Hello everybody Im new in the pixelart world and I'm not good with this xD so I need somebody to help me with a free little project... ... the idea is to create a kind of animated Santa Claus pet for Windows Imagine a really tiny program you run and a small Santa Claus appears walking in your desktop all the time You can continue using ur PC and Santa Claus will still be there doing something I know how to 'code' it but i need the most important thing: the graphics  should looks something like this -->  (I really like this but got 3 differents positions only) Perhaps somebody could use that animated GIF and create more positions. As I said before is a free project. Anybody interested please contact me: MSN: lucianoaibar@telpin.com.ar of course I will put the credits for the artist  |

I wipped up an edit for you, I changed a lot of stuff around and added a bit of a black outline, made a new animation also, inform me if it is too fast. If you like then tell me the other diff positions and I will do, remember I'm doing this on spare time, so I can't spend a long time on them...

oh! thanks a lot man well... in fact I need santa walking, lauguing, crying, eaiting something, taking a shower, sleeping, hmmm for "walking" two images would be okey I think the idea is to let Santa Claus running in your desktop all day while you continue using the PC hehe by the way each animation should be 32x32 pixel width/height and perhaps you can add more contrast to the shadows (like in the original GIF) again thanks EDIT: I realize that 32x32 is not enough space for some animations use 64x64 for each pic |

ok, by the way, if you have any of his other sprites already done, can you post them so I know what kind of poses you want him in. by 2 images for the walking do you mean like one walking left then mirror it so he's walking right?
edit: like so-

is that where you want him for 64x64(in the middle bottom)?Posted By: lucianoaibar

man I love u ^^ excellent work  do not think about the 64x64 I will put each graphic in the correct position I need just remember when drawing for ex. santa taking a shower.. that the whole scene must fit inside a 64x64 box im uploading a first .exe in a few hours to show the progress remember: the light is coming from up-right side (look at santa's bag shadow) ? |

your graphics are amazing I like to post here the everyday progress but I need to chat with you about a little "blur" problem in some gifs while moving if you can, add me on MSN -> lucianoaibar@telpin.com.ar and I'll explain you better about that I got all day free and would be nice if we can finish today if possible |
