Hey guys... it's my first WIP, sorry if i did something wrong then.. =)
Well i'm planning to do a platform game and the main character is going to be a mushroom... I drawn it and i'm a little insecure about it Here it goes:  I want some suggestions of what I can do to improve it... After finishing it i'm going to do the character's animations... Let me know your opinion  Thnx ^^' Edited by Pickles - 31 October 2009 at 4:24pm |

Yech! It's a jpeg! ;)
Probably by the host's fault, change it. I prefer the 2 little ones in your gallery, to be honest. They look more lively than this one. What's the black dot? eye, mouth? I don't think dithering is a good option at this scale, it might look better shiny. I'm no expert in sprites though. To embed an image, either use the tree icon, or [-img-] ... [-/img-] tags, without the -. |

Yeah guy... you were absolutely right about the dithering... it's nicer now...
 It's more lively... *-*... I used some lighting techniques to get more reality Any other suggestions are always welcome =DDD~~ And it's a JPG... i didn't notice it... It switched automatically when I uploaded it... ¬¬ Thnx a lot guy! Edited by Pickles - 31 October 2009 at 5:19pm |

Hey!
Now I started doing the tileset...  It seems that the mushroom is not matching with the platform... maybe for color reasons... I'm pretty open to suggestions =D Edited by Pickles - 01 November 2009 at 6:15am |

The secondary light source on the shroom can only be reflected light from the grass: should be greenish (slightly!)
I like the tiles, but not the horizontal dark green line. Break it or remove it. Good work so far! (esp with the tree!) |

All colors go if character is distinctive from background. Note that platforms also should be well pronounced.

Guys...
I have a question... If I do the slightly greenwish second light, behind the character, wouldn't it be strange when he walks on an ice paltform for example? |

Don't bother. Main thing is to make it do not look strange when he walks at all. Do you plan to animate it?

The turn is pretty good. Speeding it up a little would make it better. :3

Anims look good, but I don't know if the walk will look like one when it's actually moving.
Maybe the ... red part (how the *** do you call that in English??? can't say head since its foot is its head...) should move back and forth too with that same little delay. |

I did the speed change on the turning animation, the walk I haven't change anything yet...
Turning  Special Attack  Jumping  -- The tileset until now:  -- @Manupix: The secondary light source on the shroom can only be reflected light from the grass: should be greenish (slightly!) Help me with the second light issue... I've chosen the white one for it to fit in any color of platform, what color must I use?I like the tiles, but not the horizontal dark green line. Break it or remove it. Good work so far! (esp with the tree!) Edited by Pickles - 02 November 2009 at 6:50pm |

Difficult to say without seeing the other bgs.
Possibly, either warm (orange-yellowish) or cold (bluish) might work; it might be more the hue of the shading than of the light. I don't have any experience in PA for games, so I can just guess. I'm not even sure sprites use 2ndary light. Anyway, a good 2ndary light is usually a different color than the main. The bg looks quite good! (except that grass line, still worrying) |

I think that the bouncing on the body doesn't quite seem to fit the top of the mushroom, maybe a bit of squashing it down when it lands? |
