Description
Round 1 ...FIGHT!
Had a go at doing some pixel animation over the weekend. Was actually really fun. This took about 3 days from pixel outline, to colour, to anti-alias, to finished animation. Reminds me of a simpler time in games design. <3
May do some more of these little animations, or even a tutorial about how to do your own little idle animations.

Heh. This guy was certainly inspired by starfox, back in the day. Hopefully he's advanced a bit since then. ;3

Oh so glorious. Is there anything you can't touch with your magic artistic skills? (snort snort?)

If you did enough of these animations and sprites, perhaps you could turn your character into an actual fighter with M.U.G.E.N.!
M.U.G.E.N. is a slightly outdated fighting engine, but is very fun to use. Its an engine where you can make virtually any fighter, from another fighting game or one you made up yourself and pit them against a multitude of other fighters.
Heck, I'd be willing to program him in said engine for you if you actually do the sprites. Would be a fun project to do, need to practice more on my coding techniques anyways.

That might be a fun project for the future actually.
I'm really busy atm, but keep in touch and we could give it a go. :3

Not a problem. 
I would just love to program your character as soon as you have the time. I have plenty of programing experience with M.U.G.E.N. (and programing in general) and resources for SFX sprites if needed.
I have a passion for helping out with the dreams and passions of others, especially when it has to do with games! So I will definitely be willing to work with you on your time to get your character up and running on M.U.G.E.N.

Looks great, and reminds me its been ages since I last tried pixel art! I think I'm too heavy on outlining stuff lately, you have to have a different mindset when you have limited space for line & colour hahah...I like his boooots!

I'll bet. <3
To think about the days back on PF when I made those little post-it animations with pixels.

very nice sci! Animation can be hard! Then again i am a beginner so practice makes perfect!
Can you also do tutorials on how to make sprites?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup. A tutorial is in the works right now. Watch this space, for I'll be posting it on DA when it's done.

What would your special move be like?
I'd love to make one of them and fight yer Street Fighter II stylie!

Now Foxxie, this is why I like the way you think.
Special move? Hmmm. Well Scifer's got those way-cool pulseboots, so I think he oughta have some sort of Rocket-Propelled-Kick that has an insane button combo behind it.
There's gotta be some sort of engine we can put sprites into to make 'em fight :3

Try MUGEN. It's a freeware 2d fighting engine, i've seen millins of people making characters from famous media fight each other from Homer Simpson to Ultimate Chimera etc

Ah yeah! I know MUGEN, had a play around with it once or twice. Really DOS-heavy program, lol.
Don't know if I'd have the patience to make a full sprite sheet and SFX clips though. When I look at some of the ones from streetfighter at over 3000 pixels in length. x_X

Yeah XD I know exactly how time comsiming spriting is, especially if you're doing shading properly 
Unfortunately, that's the only free 2d fighting game engine i know of

Wow that looks really good. I like how smooth the animation seems to go. Impressive ^__^

Hehe, liking how fluid the animation goes with the character, really smoothly along with all the details. ^^
