Hi, I'm new here but I already love this board
This is my first attempt to make a sprite: he is a char of a very popular comic in Italy and I would love making a game out of this

C&C needed

is his head upside down or am i drunk

filipp8 · Fri 27/08/2004 18:16:25

lol
no, his head is right; the black on the downside of head is not hair, is a sort of shadow...

anyway this creature is not human, is a sort of "monster"...

Looks kind of like a tramp in my town.
Anyway, LOOK AT HIM GO!!
Be nice for some colour!

MITICO!!!

If you manage to create a game based on Ortolani's comics it will be a bomb... Let us know if you're already working on it and show some background and ideas too

when i take a good look at him, it looks like he is a thief with the black "shadow" as mask

,i should check my eyes

I would say add frames and make the walking smoother.

mousemat · Fri 27/08/2004 21:58:58

hes in an angry walking mood chasing a rat across a deserted swamp.......thats what it reminds me of ..
do what clueless said ...add some colour

This is damn cool. Congrats on a loverly looking anim - and with only three frames. If you added inbetween so that you see the fingers closing and stuff you'd have a loverly fluid anim. Good Luck in your endevours filipp8.

New animation now it is 6 frame

And a color still frame

mousemat · Sat 28/08/2004 11:20:04

i can see his face better in the non animation

Chicky · Sat 28/08/2004 11:30:01

i like the idle frame. But the only thing that bugs me is the brown outline to his legs and feet. Try making the legs outline dark red and the shoe outline dark yellow.

I actually like the first animation better.
The new one seems a little.. jumpy. Nice work anyway.

filipp8 · Sat 28/08/2004 13:16:57

Dunno if I like it...

I think I got it...
Remodeled his head:

Now a color animation

And the same color animation with a little of antialiasing

when he is walking, his body is jumping up and down, left and right, back and forth really fast, i have never seen anyone walk like this, work on it!

Well, this character is gibbous and has clumsy movements and all his body "follows" his movements...
maybe i'll try slowing down the anim...

Eggie · Mon 30/08/2004 19:24:49

I think the first 3-frame animation captured the movement best. try adding inbetween frames but making the animation last the same length of time as the first try...

Janik · Sun 05/09/2004 17:59:18

There's a bit of a continuity error - on one frame an extra stripe appears on his forearm.

stu · Sun 05/09/2004 18:34:36

i'm not keen on the way his head moves side to side.. it looks like he keeps changing direction...
