The point is, I look at your narutorials. I googled "Paintshop Pro 5" and I see nothing but damnned "trial versions, buy PSP5" So Cyanide, where do you get your PSP5 for free I can't find it.

What I mean is yeah, I can preview in FF yes thanks to your narutorials but I don't want to add and delete frames for every single modification in the sff and I feel uneasy with the absent palettes.

All this problems really and me. Arrgh! I am expecting myself to finish her stand sprite by February but turns out I was wrong.

Rika !! I hope your looking at this I'm in a huge pit covered with sticky goo I need your answers mate. Don't give me a "nipah".

Dude, make two topics, keep the sprites one where it was and make a separate one to get help with palettes and other mugen specific stuff.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

How do you split this thread into 2? I've seen admins capable of doing that.

[Bastard Mami]

Just make a new topic in the help section while keeping the psrite one in the gfx forum.

problem thread there, done.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

I've done it!  After all those f**king confusions I've done it!



I used CoffeeCup Gif though, had to uninstall the program to save time for further animations

I'm a NOOB so that's the reason why I'm showing "off" animations in the first place, I REALLY need comments to improve.

Now I just need to listen to comments to mod Rena perfectly, tweak here and there and start with the walking animations next.

Update :- Fighter Factory version.

shoulder moves needs

[Mineko C. Lucky]

Thank you for the feedback!

Note 1 : Shoulders

[Mineko C. Lucky]

I really require more comments (either good or bad) so I know where my characters heading. I don't want people to say "OMFG look at this guy's Rena she's so ugly hahaha". I want to do the best I can to each and every character in the future.

Currently I'm doing her shoulders while I have time. Would not take long.

[Bastard Mami]

It's looking good already, it's better to move to another sprite.

[Cyanide]

Nothing wrong with that for where you are now. What is going to happen, and you won't even slightly be able to prevent it. You're going to work your way through the sheet, as you do, you'll improve. Eventually, you'll compare the sprite you've just done to some of your first ones, and you'll go back and improve them.

You won't be able to stop yourself. It happens. It's happened to every spriter i know. As you improve, you go back and touch things up. What you have there is good (really) but as you go, you'll find it horrible and change it. Don't spend too much time on it now, or you'll be annoyed when you go back and fix it.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

Thank you guys , I think I'm a bit too perfectionism to everything.

I'll start with walking sprites next.

[Bastard Mami]

You can:
a) perfect your sprites.
b) perfect your skills.

Doing just one gets really boring; I spent some time last year doing b), it's not noticeable at all because the skill I worked on to improve was speed.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

Here's a picture of a half-finished Rena in walking position.



Ignore the ugly waist because I will edit later, again I'm rather shaky at hands, even with reference to hand poses.

I just like to hear if there are problems, oddities or things I shouldn't do.

I should have finished this a very long time ago but due to my own issues, took this long.

[Bastard Mami]

I need to see the legs.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

It's rough because if there's something wrong the hard work on details will be wasted.

[Bastard Mami]

It's rough because if there's something wrong the hard work on details will be wasted.

the extended arm looks like a tube, try adding 2 or 4 pixels of leght plus shape the elbow.
the other arm can be right if she will be moving it back and forward during the animation and it just happens to be in front of her in that frame.

While walking the legs should affect the folds of teh dress, but yeah, save that for later.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

Thank you. As usual I'll send in an update by next post.

[Mineko C. Lucky]

Pretty much done, I'll just need to add the details. Frame will be done in about 1-2 hours.

=edit= on second thought, I think I'll post it prematurely, with almost completed details and haven't edited parts. I'm going to snooze.



Tommorow will be all fixes including elbows, folds and after tomorrow will be animations.

[Bastard Mami]

Do not save as jpg, use png instead.

you will need to add some fold in the part where the knee is supossed to be, most likely using the 2nd lightest color.
