Socoder -> Art and Sound -> Pixel artist

Surely there is somebody who is halfway good at pixel art so they can help me fix my terrible running man image into something worthwhile?

this is what I have now:



I'm pretty much stuck on the game's progress until I can make the feet in the animation look half-decent so he actually looks like he's running.

You will notice how each individual frame looks nice, but one of the feet hardly moves at all when he is animated.

You could try using 'rpg maker' character sets. Or maybe some of the character battle animations.

You'd have to search around for them.

The feet animate terribly, that's the problem. you'll notice in the running frames one of the feet hardly moves.

animating feet is just hard period with such small sprites. i say once you get something decent let it go. with practice you will get better and plus no one will really notice. have you seen the old mario ones? they move a few pixels and that is it

Your problem is that you're hardly moving the feet, but the arms are swingly wildly. Take that same over-exaggeration and let his feet swing like crazy!
Alternatively, take the Cartoonish "Rotating Feet" approach.

Thank you! Great idea!


By the way Jay, I noticed the site went byebye there for a second. Was that just me or were you doing something?

I was trying to re-upload a script, but since I had Bittorrent downloading some more JPop vids, the thing took ages uploading! Then it messed up, so I had to do it again, and again..
I eventually closed uTorrent down, and managed to get the job done quicker!

Ok, I did the player totally from scratch and I'm pretty happy with what I came up with:



I took out the ducking 'cause I realized it was kind of pointless.
