Basework, Walk Animation

[PostahBoy]

Hey guys im very new to pixel art and from loads of scanning I can tell this site has pretty much all the tools and experience here to help me progress. I have a base that i've started for a byond game and need some help with, tips and crits would be very usefull aswell as Im stuck in certain parts of getting the state to move fluently. I figured Id post my piece with only one part of the state left blank in hopes that someone would lend a helping hand. I can move on from there in doing the rest but Im stuck in correctly making the mid states of a person walking. Smaller bases ive seen tend to get away with 4 states but mines is slightly larger than most 32x32 and I thought 6 -7 states would make smooth transitions.



Thanks guys, help where you can.

theres a lot to work on here and I'm sure other guys are going to get to it but id just like to point out that for reversed-leg positions in a situation like this you can just copypaste the same form and recolor.



saves time

(also added a toe to the foot there. thought it needed it)

Hahaha, but sakket, now his foot depths are completely messed up! Redrawing is almost always better, the 'time' it saves to copypaste and recolor isn't worth a lot anyways.

i noticed that right after I posted. XD

You can just raise up the background leg a pixel and that wold probably fix that If it really makes too big a difference. I was just going off another very good walk cycle thread i found on here, which probably applied more to side-scroller sprites. Would the method really be all that different?
