Hey, Uku!
It's a nice sprite, and I'm sure someone can eventually animate it for you. However, we try encourage people to make at least one attempt by themselves, before asking someone else to do it for them.
Use one of the many tutorials around, make an attempt to animate and show the result here. Then people will gladly help you.
Good luck!

Its a nice sprite, and Im sure it can become even better in a DOTT-like way. Have fun enhancing it.

PS: Return to fantasy is nice, but sonic origami is best.

pretty cool character.Ã,  ;)
The only thing is you should try and make his arms swing slightly and for the body to bob up and down while taking each step. You know to add a depth of realism. Great though for what i am guessing is your first attemptÃ,  ;D

Good work

This is a great first attempt, it looks like a different style to what I usually see.
The walking should have some movement other than just the legs.
Great sprite though.

Hey, this guy is cool!

I think he'd look better if you changed the colour of his clothes. Blue and green don't mix well. Examples: (quick and ugly)

These is just the first that came to my mind, use any colour combination that doesn't clash. Some details would be nice too. Sorry though, I don't have time to draw them. I should be doing my homework instead of writing thisÃ,  ;)

i came up with a new animation but i left old colors, cause they fit to my character the best(in my poinion) and i left his normal face cause i thing it fits the best to my game. well enough of farytales and to business.

here is the animation(walk) http://www.ukujuku.tservu.pri.ee/Animatsioon2.gif

Sorry to say you made the classic error of moving the arms parallel with the legs. It should be opposite! The right arm goes back when the right leg goes forward etc....

Also the knee should bend, and the foot be lifted when a leg is moved forward. Right now the legs look like pendulums...

Still, a great start! Keep 'em coming!

...And you want to be bopping his upper body up and down as he walks.

You didn't change it why?Is our paintover wrong?
You should change at least his neck.
