the one with the red circle around it, is it close to what you've suggested?
I don't want to shrink the sprite, or it's resolution for that matter, cause that'll be a problem in the end...
(if I still haven't got the perspective right, what can I do to keep the resolution/size, but also have you perspective?, without shrinking)

I've tried this over and over again and this is the best so far I've made.. but, even to me, it feels lacking... not to mention I'm going for eight frames instead of four... even so, just this four frame animation I've attempted sucks... IDK, what you think? is it any better in your opinion?





Idk how to do this, in fact, it feels like I should just give up instead of beating this dead horse, but really don't want to give up and need some help...

and I thank you for your input.
it's just that idk what I'm doing when animating this thing, almost like I'm blindly pixeling it not even knowing what I need to do...
And, he is suppose to be moving down the screen, not towards it... 
Can you, or somebody direct/tell me on how to make the arms seem they're going back n fourth,
or perhaps animate a silhouette version?

 ;D Alright...
 ;) I've already introduced myself here, and with it, I brought along my first attempt at animation...  :yell:
 :blind: I've noticed that sprite was incapable, impossible, or just plain hard to animate, so I threw it out and giving this another go around, but this time with something new...

 :-\
Now, I'm attempting at something totally new, to me, which is 48x64 sprites.  :o
Through Trial & Error, I came up with a plan to rip out an outline, then use that outline to animate, then I'll take the frames of that outline and pixel in my RPG character over the outline.
Well, with that, I've even failed.  :mean:
So now, I'm seeking advice, and any kind of help at all...  :-[
Direct me on how I should animate this thing, like how exactly should I move the arms and what not...  :(

PLEASE I NEED HELP...  :'(
I've been trying for weeks to get a simple animation done, and I've yet to get any done at all because all of them have failed me...

 >:( (Also, please don't try and write me off by sending me a link to a tutorial, I've seen them all and none of them help AT ALL)...

 :crazy: My Progression/Attempt:






As you can see, I'm desperately in need of some assistance...  :(
And, I know this is a Pixel Art thread/forum, so I was hoping professionals on this type of matter could lend a helping hand...

 :)  **UPDATE**  ;D

 ;) Alright, I obtained the GIMP and brought it back onto the computer so I could make sure to animate my images this time around...
 ::) I also spent a heck load of time trying to get the animation working better, although I've came across a huge problem...  :yell:

 >:( I worked out all the kinks, and think I've made the north-bound and south-bound animations close to perfection (in an exaggerating way)...
 :-\ Although, the north-bound animation could use a lil more work, but it's good enough...

 :'( So, my problem:
I've having trouble creating a east-bound animation. I don't even think I've created a good enough stance image to even begin to create a good animation... So I was wondering if someone could help me out, critique the stuff I've already have, and maybe possibly someone help me with the east-bound animation...
All I need for someone to do in helping me with the east-bound animation is just create an outline... or technically "outlines" for which I can go back over and do all the work, because I cannot get it right...
(fyi) I've been attempting and working on this sprite since monday...

 :hehe: Here's Everything Done So Far:
