First game-like sprite - front & back & walkcycle

[voh]

This is the first of these I've ever made. I used MrCollossal's template as a basis, but simplified it so that I could work with it. Criticize it, because yeah, well, just because I asked?

[Corey]

the only thing i have to say is: his arms are really tight against his body... nobody stands like that i gues , i like the rest 

[Darth Mandarb]

As Corey pointed out, the arms look like he's hunching his shoulders in a bit. 

I would recommend broadening the shoulders (thus moving the arms out a bit).

Does anybody, besides me, think he totally looks like Dale Dye?
(with white hair that is)

[voh]

It's Dick van Dyke

[Gilbert]

It's Dick van Dyke

Not Colonel Sander ?

[GarageGothic]

Of course it's Dick van Dyke, in Diagnosis Murder if I'm not mistaken. Very good likeness. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the part of the coat seen through between his legs. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at. Perhaps the color is too similar to his shirt, or I just have a dirty mind focusing on what's between people's legs.

Edit: Or show a few pixels of his pants at the endge of the coat. Right now it seems as if his hip/crotch area is a square instead of an upside down triangle.

Here's the work I've done so far... Not amazing, but still

[Matt Frith]

Oh my, Diagnosis Murder would be a Legendary adventure game, carry on good sir!Ã,  Also the sprite is awesome, put the frames together and post the full animation

[Matt Frith]

Er ignore this, my internet went crazy

[Sam.]

if you're making a diagnosis murder adventure game, you should be worshipped, if you can make the rest oif the characters at a consistent quality level, it should look really good.

[voh]

I'm playing around with the idea to make a Diagnosis Murder game, but I've got one project to do before that - so for now it's just practice

[Corey]

so far so good , i gues 

[GarageGothic]

The legs are much better now. Good work. But I can't really tell about the animation before I see it moving. His eyes disturb me a bit now that you've put white around the pupils.

[voh]

I am too lazy to make an animated gif out of it :p

[MarVelo]

It appears that in the animation his legs are toooooo long when he is walking. The thigh section seems to be to long when the leg is extented.

[AlbinoPanther]

It is realy good.Just keep quality high for the other characters.
And your game will be GRATE!!!!

[Akumayo]

Cool looking, his upward (away from camera) animation looks a little weird though.  I could be wrong, but when it plays out in aa real animation file I think his legs will appear to sway, like he's drunk or something.
