[Sprite] Jester!

[Jed37]

I just made this sprite, it's, quite obviously, a very simple mod of Woody. Still, I'm thinking of maybe making a char out of it later. Any criticism/comments/suggestions?

[snorsorbet]

Whoa, that does look pretty awesome ;D
The breathing is a bit exaggerated though, and his jacket is longer on our left side, which looks strange.

But yeah, this looks like a character which could turn out very entertaining ;D

Thanks! I think the breathing just looks that way because it turned out having too fast a framerate, although I'm not sure. The jacket is supposed to be longer on the left side, it's supposed to look strange

its quite a cool sprite
the only thing i would like to see is perhaps his arms moving just slightly slower than his torso, so he doesnt look so wooden.
or you could make them move outward 1 pixel.

but yeah, i like the left side being longer, its fits him as well as the colour scheme

[Jed37]

I changed the breating animation so the arms move a little slower, but I think that, if anything, that made it look even less natural.

I'd recommend getting rid of the grey outlines on the jester cap.

[Lauli]

Agreed. The outlines are bugging alot.

But other than that, he is pretty amazing! The colours go very well together, the idea of the two-coloured jacket is totally fresh!
Maybe you could give him more... artistic (?) shoes. You know. Not such plain grey shoes, but some coloured/painted sneakers, or I don't know.

[Jed37]

Thanks for the advice, Siegvar and Lauli. How's this?
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made the outlines in the first place.

And I changed the shoes! Now they're jester-like!

[Taniaetc]

His orange shirt part actually gets up more than the hand.
And shade the boots more.
Change the hair maybe?
But I just have one word; AWESOME! Hope this is gonna turn a char....

[Jed37]

There. One last improvement to the breathing animation. Now the only thing stopping me from making a whole character out of it is laziness!
