E-Man's Sprite R & D

[E-Man]

Hmmm... The lack of feedback on this topic is rather disappointing... Then again, most of the sprite topics are hardly getting any attention anymore, so what gives?

.... Aw well! I better not think about it too deeply. Right now, though, I better focus on the topic at hand. To start things off, I gave my little Goomba some animations.

Just let me know what you think, OK?


By the way, when I was in the process of getting my sheet submitted, Ton had a few words to say about it. He liked almost ever aspect of the sheet (especially the coin, the flag, and the Fire Flower), but he was a little bothered by the Mushroom, the Star, and the Axe.



He thought the Mushroom looked too much like a circle, so I enlarged the cap. Personally, I like the original better because it looks adorable, but I am willing to go with the first option. As for the second one.... Not so much...

To make the Star look more round, Ton suggested to add another shade in there. I complied with his advice, but it wasn't easy to do. In fact, I'm a little uneasy if my new shades look any good. What do you think?

As for the Axe, I did a little something to make it looks less flat. I don't know what you guys think, but i am proud of how it turned out.

Got any other suggestions before I compile these new versions into my final sprite sheet?
