Getting into the sprite making hobby, I didn't realize how many styles of sprites there could be... so I was wondering whats a nice one to start off with. Right now Madame Foster is very plain - poorly made and very paper.. what could I do to inhance the gameplay.. if thats the right way to put it...
Well she is based on a style of animation that is very "flash" like in appearance, everything is geometrically defined and clean cut.In a way you have the style defined from the get go.
Maybe better shading..also get rid of those random color pixels in her hair.. Wait..She has random pixels all over her.
Another thing I've noticed is, Yes shes a cartoon. But for what ever reason I find it hard to get thoughs cartoon like features JUST right befor stepping over the line ;(
if you want to practice spriting on a specific style, try making sprites on several and go with the one you like more/is easier to work with. you can even mix up styles.
