[WIP]Sprites for a game

[jbeave]

That idle animation is currently 41 colors, is this a problem with creating the animation or with the original sprites?

I don't understand what you mean, can you elaborate a little?

[1up]

he means: did the clusterfuck of uneeded colors happen when you were making the original or did they shimmy their way into the sprite when the gif was created

[jbeave]

What uneeded colors?? Am I saving the animations wrong or something? In that animation there are four frames, each frame should only have about 11-12 colors each. I honestly don't see what you guys are talking about..

each frame should only have about 11-12 colors each.

he said that there's 41 colors so i guess a bunch of similar and uneeded ones managed to work their way into the animation??


idk, i didnt bother checking for myself so i might have been defending someone full of /poop/ there for a second

Each frame is 32 colors or more, and most of the extra colors are just a few pixels. Some others are used consistently in one location, but don't match the rest. For example, the brown outline on his right hand is different from his left hand and his face, and neither of those colors are used for the bottom of his shoes.

EDIT:

?

You're right, how the hell did you catch that? I don't have a clue how it happened though, but I'm glad you caught it. I cleaned it up the best I could:



I hope the rest of my sprites didn't do this....But I do still want some C+C on the hair, do I have it's movement down good enough?

Thanks for that, but it made my anti-virus go nuts saying there's a adware/spyware in it. I ignored it and then it recognized a trojan so I'm not going to install that. =/

I'm using Avira, btw.

Avira blocks EVERYTHING!!!!
Submit the file to http://analysis.avira.com/samples/index.php and select suspected false positive.

The identification as a trojan may be a false positive, but there really is spyware/adware in the installer.

His shoes are changing colors, also the shading on his chest kinda lags right after he reaches his highest point and looks a little wonky... Mostly the shoes though.

[jbeave]

Ah, I must've missed the shoes. I'll fix it and the torso.

Here's something new, it's a boss concept.



My shading is a little off, but how's its general design? I'm gonna work on its idle animation later and have its arm levitate. Would it be better to have them go up and down or do a sort of circular motion?
