Title: [WIP] Noob Sprite Sheet
Post by: Wharp on March 29, 2010, 12:40:33 am
This sprite sheet is 100% custom by me. I need help with the animation, I want to keep it to as little frames as possible. And the crouch is horrible altogether.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/510774/Characterbase.png) the three sets are for animation per frame. Just ignore it.
here are some mockups aswell:

In general, make the arms less static. You also may want to reconsider the position of them altogether if he isnt carrying something across them.
In the crouch, I think it would do wonders if you arched his back a bit more, and in the walk cycle, you should consider bending at the knees a bit more.

is it supposed to be funny the way his arms are?
don't take that as an insult, i'm just wondering.

That's so he can insert the gun sprite.

Its better, but move the spine forwards instead of backwards, now it looks like hes about to fall over, and thats kind of a feat when hes that low to the ground.

what do you mean, like move the arms forward and hunch him over a little?

Kinda. That would work, but you could honestly just lean him slightly forward, right now hes leaning back.
