Paper Mario animations

[E-Man]

I haven't told you guys about this, but I had a Skype session with Virt to refine a few of the sketches I posted before. I didn't want to post any progress until I did a bit more than that.



I didn't want to do anything else with Luigi until I sketched some more parts for Mario. I think I could get away with mirroring a few of them from one set of poses, but I made a few new hand poses just in case. On top of that, I not only finished the new ear sketches, but also made new mouth sketches. Of course, I'll only keep one of them the same because I am able to rotate it for additional animation (i.e. the way Doopliss as Mario talks). Got any suggestions?

Also, here's my refined Koopa.



I sketched a rough idea for the Koopa Bros.' collar that will allow me to get away with flipping it. I hope you don't mind that the yellow bit is a stripe instead of a button since it looks more appealing to me.

By the way, the New Paper Mario retexture project by Nelde gave me some inspiration on how I should tackle the Koopa Bros.
