*newb alert* Sprite Animation

[triptych]

I guess it's just me because I have a nice streak or something unlike *cough*Cure For Cancer*cough*

And calling me out for the fact that I'm acting better than 99% of the pixel artists here (because I am) somehow keeps you on your good streak?

grow the fuck up

Okay I only read parts of this thread but

I'm gonna go ahead and say you should really learn how to sprite basic things before trying to make animations or games. -Really-

Really

When it comes to art you have to learn things, you can't just jump in and start making projects and then have it come out good. There's a lot of basic concepts that you don't even know. You're going to have a lot of difficulty and it's not even going to come out right. If you want to learn how to sprite then you have to focus on improving, not getting productions right away. This whole thing is doomed to fail unless you up your skills first.

How was this a helpful post?
I know i'm not going to make the best things ever right from the start. I am trying to learn the basics of spriting. I learned how to make a standing sprite, so I figured the next step would be movement and if its not please correct me.
I have been learning game design for 2 months now and wanted to learn basic sprite information so I could put a school project together.
Now if you could post some basic tutorials or offer some kind of help to further my progress that would be great. but I chose the title of this thread so I wouldn't be attacked for asking basic questions in the "Questions, Info, and Tutorials" section.

It may not have come off as nice or helpful to you (even though it was), but I'll take a crack at explaining things because it looks like you still think girls are icky and you can't take advice from them

making a game is something that requires a lot of talent, and you're nowhere near that level. If you want to improve your spriting abilities, head over to the Spriting And Pixel Art board and post a thread there.

On your comment about animations: No, animations are not the next step for you, you have a long ways to go if you want to attempt them, you're obviously lacking knowledge on a lot of fundamental skills and your work is suffering because of it.



I feel like I'm rambling at this point, so the short version is this: Head over to sprite discussion and hopefully the fact that you're not amazing will hit you in the head at some point
