[CHAR] Eragon [Need spriter] [UPDATED 3rd JAN]

[Reaper]

Ok, I think "Jierda theira kalfis" was break their shinbones or something.
And yeah, linking range and mana isn't that easy, but also not too difficult. Maybe you'll be able to do that when you are almost done. If you want to, I can tell you how it is exactly working. Basically you first use a catch move and if there is an enemy you can catch, there is something named "catchingact:" in the frame which leads you to the frame named behind, in this case the first spell frame with a special mana cost. But you are right: For the weaker moves it really isn't necessary.
Sköliro is what eragon said to the baby, but in the end she felt the misery of everyone around her. It's like incur or atttract. In my last post I just wanted to point out that skölir isn't what he actually said but what would have the effect of a shield.
And I wasn't talking about teirm. After the desert( the big one) he came to this waterfall and the giant urgls were hunting them. So he tried to attack them from far above. Now that you say it... It might have been mist what he casted. I can't remember exactly. But it was really exhausting because they were a mile away. And later on he threw big stones on them. I guess I've twisted those two things
Last thing: I didn't really mean avoiding, just something like a doge move he can use because he can read their minds. It's just strange to visualise.
Btw: Be shocked, I read all of it. For spriting I might give it a try, but I have a lot of projects myself( and a virus deleted quite some of my sprites, so I have to do them AGAIN) so I'm not sure whether I'll have the patience for it. We'll see. That thing with the jewels is a nice idea btw.

Sorry about the misunderstanding and thanks for reading. I'll talk to you about the range stuff later then, thanks for offering to help pls see if you have some time to sprite, if only a part of it. GL w/ your projects. I'll think bout dodging too. And yeah, it was mist. I think ii have an idea of how a stun-like effect could work. Proper stun might require editting all chars, but I could temporarily slow them down. This would be good in place of just jierda.

EDIT - Tried making an animation, didn't go well. So posted video of 2nd sword combo.

The sprites looks quite good, though the hair seems a bit flat to me. LF2-characters usually have very voluminous hair. I like the clothing, but maybe make the trowsers brown to prevent the sprite from becoming too grey.
I would go for Zar'roc though you can't use the move were his sword sets fire then. You should make it perfectly straight btw. Take the line tool if it doesn't work without. Oh and the left side of the vest is too bright( Nevertheless I really like the vest itself)
Had a little try myself by the way:

Zar'roc +eyes should look different but for a single sprite like this it doesn't matter anyway.
I think the farmer outfit is in general better, because his whole clothing when he wears the armor is dark purple/dark grey(silver)/black. That's a bit boring in my eyes.
Edit: A very( very very...) fast one with Dennis as a base:

$==(400) posts !!!

[FuroxZX]

Awesome sprites! And yeah. I was trying to make his hair more like Eragon himself, forget to put the LF2 touch in it.

Does anyone have any conceptions of an elf robe? Coz he seems to wear that later on when he becomes a half-elf. That would be best IMO, since armour is too dark/boring and farmboy is way too much in the past.

Your zar'roc looks better, but I think it should be slightly longer and the hilt/whateva you wanna call it looks too ordinary.. There should be some jewel coming out from the other side. Did you do the first two sprites w/o a base? coz they look much better, Dennis's eyebrows are too thick... The second sprite looks more like Murtagh than Eragon - only need to darken the hair xD. So do you think you can help w/ the sprites? Maybe just a spritesheet or two if you can't do all?

Oh and one more Question - I think the movie also made zar'roc wrong. Since it was Morzan's blade, shouldn't the jewel be a ruby, not a sapphire as shown in the movie? I think it was also mentioned in the first description of Zar'roc when Brom shows it to Eragon, but not sure...

BTW gratz on 400 posts o.o




EDIT - BTW could you make a few sprites of a swamp of size around 600 W X Any height (Preferably as wide as the LF playing screen?)? Coz I've completed a move I thought up of, Deloi Moi which temporarily creates mud that slows down movement but doesn't do much damage, and lasts for a few seconds. (Can this be classified as something "Original" and not a copied move from LF2 chars?) I'm having trouble making some mud, it doesn't look good, I need something like a bubling swamp, and dissappearing frames in which it slowly gets smaller and dissappears.

[Madara Uchiha]

I think you should have the sword facing down, and not an edit of deeps. It would look much cooler.

[Reaper]

Edit of Deep's? I didn't even look at that one. It's 100% by me It looks like Deep's because Marty took a very common type of sword. Nevertheless Zar'roc looks different. But making it face down could be a good idea after all. Especially because it should be longer.
First two sprites are without a base, yes. The problem is that, if I make a spritesheet with these( which would take longer) and don't have the motivation to go on( I have two very mighty enemy's: School and Laziness. I guess you've heard about them^^), its hard for another spriter to go on, because he probably has a different style. Sprites would look very inconsistent then and seeing the character switching could be annoying. Plus I haven't that much experience in doing movement without a base. That's why using a base could be a better idea. Maybe another base would befit Eragon better, though...
Btw: The jewel is covered by the hand Well, I guess I should make it bigger.
Btw²: Are you searching for something like this?( gotta work on the edge)

Wow that is completely awesome, exactly what I wanted. Did you make it yourself or get it from somewhere? It reminds me of RuneScape lol. If you could make a few more frames, it would be awesome, if not I could just edit it myself.

For the sprites, I think it'll be fine if you use a base, then I'm pretty sure it could be continued by someone else. I also think Dennis is the best choice as a base, if you use something else I might have to go through all the frames (Walking, running, etc.) to make sure they have the right sprites numbered, because I think other chars' sprite sheets might have different frames at different numbers. That way the basic frames will remain the same and I won't have to edit them. Just thin Dennis eyebrows a bit and flatten his oversized head a bit and he'll be a perfect base for Eragon.

One mroe thing I did, when i was making the Eragon sprite, I put all the elements (Clothes, hair, jacket, etc,) On different layers, so it may be possible to copy, rotate and paste some pieces on every single frame. You could try that, just in case you were worrying about drawing every single frame.

[Reaper]

Ok, this is going to be my last post before I'm done with the standard frames.
The final Eragon will be looking like the one on the right, probably:

@FuroZX: I tried a Tunic, but it just didn't look well. What he got when he came to Ellesmera was a vest anyway.
If nobody has any suggestions/ critics, I'll go with that style.
Means that Zar'Roc is going to be this:

It isn't going to be a weapon you can summon( I think) so I didn't care much about where they all are. Some sprites need new shading, but I'll do that when i need them, it's just to show you how Zar'Roc will look like.
And in action:

combo-shrafe-ending? (Click to View)

I couldn't resist.
So yeah, if there are no critics I can just start working( or in fact I'm working now).
@FuroZX: I'm going to do the swamp, too, but there'll have to be some more sprites with the bubbles exploding and new ones rising + the disappearing frames so it will take some time. I guess it doesn't matter much anyway right now.
Btw: I had a try on the shockwave, too, though it's kinda awful. Anyway, is the general style what you are looking for?

shockwave (Click to View)

The last one is smudged and blurred. I think it looks better that way.

[FuroxZX]

Awesome work ^_^ the final Eragon and zar'roc are perfect, the combo shrafe ending is kinda weird, and i was thinking of a spinning sword-jump. I mean in the ending he jumps high while spinning his burning sword around him so it forms a column of swirling flames like julian's column. Thats just coz i want a column ending for his shrafe, and this is the only way it makes sense.

Ok, now about the arrow. in the first frame with the arrow, the blue ball is good, it should just be smaller. and the shockwave isn't how I imagined it :/. I'll make a draft for you in a while to show how I wanted it and how I imagined it.
