Oooo ok. Insightful! I started off on something a little complicated (Diagonal scythe attack) and for the most part am using 3/4 view parts. But ya that would probably need a side view torso and pelvis at the very least to look proper. Did another character in the time since last posting, a female with a gun which was much, much easier to animate in this style just a little recoil shock and kick back in the gun and upper body. Little muzzle flash.
Thanks for reuploading tomb's files as well you've been a great help!
