 Everyone's favorite ball of goo (and arguably one of the most recognizeable video game characters) has always had a soft spot in my heart. For the thousands upon thousands of these little buggers I have slain just to get to level 5 in any given game; it is now my turn to give back to ye. Your big staring eyes 

 

This was a bit of a challenge as I had to somehow mesh the differing art styles of Toriyama(Dragon Quest), and Sugimori(Pokemon) into something that looks familiar to both, yet retains its own style.

If you're confusd by all the colors here's the species breakdown:

Males are the common blue slimes, Females are the RedSlimes(Known as She Slimes in the later DQ titles), Shiny males use the Metal color(Known as Metaly/Metal Slime ingame), and the Female shiny sprites use a copper color. Even though it never appeared ingame, I ran out of slime colors to use. :(

I kow the second frames don't make much sense by themselves, but look at te animation and all will be revealed. :)

If you really want to see all the distorted frames, you can just open it up in an animation program.

I really think this does a nice job mimicing the style, KoA. Kudos! Looks like it would be right at home in that game!

Dunno if the back sprites capture the goopy look quite as good as the front does though, so it could be worth taking another crack at.

 Since the animation sequences that the pokemon games use simply distort and skew only two frames, the sheet does indeed include all of them.

I merely posted the animation as a preview to show how the two sprites are animated together as they would appear ingame. (not like they ever would.

How does it not make sense? One is an animation. The other is a model sheet with a few color variations. They're completely different. It's not like the sheet has every frame, either.

 better together in one go, doesn't make sense if he does that. besides preview does the job, and main piece shows the makeup of it plus more, perfect way to show if you ask me.

I think the animationand model sheets would have been better as seperate submissions. I really dislike misleading thumbnails.

Wow, very cute, I like the concept of this, too. Great idea, and the preview animation looks like it could actually be in one of the Pokémon games.

I love Slime, (especially SpotSlime) so it's cool to see some pixels of it. *thumbsup*
