Hello guys, my name is Lake.
and since i have free time i told myself, Hey! you should start making your first character on mugen.
the problem is that i don't know how to code and so i thought well at least i can make the sprites for it
since i love spriting and i would worry about the coding later
and as you can already tell from the title the my first char is gonna be the "Blue Knight" from "Castle Crashers", an amazing game made by Tomp Fulp and Dan paladin on the XBLA.

and before you see the sprite i want all of you to know that even thought i said i love spriting i'm not really good at it.

I like the sprite. I hope to see more. Personally I never owned the game, but I had a lot of fun playing with friends. I will be watching this.

I think you should drop the sword asap. This way you can make additional swords and combine the images later.
I think the variety of the swords in the game, and the little animal power ups could be a very cool thing.

Making the jump from Blue to Green to Red would be easy in code too. You'd just need the additional effects.

I'd LOVE to see the Deer as an Ultra!
Me and all of my friends will be watching this project

I found this. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

Well since the beginning i wanted to make a full project with all the characters in it.
and i actually wanted to make everyone have it's own weapon, for example:
The Barbarian with his axe, the gray knight with the weapon that my blue knight has, the ninja with his sai, etc.
i also wanted to add the animal orbs as helpers or something like that.

But, i decided that i will focus just on the Blue Knight Sprites for now.

PS: And as for the deer i was planning him to be in one of the intro's or in one of the stages.

Also, thanks for your comment

EDIT:
Working on his walking animation right now

Yeah, probably but then i't wouldn't be fun  :)
i prefer to sprite all of the anim. one by one even if takes more time, it's more fun that way.

Please make a pushblock animation. Small characters are easy to keep in the corner
Looks very promising

PushBlock is pretty much just that. It's a Blocking move, that pushes the opponent away. It's one of the major things an all around solid character needs.
Dont get me wrong, if the character doesnt have it, it may not be bad. But it'd have to have other advanced techniques to compensate. Maybe a parry, or a dodge, or a roll. Something to help get out of the corner fast.

Looks great so far, you don't look like a beginner :) only thing I would suggest is to make the head shading a bit different on some frames to give it a rotation feel in the shield animation.

I'm probably wrong, but something about the flat top of his head just doesn't look right, like it's the wrong angle or something, or the edge is too sharp...  I don't remember seeing the reverse side of the character, or an aerial view, but I think I envisioned it being more like a mask where it just kind of drops of behind, instead of being a giant cap.

If it is correct as a cap shape, you might need to shade the edge line so it looks more beveled than a sharp 90 degree angle.  Again, I'm uncertain but it just seems off.

Well, he's supposed to be wearing armor. I think it looks pretty good.
I think a highlight color for the "blue" would add to the image.
vs

Also, I think your sprite look great but I've noticed something browsing the forum.



If you notice how he drops the black outline, it adds to the character. Obviously you NEED the black outlines now in the early stages. I'm just pointing this out because I think it make such a difference. Bringing it up in case you've never seen it.
