top-down hero character.

on: August 17, 2010, 07:50:32 am
i made an 8-dir character.  just idle frames.  this isnt for anything in particular.  but id really appreciate EDITS and crits. especially on colour ramping and selection, which i feel is (one of)my weekness.

also not quite sure about the south facing frame. looks off to me.



and also my "dummies": 

one thing that alwaysgot me were 4-direction sprites that moved.  but i spose that 8 directions makes alot more work.

I might make walking/running animations.

That is really an awesome sprite  ;D

Here's mainly a color edit, it might strive away from the style your going for though. I also tried helping out that south facing one.

Yeah, the blue of his shirt and his hair are the first things that jumped out at me. Also check out his face. Notice how he's kind of looking up and angry when he's forward, but not in all of the other sprites. Facing south, west, southwest, south east and east all seem like different faces and expressions.

Also north west is solid, but it's opposite south east is kinda hunchbacked.
