Never animated a sprite in my life. Trying to get it to work. Going to be posting WIPs here, would love c+c. Just blocking out shapes at the moment. I was trying to render from the get-go originally and it wasn't working at all.

This is the character i'm supposed to be doing. Doesn't belong to me.

Trimmed it to 6 frames so when i add the magic i have more variables to use for the final 12 frame animation. I think it will make it more dynamic if some sections are on a 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 frame loop. As opposed to with 7 where it's 2, 7 and 14.

Also this looks cleaner.

Taking a break on the sprite itself and sketching out the fire.

Apologies for the un-necessary bump. But it's been 24 hours... So should be ok? Idk, this whole thread is me double posting...

Oh dear, sorry for not responding! This is a good look so far, but you've lost the hippy look! Add a strip to either end like you had in the second version, if you need examples of how that would work I recall morticia addams had many dresses that conformed to the hips like that!

My partner gave the feedback that the hips made him look too much like a girl. So i removed them. But adding them back in, since the original is pretty hippy. Also, gah! So not used to this scale. It's tripping me up.

It's my birthday so i have time to pixel for the first time in ages. Will probably be posting a lot of updates today.

I genuinely never would have guessed. Looking good so far though, time to animate i'd say!

Didn't get much pixeling done today. And NOW it's ready to animate. Need to fix the shading on the cowl and skirt still, but the body is looking better, more details filled in.

Can't look at it anymore. So much i could fix. Ended up chosing not to aa or anything. Because too much time spent on this already.

Shouldn't have picked something so complex as my second attempt at animation... x__x

For a second attempt this is pretty darn good. Ace work!
