Looks kinda cool, actually, like he's made of paper.   Animation's pretty good, just need to move the arms and legs at the joints instead of moving the entire arm and leg.

Looks cool coloured.  Though, it does look like he's hanging, or flying, as Daz mentioned.

Hm... no comments, they're pretty much perfect now.Ã,  Only thing I don't like is the 1-pixel space between the right arm (on the left) and the body...

*made an edit :

-changed left eye/hair
-changed pixel

Nice work, hope to see some new stuff soon.

I agree with OSC about darkening the outlines... it turned out really well, though.  The bad guy turned out really well, too... his elbow on the left seems a little low, but I really like it overall.

I really like what you have so far, I think it will be a really nice style once it's outlined and coloured.  You've got lots of detail for a sketch.  Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looks like a butterfly rug on the floor.

Looks pretty good...Ã,  perspective was a bit off, but much improved over your first background.Ã,  Also, i'd suggest avoiding the really dark/black outlines, they don't match the character (ie. the chair, camera).Ã,  Not a huge fan of the green, but it looks nice overall.

Few suggestions :

*Maybe have a desk lamp mounted on the left wall, also?

I didn't notice this contest until last night, so this is a little rushed.



I think it turned out pretty well... can't compete with the others, though.

I like the second animation a lot better, especially with the new hands.  Only real problem I can see with the animation is the feet seem to change shape and size quite a bit.  Looks nice and smooth, though.  Cool character, btw.

Few suggestions for the BG...  I think it's a good start, just needs a few changes to match the character style. 

- The thing that really sticks out is the black outlines... it would look a lot better if they were a darker wall colour.
- Perspective is a bit off, which was mentioned.
- The wall colour is close to the coat colour, which makes the character hard to see... might look better if the walls were dark.
- Needs some lighting.
- Might look better if it was a hardwood floor, and there was a window on the right as a light source.

InCreator had some good advice, no harm in practicing.

Looks cool, has a lot of character.  Double pixels were already mentioned many times.

Looks good, I really like the style.

I started work on the feet and ended up changing some things.Ã,  Hopefully this edit will give you some ideas... got lazy and mirrored it, which is why the legs are apart.

-added ears/sideburns
-changed pockets/hands
-added a little shading in some parts

As for the feet, I think Darth's edit looks like a really good place to start.

TheDude - Thanks for the comments, I understand what you're saying. I originally decided to go with the console-style perspective, which didn't allow me to do much to the atmosphere of the scene, so I decided to do more of a 'curved' perspective so I could add a horizon, which changes the entire mood, IMO.  The character never reaches the 'curving' point, so I don't think it will be a problem.
Just FYI, the building does actually go 3/4 onto the sand, which is pretty silly now that I think about it, so it's larger than it looks.  I'll add a concrete border when I add the rest of the details.

InCreator - Thx for the suggestions... I plan on adding all that stuff, just wanted to post a clean version before I 'ruin' it.

Daz - I want to add a lot of atmosphere, so I planned on animating the ocean, having birds fly by, etc.

Thanks for the feedback.

LostTraveler - I'll tweak the sidewalks a bit, add some more detail.

Darth - Really liked the game, gave me a lot of inspiration.  I'll see what I can do about fixing the animation... though, i'd say animating is probably the thing i'm worst at.   Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the great feedback.  Just noticed how horrible the scale of the dumpster is when I added the character...

Darth - I hadn't played your game, but I saw all the shots, looked excellent.  I like the style.  I just DLed it now to try it out.

Damien - The wheels bothered me as well after looking at it earlier... i've already changed them a bit.  I plan on adding quite a lot more stuff in there as well... thanks for the comments.

Pau - The door does seem a bit off... I think it looks better when you look at the style of the characters, though.

Edit :Ã,  I've been working on my walkcycles... not sure if this is very good, I think it turned out alright.Ã,  I'd like some feedback on improving if anyone has any suggestions.Ã,  It looks like an improvement over my last...

C&C Welcome.


--------------------------

I've been practicing a lot lately, and finally found a style and a story idea I like, so i've started work on my first game.Ã,  I plan on adding quite a few more objects, and things like pigeons (or seagulls?) to add to the atmosphere... but i'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

FYI, the stormtrooper is there to show scale, and won't be in the game .

*Update : Made some changes to a few things that were bothering me.

I plan on starting a game thread in the near future with more updates.

Any C&C welcome as always. Thx in advance...

Look good... only problems seem to be the feet, as blackbird mentioned, and the turtle appears to be flattened a bit horizontally (possibly from resizing?).  Nice job, your work seems to be very close to the original characters.

Nice sprites... I like Darth's edit, just because it looks better with white instead of all grey.  Only thing I don't like is the hands... kinda look like claws.  Good stuff, though.

Really nice work.  Nothing worth commenting on... pretty much perfect.

Sounds like a cool project.Ã,  The shots look good now, but I think you could add a lot more detail to them overall.Ã,  The good thing about making screens for an adventure game is you don't have to worry about framerates.

If you need any forest textures, I made around 50 than i've never used.
