backflippin guy (WIP heavily) - SKELTON S. SKELETON - 08-03-2010 okay guys i am going to need all of your help on this i have never ever sprited a human custom before, in any capacity. i know a little bit about anatomy, i'm trying to do the latest pixeljoint challenge. i realize there is hardly anything there, that's why i need your help. RE: backflippin guy (WIP heavily) - Cobalt Blue - 08-03-2010 well, you'd actually should give us a context to begin with. if you lack one, it could be (reading upon the challenge's rules) a kamen rider cosplay avoiding its fanboys?

RE: backflippin guy (WIP heavily) - Hoeloe - 08-04-2010 Watch videos of people backflipping to get an idea of what goes on during a backflip. Generally, the legs only bend backwards during a front flip. With a backflip, one or both of the legs is kicked forwards. RE: backflippin guy (WIP heavily) - -Sooty- - 08-04-2010 The Only Way the Legs would bend that way would be if it was a gainer of some kind, if it was a backflip the legs would be tucked up
