GANONFROG'S PROFILE

author=Mr.Nemo
instead of making actual progress on arbiter (you know, WRITING THE PLOT and such) i've been preoccupied with uh, spriting battleanimations for characters i'm not even sure will make it in

but for comparison, here's how the battlesprites looked in solar tear versus the new ones (they have a bunch of animations, but i'm sucky at making gifs)

i made a few more characters but i consider myself a pretty sloppy spriter; there's a bunch of lazy mistakes present in every frame. then again, i should be focusing on everything but graphics for now but w/e

I have to admit, these are looking a little off, mostly because of their proportions and poses. They both look very stiff, with blue haired girl holding an overly broad, uncomfortable looking stance with a confusing, uneven positioning of her arms. Her left arm also looks rather large compared to the rest off her body. Ponytail girl's pose is a little less awkward looking, but she appears to be leaning forward too far, mostly through the jutting out of her chest. I recommend moving that back by at least one block (You appear to be using 2x2 pixel blocks here, so keep everything consistent to that.). Ponytail also has a rather long face, even compared to Blue, up there. Again, I recommend shortening it by a block.

I do see what you're going for with the style though, making the battlers large versions of the 2003 walking sprites while keeping the blocky style of them. It's interesting, I think has potential to look good. You just need to find a balance between the style and proper proportions.

As interesting as the pose is, it looks extremely uncomfortable, if not impossible to keep her balance in.

I do like her costume though, and her hands are looking quite good.

The guy on the bottom with the sunglasses is looking more roughly sproted than the others. There's very little shading on him, the lighting of what shading there is looks incorrect, and a few bits of his body are looking a little blob-like. Mostly his hands and feet.

The boss also looks like he could use more thorough shading. There's just not enough variation in it, and a few spots, such as his big bicep, appear oddly shaped because of it. The lighting is also inconsistent again.

The others look pretty good, though.

I don't have anything insightful to say about this subject that multiple people who have far more of a right to haven't said already.

However, I feel the need to point out that in the posts feed, a long string of responses to this thread were immediately followed by one on something called "allthegay.png".
