his head.

My suggestion though (and I know this is a bit of a pain, so it's up to you if you want to do it) is to have the blur throughout most of the swing animation instead of just 2 frames.  Otherwise it's gonna look like a blip instead of a smooth blur

I'd suggest this, but then again, there is no motion blur found in a bunch of MC-styled foes. However, the Iron Knuckle's insta-kill-if-you-are-doing-a-3-heart-run axe attack can be made an exception. As a general animation rule of thumb, a one-frame motion blur is supposed to basically resemble a very fast motion since you have to flatten every tween into one frame. For the Iron Knuckle we want an attack that connotes more strength than speed, right? So if the motion blur were spread out to two, three, maybe four frames, that would do it.

I was telling him about how this project [KOT] has worked, lurching along for years and drawn by different people from across the globe, and he thought it was beautiful. And he was right, it's awesome. :D

I attempted to do this guy! I thought it would be cool to have a stronger variant of the Zola in this game. This guy will be like a darknut (since in that segment of the game and area, there are no darknuts, so it could work as a variation), but without armor, and will sometimes shoot fireballs at you.
I animated the attack and walking animation, I think it looks pretty cool, and it would be a cool addition to the game.
I edited Leduardo´s and Koh´s attempt and I fused it with the Zola I did with Miles, so it looks like the normal Zola, but stronger.

I somehow dislike the idea of the armored version of the Geozard. I don't really know why, but it doesn't feel right. So in my personal opinion only an "unarmored" version should be used.

Regardless the sprites look really nice. However I think it's too plane and the green tone is not the right one (this is clearly influenced by my memory of the Geozard in the NDS Zelda games). Have you considered using the structures on the upper body and the green tones of those?

I think that we're coming up with a bunch of enemies that all use the MC Darknut body as a base, and we should probably move away from that.

fyi, NPCs need to go through a submission and approval phase for their behavior, health etc before spriting them

So I found Sinkin´s sprite attempt of the Volcanoraxus. It was a little rough, So I cleaned it and animated it! I also did the back view.
So this boss still needs the side view (I only did the head, the body is harder) and all the attack animations. It is never specified if it has a weak spot of how you battle it with the bomb cannon. Do you just shoot it with bombs until it dies? Seams too easy for the third in-game boss.
Maybe I´m missing something, could you guys clarify this for me?
The lava will be animated, so it is best to have an animated layed for it instead of putting ALL the animated bits to the lava onto the body.

Anyways, I post this on the enemy sprite topic because I´m too lazy to make another one :P

What do you think? I added Sinkin´s original sprite on the sheet too.

So I made the attack animations of both the top and down views.
The only one left is the side view.

Oh wow, that one is really old haha. Can't believe that's from 2012, I'm getting old. I did a quick rework of it, only the head though. I think I went a bit too far with it, but I might continue on it buuuut here it is.

EDIT: Oh also, head is still a little bit rough, so I will get into that later if have more time to spend on it.

I like that idea. The small ones could be spreaded inside the dungeon and maybe also hatch from eggs duringe the boss fight? and  the "mother" would be the dungeon boss than.

Sounds a lot like Gohma. (Thinking of Inside the Deku Tree from OoT, for example.)
