Girl Sprite (EGA?)

[Anian]

I think I fixed the "wobble," but still not sure what you meant about the shoe, haha. My eyes are crossed from looking at this all day, so maybe tomorrow I'll be able to spot it. 

The frame her right leg is far back, the foot gets an extra pixel in length sort of, so it seems like the frames before the foot was turned towards the camera (even though the foot has the same legth of pixels but that frame). And even though the white detail on the shoes looks nice, it kind of attributes to that.
But I think it looks good, just the way you see it (like those rotating figures and somebody sees the turn go clockwise, others counter clockwise. It looked funny to me yesterday, but now it looks ok.

Yeah, same thing with me. I was going to do a paintover but I'd looked at for so long, it looked like her legs were rotating or something.

Did some work on the down view walkcylce today.


EDIT: Put some shadow in the legs, as suggested by  Anian and Eric below I really just overwrote the file.

[Anian]

If her lower legs gets shadow from the rest of the leg, there probably would be some shadow from the skirt/her body on the upper legs. Otherwise, looks nice.

I was about to post this, pretty much verbatim. Add a pixel of skirt shadow, and this sprite is fantastic.

Thanks for the suggestion fellas. I did so, it's above. My mind is going today.

Edit: I'll post it here for convenience.

My problem with the skirt shadow is that it creeps down the leg on the inside, making her look a bit like she's had an accident.

That is perfect! I love this character. Awesome animating, Maddoxic!

As Hudders suggested :

I appreciate your kind words, Snake!

I've been experimenting with IMFCreator for music, so I figured I'd match the graphic style to the music:


Commander Keen EGA palette which, if I'm not mistaken, is slightly different than the standard 16 colors.

Look EGA enough?

I'm really putting a lot of thought into this game, and I do believe I'm going for this EGA look. It's unfolding quite a bit since she started as a funny looking sprite.

Any thoughts?


EDIT: Just realized I double posted. I apologize.

I absolutely like this look! You could do some experiments with the dithering though. I'm having some problems understanding the full tone shadow parts in the upper edges of the room. Regarding to this the light source would be somewhere at the wall right above the door, but all other shadows don't match this position. Also, the dithering pattern on the ground confuses me. I guess it is because of the tile borders seeming slightly thicker with a dithered shade.

All in all it is a great looking, could use some more detail, but I guess you're just planning the overall style right now.

By the way, great job on improving your character sprite!

I sit on the other side of the fence;- She looked a lot better when you didn't force the EGA palette.

16 colour games are fine, there's some lovely looking ones out there, but a consistant problem with the EGA palette is the awful result of everyone looking like a pom on vacation. It just looks garish.
