Ridge's WIP M&L:BIS Sheets

[tsr moderation staff]

imo you should make it so he pauses less in the halfway point in his idle. it would look a lot smoother and wackier

[mutantyoshi]

they are good, but remember that Larry now has 2 fangs and not four, also the koopaling's shells are smooth, not like Bowser's/Bowser Jr.'s,with all the details. Also, you should make the over world smaller, because, to me, the official sprites are out of proportion, like against your Larry with Bowser, Bowser seems...small.

[Ridge Troopa]

Oh man, that's awesome. Is the ball going to shift as his balance does? That would be a great touch.

Yep.

I'd have to disagree. The idle is based off his Super Princess Peach animation, which has a significant (if not longer) pause like this. Besides, when I was testing the animation it looked much better how you see it now. So I'm going to keep it how it is.

I know. I said I was going to fix Larry a few posts back.
Shells have changed to be like Bowser's.
Larry only seems big because of his hair. All the sizes are correct I can assure you.

NEW PROJECT.

Absolutely beautiful so far

[LeleleleMAXIMUM]

These are great. I kinda want you to move out of M&L a bit, try larger styles, since you're a great animator.

ok, but the shell still bugs me, because the official artwork shows them with smooth, not detailed shells, this was also seen in the opening of the game.

You're right, I just looked back and realized it. I was mislead by Lemmy and Morton's shells when they're spinning (it looked like there were lines but it was just moving pretty fast). So yeah, I will fix that now.

Pretty weird. I wonder why Nintendo decided not to give them that detail.

I was wondering the same thing...

[Mallacxo]

So your gonna do M&L 3 style and the NSMB Wii style for them right?
What I mean is your gonna base them on the NSMB Wii style they got, but they'll be M&L 3 sprites correct?

[Zac]

NEW PROJECT.

awesome stuff man, one suggestion though. You should make his head move more side to side during the animation, stranger angles would look incredible.

[The Boshi]

Awesome work on Lemmy.

[Ridge Troopa]

Fixed up my old Larry, and I'm pretty satisfied with the turnout.
New one is on the left.

[Baegal]

IMO, I think the older one looked better :/

maybe not colorwise, but the overall shape. I liked how his hair looked like one big piece instead of like 4-5

[Neslug]

But shouldn't the eyes be all black like most M&L sprites? And I get what you were trying to do with the hair, but is it just me or does it have a little too much contrast (same with shell)? Maybe you could try pulling the right (our left) cheek in by a pixel, too? Aside from that I think it's better.

[CeeY]

The one on the left is clearly better. His shell stands out much more, and the colors of the hair are a lot better as well.
