Self Sprite.

the timing of the 2nd one is better

[BC]

Lookin' very nice. I thought that your stomp felt a little light, though, so I hope you don't mind me making a quick little edit to show how it could appear to have a little more weight behind it.

Quick edit
Just one frame added and edited to be lower on impact. Feel free to disregard me, and good luck on your project. *returns to lurking*

that looks much better thanks

Nice edit.

I really want to see them

the stance is being re-done, just need to draw up a suitable animation.

walking isn't done yet as its the hardest thing to animate in my opinion.(especially when you dont have alot of experience like me)

there will be no running just a forward dash.

[TITAN MADRE]

bc, are you acept request?

[BC]

concepts are ever changing..lol

this one has been flipped horizontal, me being left handed ruins the sprite if its viewed from the back rather than the front so i positioned the camera so it shows me in a southpaw stance but in a right hand stance view

this way im more visible.

no detail on the legs because i cant sprite knees with squares lol.

i like it, but i need more practice




Also if anyone would like to help animate this stance for me id be grateful(a request) if not no prob...  everything else i can do, just i only had a stationary reference for the stance not a video reference like all my others.

ill have ago myself in the mean time.

something like bouncing arms with shoulders rising up and down and knees bending slightly would be cool if anyone can do it.

[BC]

frames i have drawn today for the jump...

needs an extra frame to smooth it out and a land frame.

legs on frame 2 look a bit shit, but i can always tweak it, i got confused at the start that this was gonna be stand to crouch  untill frame 3 & 4 lol




Also doesnt look too bad in game(considering its flipped)

Seriously, though, what's with the frontward lightsource?

[BC]

the stance shading needs fixing a little i know.

front light source yea, it all starts from the light source in the room i was recording in , seeing as im totally green to spriting and shading its kinda a comfortable way i learned, of course ill try having a light source from above or something seeing as its only a wip.


but thanks for being honest about it ill review some cvs sprites and see what fits best

[BC]

ok so i tried another light source, im not sure ive even applied it correctly, what do you guys think?



source is coming from above(his right arm side)

im not sure the pants shading is correct but hopefully someone cant point me in the right direction or suggest a better light source

[Anjel]

IIRC the CvS light source comes from the top right.
Try that.

[BC]

so this one i did is top left?

because if you was the character the light source would be from the top right thats what i thought i did.

[BC]

Better?

[ARCoolguy]

Well i cannot really tell because i am no expert at shading but i have to say you are a great spriter

How did you learn plz give me some tips

[G_Love]

This is some impressive work, BC. About how long would you say a single sprite is taking you to make on average?

it ranges from about 15 to 30 mins.

and thanks



heres an update,(defined features like ankle and toes(well only big toe was really needed to seperate from little ones) and changed shading to match the light source better(mainly pants, legs and arm)


wait did i say pants








@ ARcoolguy take a video (if doing animations, if not snap a webcam shot of yourself in a stance)  screenshot and paste in paint.net... resize to about 28% out of 100 (depends how big or small you want your sprite)  then add new layer, outline the photo, remove the photo layer, then colour the outlined sprite and shade it...

check other characters shading for tips and stuff, im still fairly new still.

when doing animations pause the video in keyframes and use the same method.

[BC]

i just edited the post.

doing it that way seems to give correct proportions.

sorry, i need to know:
you actually jumped?

[BC]

yea 


if you think thats shocking you wanna see my video for get tripped, i jumped and landed on my back with my legs in the air    on a matress of course


but that jump has an extra frame for smoothness now and a land frame.


i know people say game physics are different to real, which is totally true, but the motion is there so..
