First full sprite attempt

Alynn · Sun 07/03/2004 05:02:42

Usually I edit my sprites from origionals... This time I couldn't find anything suitable for what I wanted to do, so I decided to try going ahead and doing one myself. So I wanted to see what everyone thought... Please be gentle

small size

zoooomed in (300%)

Actually no, all the chars fit very nicely in the world I've created. In fact that particular character is taller than all the other ones. The average hight person in this game is 20 pixels which is 10% of the screen height.

The whole style of the game is to keep in the idea that this is a world comprised of 8bit chars from old RPG's and the like. So that is the reason behind the tiny size, it looks much better on screen than it does in sprite form I guess.

Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to bump this so if anyone else had anything to say, the post didn't fly away into oblivion....

i dont really like the black outlines though, change them to a darker version of the colour inside. Also arnt the hips a tad bit wide? This is a troll not a pregnant woman rite?

Hrm... yEAH... I'll look at changing the outline colors, as far as the hips, I'll see if I can narrow them, and still make sure he looks completely ridiculous, (this is one of the bad guys, and they are intentionally made to seem stupid looking)

Tanks.

yeah, his hip is too wide... It looks as though his butt is on the front

. Don't just narrow them, try to change their outline instead. I mean, look at the legs; they look as though they are in front of his "family". Try making his "family be in front.

Ok I narrowed the hips and brought the crotch down some, I still want to
keep the illusion of thick trunk like legs, so I didn't narrow them alot, just a
pixel on each side I also dropped the black outline. I wen't ahead and added
the left and right foot forward poses (his walking animation frames)

Anyway...

Sorta reminds me of the pimp in LSL1 EGA...

Ok, I have all 4 walk directions finished.... The pose on the far right hand side is his mouth open pose for his talking view... Lemme know

ZOOMED

Thanks to Mr. C for letting me know that I can resize

I also switched where it was hosted to my other website, because msn groups tends to change the file type and what not to save space.
