Little Fighter Sprite

[fyewit]

Hello, my name is Danny.

I made this fighter sprite.

Please feel free to critique.

One thing that bothers me is that the game has low reslution(320x240) and he appears really blocky.  I can reduce this with AA right?
but im not sure quite how.  because different backgrounds and stuff.


Thank you.

His right arm looks a little weird when it moves back, but generally I really like him.  I'm not sure if his hair is black or if thats shadowing, but his face looks a little small between chin to forehead

[fyewit]

here is an idle pose of the fella.  the dark on his face is supposed to be an eyepatch.  hope that clears up abit of the confusion. might need to fix it still. and look at the arms while im at it.

sorry.  forgot to attach new picture...

I got a whole sheet of him now too.



Which frame does his arm look weird in for me to fix up?  I dont know.  Is it the whole backwards motion
that looks weird or just 1 or 2 of the frames or something?

Not sure if it looks 1 pixel too thick (or something) in the first run/walk frame.

I like this. Wanna see these all in animated .gif

The first frame of the walk animation--The elbow looks as if its in his forearm area.

[fyewit]

yeah i think i gotta reduce the the thickness of the arm.  the little notch is supposed to represent his fist.  but if it reads more like his elbow i gotta change it up.



ill post new anim soon but photoshops a pain in the neck to make animations with.

[fyewit]

i also got this guy.  he is the main character.



about this guy.  im looking at thse action lines.  i dont like them.  anyones thoughts?

Here you go, 200% size to easier see where it may look weird.

His right punch could need one more keyframe between the first and the second frame.

[fyewit]

WOwie!  thats cool.!!  thanks for animating that VDX.  what is a good program for making animated .gifs ayways.?

thats a good idea about the extra frame between the first and second on the punch animation.  I will try repost later with the animations without the action lines(the white lines on the punches etc) to get opinions on whether its better to have them or not.

and i also am yet to make dying and getting up animations for my main character which is what i am wanting to work on next.

cheers.
