ZOMG iron giant

[Luiakyn]

ok, I hope that concludes the back. It feels a little weird, but I'll check it later to see how I can fix it. I tried to bend the arms, not sure how well it shows : /

Update:



The main problem is I have to use this stance as them middle frame (notice the feet)

[Kuraudo Sutoraifu]

Great job so far!!!  I think the reason the back animation looks forward is that he looks like he has a thumb coming out of the back of his left hand.

[Archael]

I like the back plating alot

[Luiakyn]

Good eyes. I'll fix that.

Also found out I was doing the foot wrong all along. The "thumb" was me putting the part of the foot as the hand

As so:

[Luiakyn]

Well, prealpha version is "done," but so far it's giving me hell to even see it in Shishi's sprite editor. And I'm currently not in the mood to spend a great deal of time on it.

Colors may need fixing, as PSP recolored alot of parts... I just don't remember how to fix it. It also needs to be rearranged. I understand the jump looks awkward. I also fear that I made certain frames too big.

So generally I just want to know what I need to fix before I do anything else.

[Zozma]

looks great tho

[Luiakyn]

thanks let's hope there's not too much more to fix.

[Archael]

good good

all I would say is the walking animation arm angle - issue

but besides that it's perfect imo imo imo imo imo

[Luiakyn]

Gotcha. Wasn't sure if I fixed that or not. I'll make it more apparent.

[Cheetah]

Looks pretty freaking slick. I can't wait to see this guy in motion.

[CidIII]

Don't forget:

[Luiakyn]

Holy snarf that is beautiful

Ok, how's this?

Update: Added in front, and I redid the back, again.

[Kuraudo Sutoraifu]

Luiakyn, you done FFT a great service.

[Archael]

Holy snarf that is beautiful

Ok, how's this?

amazing

[Luiakyn]

Awesome, glad to hear : D

Update: That portrait is 62 colors :O

I'm currently working out the bugs (frames). So far not bad :O

[dwib]

you are an amazing person
luiakyn > curu any day
i dont know why we thought curu was cool. she was conceited too and though she was the best. luiakyn is totally modest while still bomb as hell.

[Luiakyn]

Thank you for the kind words : )

I've never met Curu O.o

Edit: I don't think I'm better than her : | She seems to rock.

[SentinalBlade]

She is the one that did that portrait

Everyone thinks Voldemort scared her off, but she said she had some business to take care of and she would be gone for a long time.

Also, she wasnt exactly a hacker, or a real sprite editor, she mostly did portraits...i dont think she was aware of the color limitations

[Luiakyn]

Ah, she's pretty good. I just don't know how to convert portraits properly XD So if anyone can do it and add it, that'd rock.

I've tested nearly everything, save "jump." The main problem with Worker 8 is that it has more than one style of attack (i.e. Drill-hand, "dispose"). I guess you could just repeat the attacking animations.

Video of Iron giant's first day (fixed wierd video glitch):

[SentinalBlade]

Most of those attacks are held in iron.sp2

which you sprite normally, just keep in mind that it is linked to the animationss...

like crush will need to use the crush animation when using iron.spr... so if you want "catastrophe" as a new animation, place it over crush and remember to call it in the effect box as crush.

mainly, if you ever feel up to the strenous task of super fancy animation, just go ahead and edit the .sp2

Edit: at 22 seconds your video messes up btw.
