Hey there guys. I'm bored as all get out, and it's the day before classes start again. So, I played Commander Keen 1 - 6 and a special mod that is basically commander keen 7.
So after all this nonsense, I go into my handy-dandy graphic creatin' program and get to work. I drew Keen, then for kicks, and idle animation. Here's Keen: 
Here's the animation: 
Any crits I can get on the animation, or even the basic structure of the sprite would be great. Going to get to work on some tiles, and maybe a run squence now, though. Also, I know I shouldn't have black lines at all, letalone inside the sprite, but I'll change that later. |

I <3 Commander Keen. Your little guy is kinda cute, but in my (very humble) opinion the idle animation has way too much motion. It looks like he's doing some kind of dance  . I think it's hard for such a small size, where two or three pixels of movement is really a lot when he's only like 10 pixels wide.As for basic structure of the sprite, it's got a decent cartoony feel with a unique style, but maybe it would look a little better if you thickened up his arms&legs a bit? Anyway keep up the good work |
