Damn. I'm impressed you banged that out so quickly. I'm excited to see the final sheet.

Whenever I get around to making more. I'll be sure to contact you.

[Einherjar]

I am just lucky at the moment (the sprite came on the sheet like I wanted in my head), don't expect me to work always this fast . (sometimes my mind block and I can't draw something as I imagine)

here the normal attack (i still need to draw the blur animation)
(Since I though the kid had no (or little) experience with sword I came with this)



next is the critical. Any idea is welcome. And do you need a ranged attack ?

[Richter]

*Smirks* I'm not pushing work on you Ein, your taking what I say and doing it. I never....Ok, I asked you to work on the Brawler, but I never said work on both, the brawler and promotion class. In fact, I said I was planning on working on it myself when I got into battle sprites.

[Einherjar]

[Richter]

Wow....I compleatly missed the (joking).....Howd I manage that.....?

[Fitz24]

I like.

For the critical animations:
Do something like him jumping to attack. Instead of charging.

Yes, I would like ranged animations. (Shouldn't be too difficult...right? )

[Einherjar]

Between Ranged and critical ? I think the former the most DIFFICULT (joking of course 3 frames without the blur should be enough I think).

Only the ranged was made. I am still working on the crit (Those crit always give me nightmare)

here it is

enjoy

[Fitz24]

Pretty good, just needs the blurs obviously

[Einherjar]

And here the critical at last (man it was a pain to set this up but I managed)



Hope it is what you expected me to draw Fitz

[Fitz24]

Wow. This is exactly what I had pictured in my mind. mind reader 0_o.

Just add the blurs and combine it all into a sheet.

[Einherjar]

Sorry for the wait (blurring was harder than I though)

here the sheet

standing and dodge (didn't need to blur it)



normal melee attack



critical melee attack



normal and critical ranged



I check the palette and there was no problem with it. All that's left is the scripting (I'll leave it to you but I'll try to do one)

[SlipperySereph]

Alright, there are a few things that kind of look weird or not fit in very well. First of all, I hope I'm not coming off as mean and second, battle sprites aren't my expertise so I could be wrong.

Starting from the magic sword. The blur looks kind of weird, especially considering the fact he has a bandana on yet it disappears during the blur. Same with the sword. Also it makes the arm look much huger than it actually is. Well ignoring the blur, I think you should reference it with the others like Eirika or Swordmasters who if quickly bringing their sword up only have a single blur. If it's slowly, then like cavaliers, there isn't a blur at all. You kind of done both, which isn't very good. Also, looking at it, it makes it seem like he brings his sword half way, stops and brings it up again. I recommend to get rid of the third pose entirely (which has bad shading on his right hand, that you may need to fix). The hand on the final pose is kind of odd, too.

Moving onto the critical melee. All the blurs are still effected by the criticism before. Considering you used mainly the sword critical for the start of the critical, the previous criticism is the same. I don't know why, but the whole animation looks very stiff. The pants on the third last pose need better shading and I'm not sure on this, but visually, the fourth last to the third sprites won't blend very smoothly when animated. I think it's mainly the jumping that makes the animation look awkward and stiff-like considering he barely moves any differently throughout it despite having a lot of poses. Jumping sprites usually don't last long like Eirika's backwards jump.

As for the last one, there's no awkwardness but things like the blur being wrong colour and stuff still occur. Considering it's just two blurs for movement, its' not much to look at. Also the fifth to sixth pose just makes him look awkward.

Anyway, hope I helped you! Whether or not you change it, I don't mind. Just trying to help is all.

[Richter]

Wait, who has a bandanna? I didnt' see anyone(With the exception of the big buff brawler) who had a bandanna, and I didn't see any blur on that thing at all, so what the heck are you talking about,

[SlipperySereph]

Sorry, wrist band.

[Richter]

Ah, yeah. That makes more sense.*Sorry, didn't mean to cut up your post, but its what I do*

[Einherjar]

Don't worry William and Richter (sorry Richter your brawler will come soon), as I said before critics always help to make things better. Even thought blurring isn't my cup of tea
For the wrist band that isn't in the blur motion, I check Ross sprite sheet (since this version come from it) and in only one motion of the blur motion the wrist band appear (but it might be better for me to draw it in all blur, my mistake)

For the ranged, I was thinking of doing it like the knight, with only the first and third frame. What do you think about that ?

For the critical I was thinking about erasing the third and the fourth frame from the right of the first row, the second and fifth from the left of the first row and combining the forth and sixth into one

I check some other sheet and for all blur, it was draw in light color so I follow how it was done (my bad ?)

Well I will work on it to match that later.

[Einherjar]

After observing some blur, I come with this. I think it's better than before but if there is something strange tell me

Ranged attack (new version)



I will continue with the critical then ( I might redo the blur for the melee attack but I think everything else is good to go)

To Fitz: I hope I still got time (since I have no deadline. If not I'll try to work faster.)

[Fitz24]

I'm not rushing you, don't worry about it. lol

[Einherjar]

I finished the sheet not long ago and tested it with a script but I dunno why I still have some problem with the script (the foe HP decrease before the hit, so I think the some error with the timing since the command C04 is before the striking as explain in blazer's tut)

I need to adjust it and it will be done.
I made a GIF and here is the result for the normal melee attack




And here the critical for the melee



Hope you like it Fitz

[Fitz24]

I do like. But, uh, as you said the timing is off for the beginning of the attack, it seems like the lifting motion should be quicker. everything else is good. The jump for the critical is in slow-mo

I think when you put in
3 p- whatever.png

the 3 is the timing, maybe change the first few to 1 or 2.
