Graphics I would appreciate feed back on my sprite....

[rcgarcia]

Hello, im trying to make my sprites from an overhead(top down) view for my game. It was way harder than I thought it would be. I would appreciate any links to tutorials or templates of top down characters I could use to improve. Thanks, and here is my sprite...

looks pretty good to me - the only thing i can think of is maybe lighten a few areas or provide some bright lines of contrast -- i can imagine on a darker map that char might look a bit murky. just my tuppence...

Thanks Starbird, Im planning to lighten up the sprite a bit.

@rcgarcia Overall this is looking pretty good - the angle seems about right, though the design is a bit dark like @Starbird mentioned. I think all that really needs fixing is the foot movement at the moment. I can't find a good template for you to go off of, but basically when I put it into MV it only looks like the character is moving one leg forward.

Here's (more or less) where you'd want your character's feet in each frame:

1. One foot is forward, the other is behind.
2. Both feet are in the same position.
3. The opposite foot is forward, while the other is behind.​

thanks Amysaurus, actually this is only half of the moving sprite. The full one has 8 frames of animation. I appreciate the tutorial you posted.
