Hi all. I'm working on my Mr. Carlson sprite, and I keep trying to make a decent talking animation, just two or three frames, and no matter what I do it looks idiotic. I hate to ask for people to do things for me, but could someone possibly try and make the other frame of animation? I assume it wouldn't require modifying more than several pixels. Or, if someone has a good idea for how to animate this particular sprite, that would be appreciated too. Thanks!

I think the poblem with generic talking animations is that the lips can never synch and bad lip sync often looks 'idiotic'. Still, I tend to use a variation on these three mouth positions, but vary them so that he doesn't look like he's saying "Me Ma Mo":

if that doesn't work here's the link:

:o Thanks a million, Ali! Those are great. I'll worry about lip-syncing later, for now I'm just using what you gave me in order. I really appreciate it :)
Beautiful job Ali!
Or, just take vocals A,E,I,O
But there is the problem that in every language the vocals are spelled diffrently.
