Hello, I suppose here's where I'll be posting my work. First off, here's my custom battle animation for a character in my hack
watch dat
edit- updated the sprite sheet

There are some minor issues like missing pieces and missplaced outlines but I'll fix it up later. One issue I'm worried about is at the end of the critical frame, where his swords look skinny. I'm trying to give the look that they are turned to their side, am I selling it?
If there's any wonkiness anyone sees please let me know, feedback is much appreciated!

---edit---
Here's a standing frame of my Thief Sprite, with glasses.



And here's my interpretation of a female mercenary.


Its just how I would envision it. I think Mercs are really cocky by nature and are just overall bad ass. Although she looks more like a popstar with a giant sword at the moment. I need to give her the merc aesthetic.
Oh and this is also not final, I just wanted to share it

here are my portraits I have made




thanks for your time!

I was gonna comment the other day but got distracted by a butterfly or some other such alibi

I think this looks pretty amazing, animated it will look incredible.

I'd like to see the rest of your stuff, is all of it to this caliber?

[GhastStation]

Wow Captain, I really appreciate that! thank you very much.

To be honest this animation is all I have so far. I have mostly standing frames of other ideas I have. Some are just minor customs like a thief with glasses and a mage without a hat.

I have some mugs I've yet to put up and they're just some splices.

I'm going to work on another custom, I know its kind of an overused idea but I'm going try making an actual female merc.

I'll try to give that a standing frame later tonight!

[Seraphinox]

Any small little things, I'd like to see them, I mean, I'd all down for a thief with glasses

mage without a hat.

I would be very interested in this.

[GhastStation]

I'll get working on that Snow!

[Seraphinox]

I love all your stuff man

I think the female merc is really good. Gotta say though, your Zagan remake looks like either a fat Naruto or a fat Goku, not sure which to go for.

Keep up the good work!

[Fire Blazer]

Hmm, they look pretty cool as Seraph said but I definitely see some room for improvement. In other words, there's great potential here. Maybe if someone has time/you're interested they could critique it and help you out a little... I'm not a very good spriter or explainer myself nor do I have a lot of time but if no one else wants to and you'd like some help, I can try XP

[GhastStation]

@ Seraph, thank you^^ and lol is funny you say that because its based off my good friend. He actually looks like a real life Zagan it was so perfect.

@Blazer, thanks a lot. that feedback, especially from vets is very, very appreciated. I will continue to work on these ~~

[GhastStation]

Here's the critical frame in action!



The ending isn't done. I'm still trying to think of a unique way to return to base that isn't an obvious splice

[Snow]

Hey that looks pretty awesome Ghast.

[GhastStation]

thanks a lot Snow, hey I was going to ask you, how did you get so good at mapping?

also this

New project, for MarkyJoe's hack. Lucy.



and



Working on Bram's returning to base frames :\

[boney]

recolor the second one to look like zolo and blazer will love you forever *shot*

[Snow]

So I just noticed the mage without a hood XD Apparently the new post jumped to the one below it. It looks awesome, I like it alot more than the DoF one (Enjorlas(?) uses it). As for the map thing, I read this, basically tells you how to make sure the map looks decent, the rest is practice.

[Fire Blazer]

Too bad I'd only appreciate it if it were *Zoro not "zolo" and he uses 3 swords and looks nothing like that nor do I fanboy over... ugh shut up Boney utroll >

anyhow good work Ghast, I'm still too busy/dizzy/lazy to give proper critique but try cleaning up some of the slashing frames to look more... refined, like clean up the edges on a couple of them, make sure there's no stray pixels. If you can't see what I'm talking about then just remind me to go into detail one of these years XD

[GhastStation]

i made a gif! ubt for some reason the anim gets all choppy at the end. i don't know why but its supposed to go much faster

[Fire Blazer]

Hmm, you changed the timings and such to fit each frame accordingly? animating is hard but that looks pretty awesome dude, you've actually got me a little excited since I'm a long-time fan of animated battle sprites, haha. What program are you using? IIRC finding a good GIF animator is sort of a pain in the butt lol

[GhastStation]

thanks blaze! I'm using Photoscape. Duchess of Freege over at TEB told me about it! is the gif slowing down towards the end for you too? I'm thinking it may just be my computer

EDIT figured out the choppy part, it was because i set the time to 0.01 and i guess it was too fast so it slowed down. anyway here it is with the critical!
