buloght! what a tribute to the wonderful simon. I have been trying to do that for soooo long! boy am i jealous.........have you got a step by step tutorial? because I would love to get my hands on one

 nice monkeys cpage i like them both. ok im really gonna try to enter this time. i wonder what would cause a monkeys head to explode? good luck peoples!

i will be posting my entry here when I'm done, hope you like it!

:'( bummer, it seems as though my entry is not going to make it into this sprite jam, sniffle sniffle but I really like the sprite so when I finish it  I'm gonna stick it in the critics lounge so you can all critisize me for leaving so many double pixels in it  by the  way, there is some pretty awsome orcs in this here comp   

thanks, really sorry about posting in the wrong forum,  what forum should i post questions similar to this, i don't mean to aggrivate

your right, sorry :'(

me and my bro have been working on one of the strangest adventure game ideas weve ever thought up,  its funny but might be hard to make into a game, do you think its a bad idea trying to do somethink  that could prove very difficult to do justice?   

thanks for the advice, for the past hour ive been trying out psp8 and wow :o is that thing more advanced, you can achive lighting affects quickly and there is loads more tools, i find scanning characters and then sizing them down works  well,  so i think im gonna play around with those tecniques some more. 

  so far ive drawn all my art with paint shop pro 4, it seems ok for characters, but i can't even get close to producing a half decent background with it, ive got paint shop pro 8, but im quite unfamiliar with it and im more comfortable using paintshop pro 4 at the moment , any advice?

i hated the third simon game,  :'( it was the first two i was talking about

  thanks, i will post some art as soon as i get the chance, working on script as of now.

thanks, you see it seems easier to just go for a dott cartoony style but i wouldnt be satisfied with it

i am quite a perfectionist and i am never satisfied with my background art, i have a great love for the first two simon games and was just wondering if you had any advice on how to replicate their style of background art. 

yes, he should not move his head in such a queer fashion

yeah your right
his upper body does look a bit stiff, quite happy with the feet

This is my first go at forward walking animation. It uses 8 frames. Any comments?


                       

this better?

i see what u mean, how would u go about making the hands look as though they are in his pockets? 

heres an example of one of my characters:

       


I think I got the front and back to match okay, I just flipped it and changed features such as the feet. But does anyone have any advice on the best way to make sure the front and side views match?

I am making the artwork and animations for my brothers and my game. I have not had any major problems as of yet but like some advice on background artwork
