@SCIA As you mentioned you would be interested on feedback on the guitar animation: I'm a bit hesitant to post the following as I am not a Mexican / Spanish / Flamenco guitar player, so the following might be partially wrong. In general the animation looks great and covers the mood perfectly well, so it's just a few details here I noticed which made it look like "a non-guitar player animated this".
- If the music is Mexican or Spanish and played without a guitar pick in Flamenco styly, picking-hand technique / strumming is fundamentally different to other styles - the thumb should do a lot of work, your thumb was too far away and does not look as if it's doing anything. Index and middle fingers do the rest of the work most of the time. The first down-stroke looks good, but then the following two up-down-strokes look wrong, breaking the convincing feeling IMO. You can have a look at this tutorial video here.
- The picking-hand wrist seems to not do anything, but it would pronate/supinate a lot. That also applies to western styly guitar playing with a pick, not only flamenco. Not sure if you art assets provided for that though (supination of the hand). I think if the animation had included switching from full pronation to full supination even with a single image, it would be perfectly convincing for guitar players.
- When playing single notes and not strumming chords, the fret-hand should not just hold a chord, it would look more convincing it it moved up the fretboard and index/middle/ring fingers moved separately. Not sure if single notes are played here, the picking hand looks like it does at some place.
- The guitar has no frets. Just kidding 🙂.
I also just noticed while writing that your player is left-handed, so I use picking-hand and fret-hand.
The vibrating strings are perfect BTW! Makes it feel like sound is coming from the guitar even without hearing anything.
Apart from that, it looked really lively and convincing in general, and I greatly enjoyed watching it! The above is just nit-picking since you asked for it. 🙂 I guess the take-away might be to perhaps look at tutorials as well rather then expertly playing performers, as you can't see at that speed what they are doing unless you can do that yourself already. Also thinking about it it's pretty wild IMO that guitar styles differ wildly in techique as if they were separate instruments.
Hope this was somewhat helpful and not just annoying. 🙂
BTW: Not being a boxer, I'm not sure whether the kangaroo covering the face more would have looked better to me or maybe missing the face would make it look less "personal". It reminded me a bit of this youtube video where boxing styles of old looked completely different. Admittedly I never watched the boxing video completely, just saw the thumbnail and skipped over it briefly.
