Heroes and Villains



Left: Fulton (villain)




Right: Lucina (hero)











Here's Fulton's animation...






The fight animation and Lucina's animation are Flash files, so I can't post them...apologies.

Hero/Villain Review 1: Jason Butler

Hero: Mr. Sun
Villain: Malicious Moon

Both of the characters are fairly basic. They're both made of simple shapes and colors, giving them a bit of an affinity. However, the fact that they use yellow and blue contrasts them, as does their constantly different facial expressions. The colors both characters use are also different in brightness and value- Mr. Sun is much brighter and lighter, while Malicious Moon is darker and duller.
There weren't any shadows, although I do remember mentions of Mr. Sun never having shadow on him, since he's the SUN. This does separate him from his enemy and makes him a more obvious hero. There were also no symbols, and there was not a clear mood.
Both characters moved essenially the same, with no overlapping movements or weight.
Overall I don't have much to say, since there were no individual character animations posted.

Hero/Villain Review 2: Eric Miller

Hero: The Trash Compactor
Villain: The Mogul

These two characters are much more contrasted than the previous pair. The hero, The Trash Compactor, is mostly a dull grey and rather boxy in his design. The villain, The Mogul, is dark purple and much sleeker. The Trash Compactor's duller colors contrast with the Mogul's more vibrant ones.
The lighting around both characters are also different. The Trash Compactor is mostly in the shadows, since he fights on the streets. The Mogul is more in the light, since he seems to be the leader type instead of the street thug type. The constant lighting may also give him a vibe of being more refined, especially since his opponent is covered in garbage cans.
The characters also move differently. The Mogul's movements are much smoother and stylish, while the Trash Compactor seems more focused on efficiency than looking cool, as I would expect from a guy who wears garbage cans.
