G33X (Sketchasaur's sprites n' things)

[E-Man]

Interesting stuff here you have here, Sketchasaurus. I like the animation of the mayor/business man slamming his desk.

Anyway, I've never seen these characters before. Are they your creations by any chance?

The newscaster-looking guy has a weird jaw jiggle thing going on and it's kind of distracting.

[Sketchasaurus]

The character is seriously flipping adorable.

Her head looks pretty static compared to the rest of the animation, though. If you gave her a blink I think it would have a lot more life.

Ahaha, thanks; I'm glad ya like 'er.

also, I added a blink animation to the cycle (and added more loops to make the blink feel more natural than if she were to blink every nth frame in the 8 frame cycle.

Thankya kindly, It's been pretty fun to work on thus far.
Also, yes; these characters are all my own creations and are part of a large personal project of mine that I've been working on for the past 3 years or so.

Yeah, the jaw jiggle was intentional, and I thought it was amusing at the time, but during the time where that sprite sequence is used, he'll likely be saying something.
here are the phoneme sprites that I have for the chap so far.

Mm-hmmm... Fascinating! What would this personal project be by any chance?

[Sketchasaurus]

The Personal Project that I'm working on is a Cartoon/(possible)Game series called G33X (pronounced 'Geeks') that is centered around a group of friends that live in a video game world. (I guess I might as well link to the youtube: Link) The art style is based mainly on old cartoons (and games such as the Mario series, Banjo-Kazooie, and the Classic Mega man games) I won't go too deep into explaining it since I could go on and on about it, but yeah. I'm glad that this has sparked your interest!

Here's some NES-esque (not 100% NES compatible unless programming tricks are implemented) sprites of one of the Main heroes.

[Sketchasaurus]

I apologize for the double post, but I've got some new sprites:

Just a few enemies from the series.

I like really smooth animation too. The reporter reminds me of a mix of Seth Macfarlene and some other artist, cant think of the name though.

[Kelvin]

I have to commend you on patience alone; there's no way I could make sprites like these with my attention span.

Also, no need to appologize for a double post when it's productive or informative. You're not just bum ping for attention, so that's good.

[Sketchasaurus]

@virtuaboy: Thank ya, I'm glad you like 'em; though I can't say that I'm much of a fan of Macfarlene, ahaha.

@Midi: thanks, man; once I get into the swing of making sprites, it becomes relaxing and fun to a point where I want to keep working on stuff.

I'm sure that I've posted this before in one of my old topics, but here: have a Hoatzin-Buzzard-Pokémon-like-Non-Pokémon-thing:


And some items


and one of the members of the show's Rouge's Gallery doing a thing:

[E-Man]

For some reason, the bird looks a lot like the Evil Eagle from Link's Awakening.

I still can't get over how well you animated the sheer bulk of your sprites.

I can't say that I know that one as I'm not much of a Zelda fan
aha, thanks man.

here's a little animation of the Pine tree creature:

I only made two frames (arms in and arms out) then I used flash to simulate the game engine stretch effect.

another older animation, a fella called Spike, doing a lil dance:

I need to change the blue to solve some readability issues, but I think it's a fun little animation. And while I'm on the subject of posting more old sprites, have another one:

[Sketchasaurus]

I'm here with another animation:
I scratched this up last night after cutting down the palette from 22 colors to 13.


EDIT:
Here's an update to the enemies sheet. (or at least the sea creatures group)

[Sketchasaurus]

Oh man, I'm sorry for the triple post (it goes against everything I've ever learned from years of forums)

I've got more sprites that I've been working on:



Here are some semi-older sprites done as an attempt of Pokémon G/S style; as you can see, there are some unfinished sprites and multiple attempts at spriting one of my characters:


And here are some Bosses in the series for the intro:

[Gors]

really realy nice stuff, i have no complaints

[Sketchasaurus]

Thanks Gors.

I've got another sprite in progress now (because I can't seem to stay on track on the same sprite for very long). this one follows the fantasy theme of the knight one.
it's a goblin version of the blue fella who's popped up here a few times.


I've been leaving these guys armless because I want to make different arms holding different weapons in different ways.
