The Resource WIP Thread 3 This thread is meant for users who are creating, or editing their own resources, to post their work-in-progress (abbreviated to WIP) and get feedback on their work such as criticism, advice or simple comments. If you have any game screenshots or maps to show off (including video trailers), please post them in the Game & Map Screenshot Thread.

When posting your WIP in this thread, please remember that you allow other members to edit that work for criticism. 3. Any work posted in here is not up for grabs and it solemnly belongs to the original creator. Yes, this means you cannot use any resources posted here for yourself, unless it is meant for giving criticism.

@hiddenone Omg it looks so much better with the thicker neck. Thank you!!!
I'm sticking with 3-frame, since I'm not the most experienced with messing around with plugins.
Plus I already have a 3-frame female base and dunno how hard it'd be to have half the sprites 4-frame.. Definitely harder than just putting the sprites in the programs as they are.

Not too sure how to make the legs bigger without making them too big...
I tried, but imo it looks really weird. I've worked on it a bit and have 4 versions, thick, thin, and 2 mixed. They kinda just blur together, dunno if that's cause I've looked at them so much now though.
Dunno which version looks best.

gasp no pants

@Elissiaro I'm happy that the neck adjustment helped you. :) If you want to stick with 3 frames that's totally fine, I know that plugins can get confusing.

As for the legs, I think it's less their thickness and more that their length doesn't really match up with the torso's length. Try lifting the his crotch up a few pixels and I think it'd be easier to decide which legs work best. I did some quick edits to the legs to show what I mean:

@hiddenone I lifted the crotch a tiiiny bit, cause I'm so happy with the torso, I don't really wanna mess it up at all, and I also dont wanna make him taller.
Also tried widening the stance a bit, cause it looked better standing still with the wider hips imo, but it might have made the walk a bit wonky, I dunno.

Anyways here's the 3 different legs I've got now (Bowlegs, thicc, skinny).
And also my female base sprite for comparison. I can't decide which one looks best. Either bowlegs or thicc. Will probably use the skinny legs for a less buff version maybe.

Hello, guys...!

So... a long time ago I tried my hand ar pixel art and sprites...

This one Here...

But never got to finish it...

:MV4:

So now I decided to redo it instead of continuing, as some mistakes that I found, ended up being because I was making with the clothes...

So here is how it is now... In all its naked glory... :kaopride:

I only changed the arms, it seems...

Tell me what you guys think... Any tips or suggestions? :kaoswt:

Thanks a lot~....

Maybe have it seem like the arms aren't moving so far back so that they don't look so fast and match the legs pacing

Okay, thank you, J-G... I see now what you're talking about...

I tried to fix the arms acording to what you said:

How does it look? should I make it closer to the body?

Thank you for the help~ :VXA2:

Arms look much better! Now try and see if you can make the legs move 1 pixel further back so that it looks a bit more like a walk. Since at first glance it only looks like it's picking them up. Also may a slightly darker shade for the illusion of it.

Hey, J-G!

I did the modifications, what do you think? I made the shade a tone darker, think its good or should I try a little bit darker?

Thanks, you're helping me a lot! :kaojoy:

So much better! I think it's great now. Now if you want, you can add shade details or leave as is. This depends on you and your needs.

Now its time to make the left/right movement...

This is what I have for now...

The only detail I can see here is maybe giving the knee a slight bend, since without it, it kinda looks robotic. Very stiff legs lol. Arm movements look good on this one

Okay, I tried doing slight bend... ...

Does it look right...? :kaoswt:

And thank you again~ You're great... :kaoluv:

Looks better, but maybe one more pixel in the bend to see how it looks. Since it still looks slightly odd
No worries, least I can do is help others when I can.

Okay, just one pixel... Does it look any different? :kaoback:

#997 Jan 28, 2020, 04:35 AM Source

Yeah, one pixel makes a difference. It looks better now

And here is the last one!

Thanks a lot~ Gonna follow you~ :kaoluv:

See if you can have one of the opposite arms when walking look like it's a little more towards the back, kinda like if it was facing forward, if that makes sense
The legs, maybe have the shadow a bit more centered and higher up, that way it doesn't look like it's walking forward but facing backwards.

Again, no problem, happy to help

I didn't really understand this time, but maybe its because I'm sleepy... I'll try fixing it tomorrow~ :kaojoy:

Okay, I tried what you told me, but I don't know if I did it right? :kaoswt:

I hope it at least look a little better? lol

Ok try removing one pixel of shade from the bottom on the bend, since I think it is still a tad long. After that I believe it will be good
