I bet most of you don't remember me, but I was here long ago, a fledgling game designer wanting to make a game. I realised, however, my ability wasn't up to scratch, in any of the areas involved, so I fled away to hone my skills a little. And back I am, because you guys are the best people for adventure game sprites!
Remember him?

Man, nostalgia. I remember making the very first version of him, long ago. This isn't DOTT style. It only uses the palette and some of the simple 'shading' or lack thereof. I hope I've cleared up any confusion. You'll notice he's been redesigned ever so slightly, for example the blonde hair, dungarees instead of trousers, and he's a lot smaller >>

CHIPMUNK BEARS =D
C+C?
(Edited to stop people pointing out it isn't DOTT)
I remember this guy from awhile back ...
I remember thinking he was pretty good back then, if a bit too large to be practical in a game. (if I'm remembering correctly - wasn't there also a hyiena or something?)
These sprites, however, look pretty darn good. I like the emotions and the different poses. I'd like to see it animated.
However ... calling DOTT style (even mock DOTT) is a touchy subject 'round these parts lately!! Tread lightly ;)
Aye, that's why I changed it from DOTT, to Mock-DOTT. I should change it further to Definately-not-DOTT or even 'This-has-absoloutely-nothing-to-do-with-DOTT-no-sirree' if anyone objects XD
There was indeed a hyena somewhere along the line. I must revamp him, too.
But what I really need to do, is have walking animations. They seem to be the toughest things to do properly. Everything else is a breeze - comparitively.

I propose we call it NOTT. As in, "Not of the Tentacle". Since, technically, it isn't. ;)
I don't think your style fits DOTT, but it doesn't need to. It looks fine as is.
As someone pointed out in the other thread, DOTT has become a byword for cartoony 'round these parts, which is definetely something that should be discouraged.
EDIT: Oh, but I loved NOTT.
Pfft. I'll remove all references, then. I called it MOCK-DOTT, since I used the palette, the basic outlining/shading style, and I kept looking at DOTT sprites for reference. I think the only thing I did wrong was not exaggerate enough =P. Enough with the 'It's not DOTT', since I already pointed out it wasn't - First post. What I would like, though, is a link to the DOTT sprites palette or something. I've been looking and I can't find it! Is my best bet to rip it with a costume/something editor from the game itself?
Rar. And stuff.
Sorry for funy post that isn not funny at all.
It was just for fun not for insulting you.
ZIV BIO!!
Sektor13 translate this
What's that? Can you post in a language that we can all understand?
Back to topic, though in the character I don't find much resemblance with the DOTT style (yes, need more exaggeration and DOTT characters are usually painted in brighter colours in my opinion, except for the bear's hair which are bright enough already, like Laverne's hairs).
I would like seeing some of the frames being made into animated GIFs for viewing pleasure. :D

Oh well, whatever.
I love those sprites, dude. Excellent use of colors.

Ok this is post from our neighboor country (croatia or serbian & mont..)
I will translate it, and goes like this:
------------------------------------
Yes, we remember your pretty elephant and goat, which is very shity (dirty :) ) and lives in rotten forrest.
What is the difference between a moderator and ball, ball comes back, but moderator don't.

This is full translation, and i think you will not gonna like it....
I'm really quite amused at that post. =P Not only is it trolling (judging by the inflammatory comment, and the joke about mods), it's trolling in a language only a few people here know! =o Funny. =P Can someone remove that post? It doesn't seem to be doing anything constructive.
Well, enough of that. Here's a background to go with it!

It's beautiful, but I'd love to see a larger version.
There's something weird to do with the perspective, but I can't pinpoint exactly what.
In any case I think it's a perfectly functional background for a game already.
It is very nice and would work fine. As far as perspective, in realtion to the rest of the pic, would you really be able to see so well inside the... um... well?
I think I failed at not drawing in perspective right XD I was deliberately NOT using it, but it always ends up too subtle. You think I should fix the well? I like the effect it makes =3
On a personal level, I think it works just fine. Someone else's opinion may differ, but I honestly think that proper perspective is sometimes over-rated when it comes to making a game.
But like I said: that may just be me.

Oh, didn't know that, sorry for translation than :)
I've been working on some sample close ups, for when I can't be bothered to animate stuff. I'm not the background artist for this project, so they're incomplete for now.
