I want to give this site a chance to help me

nobody is gonna help you if you have this kind of attitude, it's very egotistical.

you're gonna need  A LOT more than just one sprite for it to pass as a WIP project dude

Not to mention he ignored us every time we asked him something.

backdragon, if you read what we said here: http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/i-need-help-palette-172442.0.html
you would have realized we wanted to help you, but no, you didn't even reply back. You wrote something unrelated to what you were asking and we were confused. So next time you ask for help, be clear.

What do you mean by help? Do you want us to draw it for you? Or some tips?

Also excuse me but isn't this:

what you want?
Because you posted it yourself. And it's looks better than what you posted now, probably because it's more edited.


The one who made it edited his frankensprite (if it was, I'm not even sure at this point) so that it looks more like the character. His references and bases are difficult to recognize, it means he's done a good job.

Other than telling you to check references such as these:

and try to do your thing, I don't know how to help you (unless, again, by help you mean "make it for me").

Just being honest here.

[black dragon]

I'm sorry i'm just still trying to get used to this site
yeah I want somebody to draw it

[AlexSin]

You realize that having something done for you not only is against the rules but it also won't help you learn, right?
In the long run, you need to do things yourself.

I'll help you just this once. Okay?

[AlexSin]

No answer...
...
anyway this is what I did:

1: original frame
2: I erased his right hand, it gets in the way;
3, 4, 5: I adjusted his anatomy a little;
6: I drew the symbol (it's a bit rough);
7: I returned his right hand back;
8: I fixed the symbol.

Save the .gif and look at it carefully, it might help.

[black dragon]

I like peoples feedback and somebody give me a sample I will copy it and I will draw my own version of it that's how I learn
thank you this is stuff I like

[black dragon]

can you split the sprites

[AlexSin]

You can use Asesprite, Gimp, Photoshop or any image editing software that uses layers to get each frame.

[black dragon]

it took me a long time to do it be I finally got it right I gave him a new head and I fix his mask

I took my sweet time with it

[black dragon]

oh I forgot thank you Sin- to make the symbol easy to do

[black dragon]

I need to fix a little more

[black dragon]

now I know what I'm doing

[AlexSin]

Not really.
That's not how you animate a stance: if you see people doing that, don't take them as examples because they're wrong.
Moving pixels left and right or up and down makes the animation look unnatural and doesn't respect human anatomy.

[black dragon]

I like the power stand couple people liked it but you don't like it do you think I could do better I can create a new one but I need you more people's feedback you know what I mean

I think I need to fix this more

these aren't bad for a beginner. drawing sprites is really difficult task to do, people expect high quality stuff, but you simply cant do one yet. you just need a lot of practice before you will be able to sprite well. instead of trying to make original animations,
easier and most efficient would be for you to learn, how to properly "frankenspriting animations". a lot of good characters are made with this technique, like ghost rider, thor, etc. if you want to be good at pixel-art you must understand "art" itself.. instead of using people to point out your sprite flaws, you should be able to detect them yourself. and it can't be done without the basic knowledge of art. you want to run with every frame to the forums to let people point out where you are wrong? then better just ignore all the facts and keep working on this character until its done, and then see, how is poorly designed and executed in the comparison to the creations of others. and if you don't give up yet, you will probably improve at this point, and try to do better next time.

but if you wan't to learn something, without going through the tedious developing process of failure,
make your internet research toward "sprite shading" tutorials, and anatomy tutorials are good way to go. and you can try out software called "spriter" for animations, and analyze tutorials with it. its the more smooth way to create animation than move 1 pixel, and you wont lose proportions. just dont edit next frames of animation cycle manually, because it will look out of place, inconsistent, and with your lacks of anatomy knowledge, wrong.

I know how do Frank and Sprite
yeah I can do him but his symbol is tough and I like to get people's feedback it makes my work better

[Teitan]

hello,
i have pointed out with the dotted lines, and arrows,  where your sprite is misaligned, drawed incorrectly, please zoom the image in for the more details. hope it helps you, to realise where you should try to improve your Frank and Sprite skills.

Sincerely,

[AlexSin]

But the real question is: how can you Frank?

[lui]

he knows how to frank, HE KNOWS HOW TO FRANK
