hey recolorme, it'd help if you could list some things about the sprite style in the OP, as it'd probably help people who might want to help with this.

Would it be fine if I made a mini tutorial? I think that would be better.

EDIT: 700th post!

yes, that'd be even better actually. always good to be informative! might even attract more helpers.

Alright! I shall do that now!

Also, I'ma edit some stuff on the sheet. Things look way weird. Such as the mouth on Kirby. It looked fine before.

I was following Koopal's advice and moved it up a pixel.
Then when I compared it to official sprites I noticed it looked off.

I honestly think the mouth makes more sense like it is because it gives a better sense of depth.
It looks like Kirby has cheeks now~

It's your call though

Well, I usually look at KSSU/KNiD/KatAM for refs. The old sprites aren't that good for reference.
Also, little update~!

The tutorial is on it's way!

What's that boomer? You're afraid you and the other EX mode enemies are going to be overlooked?
Well, we'll have to make sure that doesn't happen now won't we?

I may have taken an artist liberty or two to further differentiate boomer from the Poppy bros.

But the mouth position is the same for KSSU?

Also, Kirby never opens his mouth that much unless he's inhaling.
This is the most he opens it.


Thanks for fixing the shading on the jump btw~

honestly Kirby's mouth looks fine to me. having it up more just looks weird actually (unless you move it left a pixel).
also Terminal that is sexy as helllll

I don't want to sound pushy or complain, but it at least needs to be moved up a pixel.

If you remove the smile it looks weird like it is.
Moving it up makes it more normal and moving it right gives Kirby's head a more 3D feel to it because it's where his mouth would be. (His cheek sticking out a little)
I can see why it looks pleasing when it's low, but it's just not very accurate. (Not saying it has to be accurate though)


I'm sorry if I'm overstepping boundaries...

These look nice! I can't really judge the animation since it's just the frames. Can you try animating it?

EDIT: It's okay Ploaj. You aren't stepping on any boundaries at all! See, the thing is is that I'm not making it exactly like the original sprites. I'm giving the sprites some artistic flavor, so it's not going to be 100% accurate. Kirby smiles in some games of his. Like in Kirby 64, he was smiling while idling. Same with Epic Yarn.

Oh hey, I can upload animations to imageshack again.



As I suspected, the boomerang is really iffy.
I might have aligned the frames badly though.

Also, sheet update. I changed the darkest shade of gray.


EDIT: updated the first post

Not entirely done.

Made a inhaling animation based on Kirby Super Star Ultra.
