I think you would have to look at your gif saving software why the frames are overlapping. Find the right settings or get some other software, this is terrible :(

We're seeing all the different frames on top of each other, instead of one at a time. Makes it hard to comment.

Don't worry, it does not mean that you are dumb!

Yes, it is cool that you posted the single frames, but still the animation needs to be fixed. Have a look at the animations you posted here, instead of on your ipad software. You will notice there is something quite wrong with them!

If not, it is more likely that your computer is displaying it differently from ours than that you are dumb.

Onto the artwork:
The character is okay, could use some work, especially on the colors but it is not nececary. Why did you choose to give his hair the same color as his body? I now do not know if it is hair or a cap of some kind. I would prefer pure black.
You do however seem to need some help on the animation, but it would be easier for me to crisisize if the animations were fixed!


In the meanwhile, you could make the red more interesting:




Good luck!

i did my homework and after some research i can say that you are all using firefox :P
i'll dig into that but, if you can, please open *any* other browser (i've tested IE, safari and chrome). i'll try to fix that.

before reading your comment i was trying to do this.

i made it in 6 frames, i'll work on the 8version... probably i'll change shades as in the test above or the legs will not be recognizable.
i'll work on the arms too, thanks

I had to much problem with the size of this guys so i decided to scale them up a bit. since these are the first sprites it has "no" impact.
here is the updated standing sprite:

and the updated walk animation(still unshaded):

animation is still 6 frames but it's not to bad...is it?
anything to report ?

i did some edit to follow your suggestions,
it still need refinements, but i think it's much better, thanks:

now it's 8 frame and the back leg is lifting

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that!
I'll get back to work in 18 hrs, after ....uhm... Work :P
Slapwel (my dutch sucks)
Oh and i get that your dutch from the url on your sig.
I'm no stalker :P

The trick to walk cycles is that you animate them moving across the screen, and once it works you just plop it all on the same spot for a cycling effect.

Those colors seem fine.  Made an edit to try'em out.  I changed a few things around to give you more ideas.  Also knocked the colors down to 11.

yeah looks alot better with those colours

i tried a different coloring.
still long way to yours, i've always hated coloring since i was a kid and it shows :P

thanks for your appreciation. i agree with you: goggles still needs work, also the skin should be fixed.
