Hi,
can I get some c+c on these. They'll probably be used for a platforming game but I might use them for AGS.

I'm having a lot of problems with coloring for both sprites. So help on that would be particularly useful.
I'm not much for colouring so I'll spare you my poor advice in that area :D
The run looks good. I'm not sure why his goggles change shape slightly when he turns(top portion gets more of a curve). His pupil/eyes move up and down out of sync with the body's limited up and down movement. His mouth piece needs an inbetween, it kind of pops now. He kind of jerks upwards a bit when his left leg is forwards. Overall he isn't going up and down very much maybe using that pop I mentioned before as a good height for the "ups" in his run?
Now aside from that stuff, I really like it. The motion in the legs and arms is great, and I like the design a lot! I don't know what's on his head but it's smiling and I think it'd look pretty neat flopping around a bit on his head when he runs(dunno if that's the plan but it looks cool in my head!)
Good luck with your game... whatever genre it turns out to be

Sweet. As twentyfour noticed before me, the goggles's shape's changing in some of the frames. The upper part of the rimps is in one moment straight and in the next - folded. Eyes are something that bothers me too. I forgot the medical term for this, but when you've fixed your head in some point, even by moving your head, your sight stays fixed there. By your guy while running his eyes are slightly changing sight-direction which is not normal. :)
About the coloring fo the second thing - can't help 'cause I have no idea what this alien (?) is. :) But I'll give a small advice - depending on the attitude (hostile, neutral or defensive) of this creature thowards its outer world and the world itself you can match the coloring. Since I guess it's a hostile one, make it with some camouflage colors that will hide him from his prey so that it can attack it by surprise. If it's supposed to be somewhere beneath the sea-surface (since your character wears a diving suit), you can make it either blend with the water color or if it's a sea-floor creature - blend with the floor (corals, seaweeds, rocks, sand etc.).
About your character's - shading. Colors are nice I think. Ah, one more thing - continue the line that starts from the top of his/her head to the bottom of the tummy. And shoulder-straps, 'cause I don't see how this thing can be "sewed up" to his suite.
Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I noticed a lot of the same things you guys did so I'll try and work on them.
I forgot to put in the chest straps. I'll fix all these things up for next update.
Oh and the whole game is set in the deep ocean.

Is he running under water? If so, I guess he should run a bit slower.
^ Agree here. Try copying all frames a couple of times and it should make it slower. :)
Yeah he's underwater. I know what you mean and I've thought about it and decided that I don't want to make it slower. I don't want to forsake gameplay to make it more realistic. I'll come up with an explanation for it though. Thanks guys.
Spongebob doesn't need an explanation.

To make him a bit slower would just be silly. There's no way anybody or anything could run on the ocean ground
at all. Plus one would need... damn, I don't know the word... shoes with much weight in order to even walk on the ground. So just don't care about that stuff, explanations are unnecessary (include them if they are really funny)..
The animation looks good, I like it.

Better?
I think so!
If ya wanna get real nit picky there's lil pops here n there but nothing I'd fix :D
I still wanna see that smiley thing bouncin around though!
Thanks Twentyfour.
I'm still working on coloring. Having trouble.

Edit by ProgZ: Don't double post, please.
Adorable. Reminds me a little of the ball guys in DigDug...
Colours are okay, and the simple shading works very good. Have the little turtle do something in an idle animation, and you're in for a win!
