Pixel Joint Forum: Explosions

   Hi! I'm now trying to make my first pixel style game. "Panthera Commando"

The current thing I'm now struggle with is to make a decent explosion effect. I've managed to make some variations here. 

Do you guys have any suggestion on these? of how to improve them or any better ways to do explosion/effect animation?

btw, here's some character animation test!

	I have never tried explosions and only just started walk cycle but here is what I see wrong: Explosions: They fall off too quickly, they are gone just as fast as they appear, they need to fade out much slower, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qPX8eXjedQ Walk Cycle: The character looks to me as though they are limping, maybe bring the feet in closer to avoid this? Although that is a complete guess and not a solution. With that said though, awesome art.

	I'm new to this so I don't have much knowledge in this area, but I definitely agree with everything Latch said. Looks great though!
