The last one is the program I use. Watch the tutorial.

Can any of you animated these?  I have no idea how to...

I can give it a shot in photoshop tomorrow.

Koenig, can you find a different place to host those? I cannot download those pictures D:

Why not? I thought you could download any image by right clicking on them...

Only the one of the character with left leg forward downloads. The others just appear as broken PNGs



nevermind...I may have fixed the issue. GIF ON ITS WAY

Minus the black dots that randomly appeared...looks good

Yay!

I wonder if the black dots are from semi transparent pixels... I did my best to clean the page, but the eraser only does it one shade at a time instead of completely removing it.

That could explain it...

Also: I noticed you flipped the image for foot forward and back. No worries on that but you need to watch the shadowing.



Notice how the shading doesn't flip in the walk cycle?

True.  That said, is it just me, or does is the Link sprite from Lttp actually several different sprites layered on top of each other?  I say this, because his torso, head, and legs seem to move independently from one another, giving him a sort of bobbing up and down motion to most of his animations.

I don't have the skill yet to work with more than one layer at a time outside of tracing, but I could try to implement a bobbing motion to future sprites and relegate movement to each body portion individually.

For future reference, mostly for myself:

Is there a way we could share pdn files? I am using multiple layers so that I can trace and compare my work.

Another thing I have noticed while researching, is that only the objects that can be interacted with (brush, pot, enemy, hazards, chest, etc) have solid black out lines; everything else has smoother color edges that blend into the background. It makes sense all things considered, but I had not noticed until working with sprites today.

PDN stands for what again?

No idea. What ever it is though, it saves all the layers I am using so i can continue working with them.

Can you try animating these for me again? I think I got the shading down this time.


(use this one first and fourth)


(use this one second)


(use this one third)


(use this one fifth)


(use this one sixth)

Sorry I killed the thread again...

Any idea why my sprite's transparency is missing in half the picture?

That looks fantastic!

What do you mean transparency?

The image around the actual character is supposed to be transparent (or pure white) But instead 90% of it is black with a few stray pixels of white.

are you 100% sure the background is cleaned up?

I went over every frame with the Eraser multiple times until only the dotted background of paint.net remained. I do not understand what I am doing wrong.

Then it is not you. It's the gif compression.

Can you do me a favor? Zip me the files with a pure bright lime green background. Lemme try something

How do I do that? Also how do I share zip files? I don't actually have an account on any sharing sites other than youtube and photobucket.

hm..

just zip the images and send them to me.
