A marked improvement-- These sprites are a LOT easier on the eyes. However, they're still all too static and flat. They don't have much in the way of life or animation; just a few moved arms here and there and slight expression changes. I think it'd be worth experimenting with some more animated characters to create more dynamic movements and designs. The poses are all basically the same, so a bit of variety, even something as simple as a slight turn, would do wonders for livening up the character.

Of this batch, I'd say Witnesses 1 & 2 are your most interesting designs. They're still pretty clear frankensprites, but they have the most interesting designs that beg a lot of questions, such as "who is this guy? Why is he wearing that? Is he gonna be friend or foe?" Stuff like that.

Sprites I suggest checking out for "motion" and "pose", would be characters like Ron DeLite, Klavier Gavin, Kristoph Gavin (who's all about conveying his personality from behind a single pose), and pretty much anyone from AAI and AAI2.

Good luck!

Thanks! Witness 1 and 2 were both designs I quickly sketched out on the bus on my way to collage to do games, media and animation. After the first trimester I will be in lessons on sprite animations so that would help, also thanks on the tips. look forward to hearing from you and others later.

Just a quick update, the sprite sheets have been updated.

I'm not a big expert on sprites, so I only can give you my optinion on this. I think the witness-sprites look very interesting, they clearly spread out this interesting-feeling. As for the other sprites, they seem a bit boring to me, rather flat and without any interest. This is only my optinion though! I think the witnesses are the only good sprites made, but the others look great too!

Naruhodo spritesheet, Used Mijimaru's Naruhodo sprite as a base, He gave permission.

will be adding to it.

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 10:20 am

Here are the animations.
Great work!

I just cleaned up some lines a little.

Added them to the album. (And I added his defense band to the animation too.

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 11:03 am

Thanks! They look great!

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 8:55 pm

ok, updating the naruhodo sprite sheet, Mij, do you think you could clean up the sprite a little? Im not too good at tracing whole bodies.

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 10:33 pm

You did the desks-lam one too!

I'd started that one and left it for today to finish XD

The hair and the collar looks great!
I have some tips. If your program can do this, hold the shift key, and just click at each point and it will draw a straight line between them. This can help neaten up lines.
Also try to touch sprites up once you think they're done. This way you can see the image as a whole, and get better at learning what parts you find harder to detail.

dellenXlawyer · Post by **dellenXlawyer** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 6:06 pm

Actually this is not a desk slam sprite it's hand on desk sprite since it doesnt show the desk being slammed

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Sat Feb 14, 2015 11:10 am

So I got bored and decided to make an older wolfgang, what do you think?

i think the hair must have changed its color since he aged, i think a fantastic 4 kinda hair like the top is the same and the bottom is white-ish.

Spoiler:

Hair can be dyed, so I don't think that's the best indicator for age.

I think it looks good! Maybe a bit more light on the face, there's too much shadow (wrinkles are kinda hard to shade though

)

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 12:01 am

I decided to add a bit more shading, I hope that improved it a little.

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 12:06 am

Yup, there's a noticeable difference!

Now his face looks much better!

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 12:10 am

I dont know weather anyone noticed but I fixed the shading on his body too, Personally i thought it made his chest look too far down.

SilverGS · Post by **SilverGS** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 11:01 am

The face and the tweaked shading are much better !
But I have a problem with the outlines of the suit : They're brighter than they should be. Also, the shading around the tie seems pillow-shaded and therefore weird. You should fix these, that kind of details really makes sprites look "clean" ^^

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 9:14 pm

Ok i darkened up the outlines and fixed up the tie, any better?

lx1.ica · Post by **lx1.ica** » Sat Feb 21, 2015 9:36 pm

is that a scar?

Mileswright · Post by **Mileswright** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 1:42 pm

looks good. Although, I'm not a fan of your wolfgang sprites, it still looks good.

Yeah it is, its from one of his previous cases in Germany when he was attacked during an investigation of a German restaurant.

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:49 am

Hey guys, just posting 2 minis I made for wolfgang. The one with the black t shirt is his work/court attire and the red t shirt is his casual attire.

Also I updated the front wolfgang sprite sheet.

Spoiler: front wolfgang

EDIT:
Here is a sprite sheet I have been adding to every hour and then. The origional sprite used was created by Nocturnal_Swinger so credit goes to her for the sprite.

dellenXlawyer · Post by **dellenXlawyer** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:59 am

The sprite seems nice but if u used lamiror's poses it would have been better

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 4:06 pm

I'll probably do that later on when I get to the point where I HAVE to work on it, as most of the sprites I post on this thread im using for a fan game.

also I made a Wolfgang smiley. I'm just finding all these old files that I have.

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:34 pm

I changed the angry pose a tad bit. hopefully it looks ok.

Mileswright · Post by **Mileswright** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 12:53 am

You used edgeworths face? Maybe

Hey backburner, thx for making the oldman defendant sheet, I referenced it to draw one of my in-process sprites.

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 5:54 pm

No probs, I mainly used von karmas head and miles's body

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 11:19 pm

Hey guys, I made a co counsil sprite for wolfgang. I mainly used the AAI sprites then de-colourised them.
