Well, I'm going to try to animate this sprite hopefully tonight- but I've basically redone it. Still looks similar to the first one since I'm using the same colors (though less of them) and its slightly smaller- considering wether or not to keep the black lines- I did want a heavy use of black particularly in the shading, but maybe its not necesarry in the lines
Another thing about this is in the file I have for it, the character is in many pieces now, and I'll be sliding them around per frame, as opposed to redrawing- so hopefully that will both speed things up and keep it more stable looking
here's the drawing I used as the base:
here's the sprite so far- not animated yet- I'll add the animated version here as soon as I get it done
I also tried fixing the older one and it was okay but still seemed too wobbly yea
