Hi, I was wondering if anyone could make a map sprite for Selara:


I was thinking a Myrmidon/Lyn mix.

This is her battle animation I have made:


I was wondering if anybody could possibly use this to make well, better.

Thanks.

It's all GIF's and it's way too fast. Aside from being too fast there should be a longer pause on the frame where the sprite stops mid-attack while the HP bar decreases.

For example, think of the Mercenary. When they come down for the slash, they stop and wait for the HP to deplete, it doesn't just go right back. So I'm just suggesting adding a pause (even though it's just a test anim).

The battle sprite also needs to be recolored to match the portrait.

[Zeldaicflame]

Ah yes, well that was the only way I knew to put up the whole animation - as an animated GIF.

And recolouring is coming, but I want to finish the whole sheet first.

I was kinda hoping someone could fix it up a bit for me, because, as you can see I'm not that good at it.

If you could upload the battle sheet someone might be able to help you with it.

[Zeldaicflame]

This is her sheet:


I do not have Crit Frames or ranged/magic sword frames.

[Zeldaicflame]

Well, its been a week, so I was just wondering if anyone out there was interested.

I guess can figure it out by myself if no-one wants to do it.

I might be able to help out - what exactly is it you want, though? Do you need a map sprite, or do you just want help on the battle sheet?
Though I'm not the best at spriting, I have worked on a few battle sheets and such. Nonetheless, I'm willing to help a brother out; just give me a more detailed idea of what you need done.

[Zeldaicflame]

Well right now its an edited swordmaster.

I was thinking for her to be a sort of quick but strong kind of attacker.
And her general idea of attack is swing the word down to prepare, crouch, and launch and quick straight attack, and then jumping up and back like the original swordmaster. (Thought if you have a better idea of returning to standing then by all means).

The Crit only needs to be simple. Closing eyes, moving slower at the start, nothing too fancy. (Its the not promoted sprite.)

The dodge frames I was thinking she quickly disappears and reappears.

And the magic sword frames to be just the raising sword like most other sword classes. (Again nothing fancy)

[Fire Blazer]

Alright, there's a weird pixel on the face that needs to be removed. I'd definitely suggest either reusing an existing slash effecting or fixing up your current one because it's very poorly made (yes, I realize I'm being blunt and thus sounding mean).

When making a sprite sheet, the frames go from left to right, not right to left.

Your current dodge isn't really a dodge either. If you can't use the existing swordmaster dodge or make something else that's good, you could always go for a simple "fade out" effect... I can't really explain it, but... nevermind... >_>

Is this for a hack? If it is, since your sprite is so much like the swordmaster anim, why not just use the swordmaster anim?

[Zeldaicflame]

I never really liked the swordmaster animation. I feel it doesn't give a strong enough effect.
I'll fix it up a bit this weekend.

[Fire Blazer]

IMO the current one you have gives off the same idea except for the beginning slash, which doesn't help since it's not actually attacking the enemy. LOL

[Zeldaicflame]

Do you have any ideas on how I can make it stronger?

I can't really think of a better word to describe it.

[ElFuego]

Yo, I started working on your battle animation already - sorry if I was mistaken, but I thought you did want someone to fix it up right? If you just wanted critique, I can just get rid of the one I was starting and just comment on the battle sheet. I don't want to steal your battle sheet or anything, so just let me know.

[Zeldaicflame]

Yes, your quite right, I did want someone to fix it up.
Thankyou.

I was just asking blazer about it so I could learn and be better in future.

[Zeldaicflame]

So, well Elfeugo, hows things coming along?
