[WIP][C&C] RPG tiles, props and sprites!

Oh there is a deadline in place for this? that changes a few things.


Well I understand meeting deadlines but if possible I would suggest putting more more frames for the main characters animations and maybe the np characters only having 3 frame walks if you have to cut down a bit. The player will be spending most of their time with the MC so the amount of effort that goes into boss characters and Main character should be a lot greater then a town npc.

Just a thought. I agree while its quicker to do shorter key frame animations smooth moves are always pleasing to the eye.

I'll give some serious trough to this, the deadline is a personal motivator.

Pixel animation is new to me I am primarily a 3D artist.

You say 8 frames for walking animations, do you have any examples to show me?

I made mine following his advice from this tutorial ( also watching The animator's survival kit)

So yeah since my animation uses the idle in between my character seems to shuffle rather then walk. I am not sure about doing 8 but 4 unique  might be a good idea tough ^^

I am going to test it now ^^

fair enough! good luck with making improvements!

So I went with 8 it seems

I animated her legs still needs some fixing.



Edit: Legs re-animated. I also edited the title for this thread to something more relevant.

Looking good

When the leg is extended towards the camera add more of the lightest shade on the foot to show its exposure. kinda like if you have the  way you have the leg getting darker as its moved further away from our sight.

 just do the opposite to show its extension

Ok then here is my current walk for my female base!



Edit: Started working on a over world goblin. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated



Edit2: I worked some more on it and tried to make it look less square. I see some mistakes in the female walk now to.
