GREAT WORK ON THOSE SPRITES

[Koopaul]

I was like "wow those are awesome customs!" But then I saw it was an edit... A good edit though, on the right track. Just misled me.

Also guys when he said "sexy" it doesn't mean he has a sexual attraction to her. He might just be pointing out an element of her design. She was designed in a "sexy" way.

[Goemar]

Many people say cars and pumas are sexy, doesn't mean you want to have sex with them.
I still deny that Furs are actually Furs and it's just a huge conspiracy against my perception of the universe though.

But yeah nice edits, the ship looks pretty cool as well. I've always secretly wished there'd be a vertical StarFox shmup...
I never got why people do so many edits of there own work (adding different clothes etc. etc.) before they get more poses done though. If you can use Zero as a base there's not too many actions that shouldn't be too hard to edit. And Krystals side view head looks a bit fat, like a Moomin.

I don't know how I missed this, but I need to add my ten cents.

Add a few idle poses without the tails flying around all over the place.
In the games, these characters don't constantly fling their tails around in ecstasy.
They only move them when they get agitated or when you leave them standing in one place for long enough.

Be sure to work some animalistic facial expressions to the attacking animations for realistic purposes.
When furfags like this get angry they lay their ears back against their skulls, snarl, or bare their teeth as a threat display.
Making their tail fur stand on end for a few poses while enraged would also add a cool effect.

Krystal's outfit is ugly. :C
Maybe get rid of the suspender straps, assuming that's what those are.

Great stuff, can't wait to see the continuations.

i'd really like this thread to be closed because to this point, it really seems more of a hit & run attemp of attention whoring.

unless of course OP actually shows that he is working outside the existing poses of the original sprite. if not, this does nothing but draw people's interest for nothing.

Hey, come on man. This is just the start. Didn't you check my title? I'm still a newbie at this. I want to branch out and do fully custom things, in the style I've been using thus far. In fact, I was thinking about doing some more sprites for the Arwing right now.

[Grey_Wolf_Leader]

*Groan* I'm a bad spriter. Not in the sense that I make bad sprites, but that I'm a horrible procrastinator. But in spite of that, I actually made some progress!

Okay. I took Jesus Lizard's advice, and (finally) got around to tweaking Fox and Krystal's tails, so that their regular idling pose is with them hanging down. Additionally, I went and worked a bit on the Arwing sprites and completed the "Pulling Up" and "Diving" sprites, as well as added a couple of wing poses. (Check out the sheets my first post to see the changes)

However, since I realize that those of you who saw these before won't see much of a change, I decided that a couple animated GIFs would probably be more effective in showing my work than a slightly revamped sprite sheet. Enjoy!

The main problem with the tails is that they don't match the rest of the sprite. They just look recolored from, well, Tails.

[Cobalt Blue]

you just animated what was already on the spritesheet you posted weeks ago. and still did nothing new on what we were asking: fox's sprite.

you know that what i was critizicing was that you basically recolored existing sprites and since the original base had no more frames you couldn't do shit on your own. and it seems its true.
