my first sprite edits~

[Seda]

Well, here we go! This is my first sprite edit. This is supposed to be an attacking animation of a character sprite I am using.
Comments? Critique?

Hmm, pretty good, but i think that it should have the weapon he swings in the animation...

 

[Seda]

well the thing is, in my game, he uses multiple weapons (1 handed swords, 2 handed swords, daggers), so I'm not sure how I would go about animating those.

thanks though!

make a sprite using every weapon. think about movement and how a person would swing/utilize a particular weapon. If you need to you could look at my avatar for inspiration.

I would be probably be more willing to animate each weapon if i could tell what the person decided to equip in the game. ;^^

all of them. you use a script or event system to determine what the player has equipped, then change the sprite accordingly; you still need to animate all the weapons.

to me, the gray slash looks a bit blurry, usually when spriting you want sharper edges. there are some example of attack animations around here if you dig. im sure you could use them as an example.

 

[Seda]

Hmm... Sweet, thanks for the info!

So if I go off and do some more sprites (with weapons) should I post them in this same room, or should I start up another?

I like it. A nice recolor (edit). I like the colors you used.

 

[Seda]

Hmm.. It wasn't really a re-color (I don't think). I just took a sprite I found when looking around for sprites, and made an attacking animation out of it. o_o

Thanks though I guess? XD

The sprite doesn't look right, like the way he's standing with his feet pointing one direction, and his head looking another direction really bugs me, and the fact that he's standing still doesn't help :P

However the sprite itself is a pretty good design as far as the look of the character itself, but fix its head/feet and if you can try to make it look like he's really swinging a sword. Yes, feel free to dump all sprites related to this sprite in the same topic, that way you can later have your own 'gallery' of these as you progress.

Keep on workin on it man, there's lots of opprotunity for improvement :thumb:

 

[Seda]

Well, I was trying to make him look like he stands to the side before he attacks (sorta like a fencer's pose), but I know what you mean, it kinda bugs me too, I just couldn't figure out how to fix it (The front and back views seem fine to me, but its more of the side views).

And, awesome I will go ahead and dump what I can in here for further critique. =D

Thanks much for the input!

i might have some templates of animated battlers. I'll post them once I find them.

 

[Seda]

That would be much appreciated!
I am trying to animate a weapon here, and the slash just won't come out right >.<
