A couple of Minkoff Battlers (11x4)

[Strath]

I just whipped these up yesterday using GroudyOgres template and thought I'd post em here for criticism. Note that Young Pedro has no "move to" or "move from" animations. This is because he is a ranged attack battler. Also the Barbarian's item, winning pose and block animations are just copies of other lines, seeing as I am using him as an enemy and he doesn't really have any need for these sequences. They aren't the best quality but if you would like to use them for your own non-commercial games feel free. I'll be making many more for my game "Blood of Heroes" so if you like em keep an eye out in the future for others. Thanks to GroudyOgre for the template and DerVVulfman for his Animated Battlers script for VX. Enjoy!

HERES WhAt I SeE:
1. Needs some shading REAL BAD!
2. Hair looks like a rag with no shading, no light, and no high lights.
3. Cloths have no wrinkles.
4. Why use that kind of green for hair? Try using a darker green.
5. DON'T make his hair move unles you make some of his cloths move, becuase that just makes it seem like his hair is alive. If his hair was not meant to move then fix up your pixels!

6. GOOD LUCK!

Nice job!

Yeh I know. I tried to fix these problems but I have no skill as a spriter! So i thought I'd just leave em be. As for the green hair, I like it..... lol. He's a punk barbarian.

I'll try and make the clothes move a bit, seeing as I really like the "blowing in the wind" effect.

Thanks for the input!

np!

One question, why did you supersize the template?
You should never do that to a template, it makes it all pixely.
Anyway, if You want I can post a quick tut, for you ether today or tomorrow, on shading, and hair?

ok?

It's fine if you not, "The Best Spriter" No matter what you think, anyone can sprite, if you can make a circle or even draw a triangle then you can sprite. =)

I thought the battlers were a bit on the small side so I increased the template by 50%. Actually I tried blowing it up more so I could add detail and then reduce it back down again but this caused even more pixelation :S Of course I'm only using MS paint so that may be part of the problem.

And yes a tutorial would be very helpful if you have the time thank you!

Edit: I made a small pic showing you how the wind effect should work hope you understand it:
