Yes, outlining the lineart for the animation first is the way to go.

I would suggest you to do the animation first and add the shading when you are finished with it. It is much easier to tweak the animation without having to adjust the shading all the time.

Animation still needs:
Walking/moving: 4 views, "up-down-left-right" -pretty straight forward here. the unique anatomy lends itself to a loping stride that hunches before extending. visualizing how muscles are attached to bone will help here.

Attacking: 4 views up-down-left-right -claw attacks and tusk attack? does beastman lower head before attack or side rip like a wild boar?
Do claws flex and extend when ripping. can it rear on hind legs and slash with claws?
Does he snarl when defending himself? Most animals try to make themselves seem larger somehow went attacked.
Eyes widen & nostrils flare in fight or flight response.

Every separate action will require a few frames of animation.

I think the larger front end gives this creature a diagonal placement feeling, that will inevitably stay through-out its development.
Yes final shading will help.

I really like this monster, I hope my comments help =]

The TMW graphic guidelines discourage excessive blood and gore. See http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Guidelines for details.

izandra you are right, but not what I had blood in his mouth, his tongue was.
its fangs are not to attack to find hidden underground fruits such as truffles for you an example, in addition to the breeding season the males measure their strength clashing their tusks.
I'm not good pixel artist I encourage you to give him life to these beasts, I leave a small modification ña.
greetings

Is there any program available to test the movement? I was thinking of drawing some "stick-ball figures"...balls for the articulations, that's usually my method. Also i thought it would be easier to draw this and then draw the real monster on the "skelleton" of stick-ball...i don't know if there is such thing... :wink:
