Hey Everyone!
It's been a long time since I posted anything, but I wanted to post some sprites and get some (hopefully constructive) criticism.
I had been PMing SmithyGCN a long while ago when I originally got this idea for a game, and he was giving me some pointers on animation for the main character. About a month into trying to make the main character's animations look good, I got buried with work responsibilities and didn't have much time to work on sprites. 6 months later, I'm back at it! But only one tiny detail... I lost the USB drive that I was using and it had all my work on it. Luckily, I still have the animations that I was throwing at Smithy, and I will post them here for C+C as well. But in the mean time, I decided to make some of the NPCs while I scavenge my house, car, work, and other whereabouts looking for this darn USB.
I have been working on the storyline and character designs throughout the months, so I guess I never really stopped 100%. I like where the story went, and am very pleased with it. That motivated me to hop back on this project.
Anyway, here are 3 characters I have:
(Main character is in red)
The design is supposed to be a futuristic/apocalyptic cowboy kind of deal.
I'm trying to make it stylized and have a 4 color limit (and I cheated and have been using the black outline) for the characters.
I have the designs for both of these NPC characters drawn out, and I will upload them when I get a chance.
But a sidenote: The first guy has a green dragon mask to cover his face. I worry that it's readability isn't that good if you don't know what your looking at.
I'm really looking for C+C on the NPCs right now because the purple character, which is supposed to be a girl, is irking me. There is something that I don't like, and I can't figure it out. Maybe looks too manly?
Animations:
Idle (Old version, you can see I changed the style later on... gotta find that USB.)
Running
WIP Running with gun
Anyway, that's is all I have right now. I'd love to hear everyone's feedback!
