Help with Sprite Base

[bgill31]

I can't seem to get the body portions or the 3/4 perspective.  Also the colors look off to me.

I made these a few years ago, you can use them as a reference.

Hmm... If I used that as a reference it would probably turn out exactly like that seeing how sexy it is xD.  I want to make the legs straight but I can't stand how boring that looks.

Sorry for DB.  This is what I have for walking so far.





What do you think?

Try making the feet point forward as he walks. More times than often you cant use the idle frame in the animations.

K I completed changed the sprite but kept some portions the same.




Made it 8 frames and replaced the idle frame with another walking frame.

His shoulders arent moving at all which makes the arm movement look weird

It definitely has a more natural feel thanks to the editing you did, but now he needs a little bounce in his step. Vertical movement in a walking cycle can breathe an incredible amount of liveliness into a picture; even just a vertical shift of 1 or 2 pixels down when his feet are their furthest apart will do wonders.

Here's how I solved it for mine. More or less the same base.

Head bob, made hands smaller, and fixed the legs.
