I'm jealous of these pixel games I see people working on here and at pixeljoint. My most recent objects of jealousy are:

So I decided to break out my old laptop and brush up my pixel skills. This is a Bruce Lee character based on a bunch of unfinished sprites I had laying around begging to be used in a game. C+C or edits are welcome!
And below is a title shot of the flash game (based on the same design) I'm procrastinating with while avoiding math classes and work. Although it pretty much just runs the title screen at the moment, I've coded the ability to use dynamically palette-swapped custom characters by loading your own custom sprite sheet :)

Really Nice man.. I Love the Idea of The palette-swappable characters should be a good game to play Keep up The good work

Hey colin, good to see you around here again with your RCR type guys. Those animations are really great, I think. Maybe Bruce's hair should be a little bigger/popping off the top of his head or something? I don't think the likeness is quite there, but then again maybe it's not necessary.

It was a lot of learning for a meagre amount of code :) But it works and its really easy for the end user to add different palette swaps for their character.

I actually tried that before! It wasnt all that necessary and i couldnt get it to look right anyway. I gave away all my art related to this stuff (including flash code) about two years ago, no strings attached. One guy took it, but I dont know if he ever finished anything.

The gray stripe along the side looks bad. It looks like shading.
Maybe make it a bright red or something, or take it out completely. I think it's at an angle where it will always look like a shadow of some kind.
I like the whole overemphasized "keeyaaaah" pose part. I think it would be cool if you could add one of those before he swats someone as apposed to after.

I reallllllly love your Bruce Lee. I am Jealous.

Your sprite is absolutely chief! ;D I agree with Darien about the likeness tho, how about an ear to try and increase the likeness a bit?

Don't know if my edit makes him look more like the real deal but maybe if you messed around with it some..

No, it doesn't. Its a bruce lee trademark, if anything it should be darker. The animation is fantastic and very fluid
