This is a basic run cycle for the main player character for my new GBA WIP Legend of Iya (the game was developed quite far along on PC, but was completely scrapped and started anew on the handheld system). While I am proud of the animation quality, the color use is on a wasteful side here. Maximum sprite size is 40x40. Frame count is 16.

Nice animation. So cute

tecnologgamer (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 5/19/2018 15:40

Incredibly high detail in low resolution

Awesome \o/

Reive (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/5/2018 11:59

Awesomesauce!

jimdraws (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 3/16/2016 17:20

Great animation, love how natural the hair and back of the jumpers movement look in relation to the running.

Sizgan (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/31/2016 00:16

Awesome job

Lucetta (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/20/2015 12:21

I admire your skill. You've made good use of what few pixels you have to make the running loop stand out.

saulc12 (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 10/28/2015 06:22

Nice bouncy animation on this for both the run and the secondary animation of the hair, very fluid too, excellent

DragonDePlatino (Level 5 Detective) @ 10/8/2013 17:57

Whoaaaa very dynamic, man! I'd definitely play a game with this in it. :D

shivudhamu (Level 3 Hatchet Man) @ 11/8/2012 04:44

outstanding dude.....!

ne0xel (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/29/2012 10:48

This looks amazing.

Seki (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/18/2012 00:40

16 frames, that must have taken quiet a while, but the end result looks fantasic!

Bam112 (Level 1 Intern) @ 5/29/2012 17:19

Perfect animation!

SeitoWashiro (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/5/2011 06:42

wow, its so perfect *0*!

MCSuire (Level 1 Intern) @ 12/28/2010 13:33

That is pretty cool. Very nice job.

XxRukiriXx (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/28/2010 00:55

If I had to say anything it'd be the dark outline, I'd lighten it up to fit the rest of the sprite.

I do agree on the colors, but it's fluid animation!

Geti (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 7/20/2010 23:12

reminiscent of megaman zero, but you've likely had that once or twice over 4 years.

gameproducer (Level 1 Intern) @ 7/16/2010 02:21

Awesome animation

ATM (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/23/2009 23:51

How smooth of hair,particularly this tail! It's so wonderful...umm...

Cherry101 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/10/2009 16:30

i really like what you did with the animation DarkfalzX!

conact Cherry101 please!

Peeter (Level 4 Button Man) @ 4/30/2009 15:26

Nice, smooth animation.

saggiofilosofo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/4/2008 05:05

Exellent animation! The smooth hairs and dress are simply perfect!

strawberry21 (Level 1 Intern) @ 4/8/2008 19:41

she likes to run alot

toranome (Level 1 Gangster) @ 12/10/2007 12:54

She's sooo cute! And her running is so bouncy! bounce..bounce..bounce..bounce..

konix (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/14/2007 12:25

This is excellent. Probably the smoothest pixel animation I've seen.

Itatsu (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 8/7/2007 23:40

Wow, the motion flows so well.

hoangxiao (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/6/2007 09:42

Smooth

the_power_of_rage (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/20/2007 18:34

RUN! GIRL!!! RUN!!!!!!! RUNNNN GIRL RUN!!!

Stan20 (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 7/15/2007 14:58

Good animation
5/5

pain (Level 9 Nidan) @ 7/1/2007 00:38

great anim ... give us more ...

DarkfalzX (Level 7 Assassin) @ 4/6/2007 11:11

Pixeljockey - thank you for your generous offer, but as of right now I have an excellent programmer working on a Nintendo DS version of my game. Perhaps I'll post a link to a ROM here or in a forum once there is stuff to do in the game other than just running around: )
Thank you guys for saying nice things: )

drr (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 4/1/2007 04:45

Awesome animation.
Character reminds me of Mint from Threads of Fate(PS1 Game)

pixeljockey (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/25/2007 09:42

I like this one. And the ingame-mockup is cool too.
If you are talented pixelpusher who is desperately
in search of a programmer (Win,Mobile,Flash) to
make the gfx come alive in a game, im a programmer
who is desperately in search of pixelpushers who would
like to collaborate on any kind of game-project.

Josiah (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 3/19/2007 19:10

ridiculous animation , makes it hot <3

Rikas (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 12/13/2006 22:51

Great!!

Looks like a jump and run, but looks nice!

brod'tam (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 12/2/2006 13:00

Tons of respect for this superb piece of art and animation

Rin'ji (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/7/2006 23:22

owns !

w000000000w

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) @ 11/2/2006 15:51

I love this more and more every day. You're a huge inspiration to me.

neota (Level 8 Shodan) @ 11/2/2006 03:41

This is rather wonderful. My only crit: it could be improved by giving a slight impression of bounding (to replace the current slight impression of sliding)

MichaS (Level 1 Depressed) @ 10/29/2006 03:57

That beguile not know say. Animation is very liquid . I love your style. Great shading :) 7/7

DarkfalzX (Level 7 Assassin) @ 10/27/2006 13:48

Thank you guys: )
I mostly used ProMotion for this. Might have edited some of the frames in Photoshop to accentuate some details, but, yeah, mostly ProMotion.

Blingsize (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/27/2006 12:55

IM GONNA ASK YOU SOMETHING WHICH PROGRAM CAN YOU DO LIKE THIS STUFFS

PKT (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/27/2006 07:56

Hehe, very cool run-cycle. You really know the aspect of weight. Many forget this, the way the hair whips, the head flows forward when she lands etc. Very good job.

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) @ 10/27/2006 07:28

Truly an amazing job again. The movement is aww inspiring. fav

Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 10/27/2006 06:02

Great job. Wonderful sense of weight.

ahayweh (Level 1 Depressed) @ 10/27/2006 05:51

simply amazing. Rivals much of the animation seen in hi-quality games. Very nice.

Plunk (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/27/2006 05:35

Baby run!

Baby run run!

Baby run!

Mirre (Level 9 Whale Shark) @ 10/27/2006 04:26

That is absolutely lovely, and so smooth! My only crit is that it might be a bit slow. Now it's almost as if it's in slowmotion, or gravitationless running on the moon.

EyeCraft (Level 3 Stalker) @ 10/27/2006 03:34

Holy craaaaaaaaaap. Thats just fantastic! It has such a feeling of momentum to it, I really really love it

. I agree with Sohashu about the hair highlight, though.

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/27/2006 03:21

Wow! That's is really, really nice! Adding that to me favs

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 10/26/2006 23:54

Brilliantly smooth animation. I love it.

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 10/26/2006 22:02

Awesome work. I think you should dull up the hair highlight a little though.

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 10/26/2006 21:42

Jay-zeus!!! Your animation abilities are too damn sweet!! If I could crit anything, it would be that brightest color of your pallete seems to "blob" back and forth on the face when we see a clear view of the face. I'm pretty sure this was meant for a light source to be hitting the face, and you didn't want to add any extra, light skin tone, so you made due with your current pallete at hand. Nothing against pallete conservation, but I think it's just a strange effect your having at the moment. Also her right leg seems to scrunch inside the dress( or shorts I guess) like a slinky, when it is midlined with her body....But the level of detail, and flow of the clothes just completely over shadows these tiny flaws(at least in my eyes)

....Supreme job...I could learn alot from your technique...
