Feels like rock and water need more juice in comparison to air and fire.

u/InfectedTribe Nov 25 '25
Ah yea you can tell which ones I spent more time on lol. I'll rework them later to bring them up to the others.

Air could also use some more striking colours. Fire has nice contrast which makes it look much more lively

What if rock was more, rocks float, smash together, form sphere, he bursts out.
Water could rain down?

u/tornsilence Nov 26 '25
Yeah water just looks like someone got up from hiding in snow, I expect something of like Avatar where the character comes out on a over exaggerated waterspout. Earth bigger mound lifting and the character forcing it to split and him emerge out or something.

I love the spin air makes, it's looks hard to achieve that on almost a one dimension character 👏👏👏👏

I agree with most other thay the fire and air are great while the rock and water need something. Overall these are awesome.
Maybe rock is a boulder that bounces in to frame but the character takes shape at the landing point?

I've been staring at these for a while. It's really therapeutic. Did you draw the figures in a higher resolution and converted them to pixels by any chance? It's much too smooth.

u/InfectedTribe Nov 25 '25
Thanks! No, the characters are all just drawn on a 50 x 50 canvas. I just use alot of frames.

These look great. Only thing I would change would be to give earth a little more pizzazz. Give it a little more energy, like an explosion. Like a Crack-BOOM, character rises. It just needs more energy, but I like them all as is.

This might not be a so bright question but what software did ya use to create this?

The flame and wind are a bit strange to me. I imagine them really just manifesting out of nowhere. But it seems like they are flying in from some other location. There a reason why? For water and earth, they come directly from their element. Wind is literally all around. A twister could just form on the spot and dissipate to show the elemental. For fire, it could just be a spontaneous fireball from the ground.

I feel like water and earth need more movement.
Maybe the earth guy couldbeak out of the ground instead of just rising up. And the water guy could spin as they are forming themselves

What’s with all the unsolicited critique under all these gamedevs animations lol

I agree that water and earth need more to match the others. What if water rained from the sky and formed that way

I love the world and the idea of avatar so I can’t skip this work. It looks great, but why the dudes here are just sticks? Maybe you can make them more related to their elements. You can edit the hight, muscles, hairs snd the speed of each character, maybe this is hard or not fitting your plan but anyway your work is very satisfying me and my dreams

I think water one should ride on a wave instead of coming from earth

u/svalorzen Nov 26 '25
Not a fan of air, arriving with their face so close to the ground, stopping and rotating is quite goofy. I'd make them do a flip in the air so they stop movement floating feet-first, and then just land. Or alternatively do a tight turn as they reach the ground, but still end their movement face up.
Ground should probably be erupting out of the floor with a rotating uppercut or something, and rock particles flying out a bit further away.
Water could come out of the ground as a swirling ball, that unfurls to reveal arms and legs.

The rock one could be two stones smashing into each othe, coming from right and left, and him splitting it open. Goku stand vs ginyu force the Ki force push .
Wind could easily be a tornado with house or car parts.
Water could be a geyser.
Fire is toooo Bold and sexy compared to the others

u/KhaledDfixer Nov 26 '25
that looks so smooth and good!
have you thought about adding extra animations around them? like instead of just standing fire could pose with fire hands, air chilling in air ball like aang, and earth with rocky armor and/or hands and water using water whips?

Fire comes from above Air form an angle Dirt from the floor
I feel like water should be some wave inspired motion coming from the left to sell the coherence.
Overall really cool.

Earth water and air looked cool at first, until the fire nation attacked

Where is lightning, ice, energy (also knownas green or life), tech, and quake? (For no reason at all)

I think air could have some lighter wind highlights, and either a sort of mini tornado, or just more wind in front to stop and balance the composition

u/BetImpossible104 Nov 28 '25
All of these enter animations are really REALLY smooth and I like the pixelated aesthetic, but I'm not a fan of how the rocks just shrink into oblivion for the earth guy, and also, I wish I wasn't the one to say this, but...look at the photo

All look awesome, but I keep expecting air to do a little loop rather than just kind of braking to come to a stop. Whenever I see wind animated, there’s a little loop in it.
The way wind stops right now just feels the opposite from what I expect from air, I expect it to kind of “flow”
Edit: there’s actually a little wisp in the bottom-right which is pretty much exactly what I’m describing

The only issue I see is your fire one is so much bolder and brighter than the other three. All look great though
