Hi... I'm a Flash designer who's currently tinkering around on a small game. Now hold your horses; this isn't one of those "lol make me RPG spritez NOW" sort of posts; the coding is well underway, but I just can't draw very well in Flash, and my sprites look stupid. What I need is some sprites for some top-down swimming animations for a few fish. I figured it would be boring to have normal fish, so you can be creative and make weird alien/fantasy creatures or whatever...just nothing cartoony. I honestly am not even really biased about what they are; I just want something to paste in, so the graphics don't look like they were drawn by a 7-year-old. The pay would be a credit only, but then again, this is very little work, with very few constraints. Just 5-10 little animated gifs would be plenty. Please let me know! |

| Oh sorry...they're fairly small, around 80x80 to 140x140, but I've got room for change in there. |

Hey d-p, that fish looks great (and is really cute), but in my original
post I said that my sprites neeted to be top-down. I know that's
a little hard for thin fishies like that one, but something like a
shark, or a fatter fish would still work. But I still do really like that fishy. |

Shark- That thing looks great. Make it a little meaner-looking (without being too over-the-top), and maybe try to get more of a wriggle instead of just switching from side to side (to make it smoother). Other than that, once it's shaded, I think it'll be perfect for my first predator. Thanks! d-p- I'd love any kind of smaller prey fish you could do, like a seabass or grouper or something. I'd nreally appreciate it. And if anyone gets even more creative, it would be great to have some sort of weird squid, and a few other odd-looking fish, to spice up the game a bit. |
