You may remember my old topic where I tried to make a rpg character and a spell. That didn't went that well so asked for help from a friend and he helped me with my spriting skills( I am really thankfull for that).

@leath: its going to be an iso game

Yes clothing changes things, the base is good. I would add a neck (at least 1pixel high) this will come in handy when you make things like capes and collars and other stuff.

E:
These are a good example of iso sprites (made by bradido )

Notice yours are not really isometric, but fauxmetric, lol

Update:

god, animating is hard, and it still doesnt look good so i thaught i could get some help here.

Edited by dragonrc - 05 January 2007 at 8:48am

Looking good. The latest animation works well.

I made this yesterday, it looks terrible, i never was good at backview sprites, but that why I'm on these forums


And this is my latest version of the walking sprite

Hmm, I don't think the leg border-line should go all the way to the bottom. . . the foot should blend into the leg more

It's been a while, I'm pretty busy but i managed to make 2 updates 2 new versions(dont know if i improved em or not...)

Looking good!

if you must show a part of the face, show an ear.  or google for some photos of people looking at stuff, like tourist photos, and get an idea of what is visible at that angle...  the 4th looks like the one you need

An early version of the walking-back sprite. It walkes kind a little staticly...

An edit with the help I got from pixalation.(the arms and legs were moving in the same direction at the same time) 

Edited by dragonrc - 21 January 2007 at 2:30am

Thanx for the edit entivore , although I don't really like the edit on the feet I like what you did with the arms.

 

Feet: As far as I can see you edited 3 things that I don't really like,

1. you positioned the feet different, but now it looks like they are moving more horizontal instead of diagonal

2. you made the legs shorter, but they look too short now..

3. something with the left leg, it's just like it's growing or something

But your leg-edit wasn't for nothing, I edited some parts. You'll see the new sprite below.

 

For the arms, I like what you did with them, although I'm not going to use it for the walking sprite I will use it if there will be a running sprite because they don't really bend that far when walking. But your edit somehow made me realise the arms need improvement.

I also like changed we arm bending back like you did

Here is the result:

One of the odd things about the souldier is that his butt doesn't really move. I don't know about you, but when I walk my buttcheeks (for lack of a better word) move just as much as my legs do. Maybe more animation int hat area would make it look more realistic.

haha! I dont think those round things are his butt though, to me it looks like part of the top.. metal thing... yeaa.  But you do have a point there, I was actually thinking that his thighs should move more, not just everything from the knees down, but wasn't sure enough to actually post it. 

LOL wtf? XD

anyways.. I know it's part of the armor but... it would still move slightly. It still looks kind of static though.

It just seems like you've randomly made his buttcheeks move... I think you should think more about what's going on when you're walking. .. I'm not sure how to really explain it... maybe reread leel's post?

No, actually, the animation is a lot smoother now.  I think it looks good! :)

@snader

yeah I noticed. I'll fix that when the animation is finnished

 

Update:

 

 

 

The legs aren't 'sliding' anymore now

Color:

A few comments. in the walking up right motion, his butt is big and shiny. one more thing, make that town boy a backwards walk, willya???
