Working on an other low res character.

Say hello to Mr. Bonk:

Mostly it would be nice to hear some improvement on the character, the background is just something I threw together so he wouldn't feel lonely. I'm probably either going to make a bigger scene, game mock-up or an animation of this before adding it into the gallery :3

Latest walkcycle:

[If I ever get a game made out of this]:
- Flash based so I can port it later to iPhone
- Some RPG elements (stat adding)
- Knowing myself, some perverted jokes.
- Platformer style, hopefully with some random variables
- Hard.

EDIT:
- Added an alternative shading.
- Made a small adjustment to the hair!
- Made the post a bit cleaner...
- Animation previews revised
- Hands added to animation (bigger size in a post below)

	Hello, Mr. Bonk. Looks nice, not much to change I think. Maybe that missing butt pixel is not necessary, tried both, can't decide. The flower needs serious desat, esp the green.

	Thanks for the comment! Totally agree on the flower, though it's also mostly a placeholder. I see what you mean by the butt pixel, but I think it's a bit more "posish" without it :) [Edited main post!] Edited by smk - 15 December 2009 at 6:33pm

	3 is the best in my book! 4 and 1 jerks too fast, makes it look like he's limping or something :P I'd recommend another darker shade of brown for shading the hair... considering everything but his hair is shaded, I believe it looks odd without the hair shaded. I like the sprite! Keep up the good work :D

	Only checked #3 which looks best. 2 things: - frametime = 0 when opened in ImageReady. Not a good option if you can do anything about it. It looks fast at 0.1", slow at 0.2", ok at 0.15". - make sure both legs are clearly different. I'd say have more contrast between them and scrap shading there, just 2 flat different tones. It's so small shading would only confuse things. Also, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to work without the arms. But since I've never sprited, I don't really know!

	Thanks Manupix, greatly appreciated. About the framerate, you're correct about that, I'll fix that in the final version. Though if I'll make a game out of the character it'll be in flash, so then the frame rate will be more thought upon :) I'll try what you said about shading the legs though! Though not sure if I'm going to drop shading entirely, but I'll atleast try how it looks if the legs are colored differently! (I tend to forget that the 0 frametime often glitches in browsers :'<) EDIT: Oh yeah, about the arms, it's easier to animate in steps imo. First the legs then the arms (and uppertorso/head) and then small things like hair movement and whatnot! :) EDIT: Reshaded the legs and hair in the top post nao :3 Edited by smk - 16 December 2009 at 11:49am

	this could use a buncha more contrast. I couldn't tell apart the old/new versions at first. also, more shading mayhaps?
