If this is a run animation, why not have him lean forward?

Okay, I've tried redoing the run animation. I figured it was mainly the amount of animation frames it had, so I reduced it to 6. So there's that and a few more animations done now. Cool-[i]ish[/i] fact is that the Game Maker Professional Edition upgrade I got in the humble bundle has onion skinning in the sprite editor(yep, I use that trash to make sprites), so now I've been using it to try making animations link together more smoothly.

I still feel like the run could have a bit more of a lean to it, but you gotta admit that the skid at the end is gorgeous!

I did try making him learn a bit farther forward, I think it works [img]http://s22.postimg.org/k328v5xgh/Main_Run.gif[/img] But right now, I'm putting Mario on hold to focus on Wario again. His old sprites didn't fit the gameplay I was going for anymore, so I decided to start redrawing them for that reason, and to properly be built around the new outfit. [img]http://s22.postimg.org/6sizfdw9t/Wario_Back_Again2.png[/img] The dog is put on Wario's head as a separate object in-game, so Wario won't be swinging his head around much anymore!

That new outfit seems interesting. It's like a mix between his old and new outfits.

I absolutely LOVE this Wario design.

The design is pretty cool, but I would touch up the colors a little more... (What is the dog supposed to be doing on his head, anyways?)

Hm...! So you'd mean the sprite color palette, or the outfit itself? Though I unfortunately don't know exactly what you mean, I tried a few things anyway, mainly with the color palette [img]http://s22.postimg.org/4p24ohbc1/Who_is_this_wa.png[/img] Not sure if any of them are quite right, but I hope it's going in the right direction Also, Wario's dog is planned to be used in a few stages of the game, where you can keep him on your head and throw him around in order to solve a few puzzles. Kinda like that old guy from Wario Land 4.

I think A's palette is pretty decent.

I like E's shirt. The red pants were pretty cool, too, but the two don't exactly go well together.

I personally think E's color palette is the best (blue seems to work with the color scheme better than black in my eyes). I like the design of the outfit, by the way. I also liked how you kept the color palette to a certain cap and reused some of the colors instead of adding some rather unnecessary colors. :thumbsup:

I like A and C the most.

Okay, seems like E would be best. The blue shirt does look better to my eyes as well. I also pulled a few color bits from A too. Here's how he looks now, I tried to cut down the amount of outlines inside the sprite to make it a bit more clear.

[quote="E-Man"] Hopefully, the dog doesn't mind getting punted about like a sack of potatoes, right?[/quote] Nah, he'll just curl into ball to be thrown like a rock. But he will bite if Wario actually attacks him. Also, I did some more work on the dog, mainly some ground movement.

A fat guy throwing a dog around, huh? Sounds familiar. [spoiler][img]https://d1ejxu6vysztl5.cloudfront.net/comics/garfield/1980/1980-06-13.gif[/img][/spoiler] But yeah, great work as always.

Oh yes, that sweet Garfield reference. Mmmm But yeah, it does look really nice. :D The dog looks really cute!

Looks really nice!

Neweegee you have true talent! Use it well. Not to sound like a kiss ass but you'd have to be my #1 favorite spriter EVER! Not even Nintendo can compete in my opinion. I'm currently working on a Waluigi sprite sheet in your classic 2D style. Preview: [img]http://i.imgur.com/CfuXKqk.png[/img] I also made a small expansion on your Mario and Luigi sprite sheets: [img]http://i.imgur.com/AtwbZw6.png[/img] You aren't abandoning your classic 2D style right?

[quote="theundead101"]You aren't abandoning your classic 2D style right?[/quote] I'm p sure he already has, and is working in more complex and technically impressive styles.

Neweegee your sprites are remarkable! I hope to become as good as you are someday.
