With Walk, Run, Standard Attack and Jump animations. Shocked? A redux of the Rustbug sprite, and i think i've finally found what i was aiming for. The chunky sprite was fun, but it wasn't efficient, it was too fat and hard to animate. So i introduced the good aspects of the orginal Rustbug sprite (the agile look) and those of the chunky Rustbug sprite (the solidity) and gave it a clean up and wash of more intense colours. This will hopefully be used in the 'Rustbug game'. (EDIT: 02/10/08)

Great animation. It strongly reminds me of Dragoons.

I can't believe I haven't commented here yet! This is one of my favorite pj avatars. Definitely on my top list, along with jalonso's and fawful's.

Love the recoil after it fires.

this is relly neat animation

This character has looked great since the first sprite. In some ways I like the original look. But this one really has perfect animation! :D

Can't wait to play the Rustbug Game!

LordNitrus (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/9/2010 1:00:38 PM

i like this. it gave me the idea of a high tech side scrolling rts xD very nice.

TheChan (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/3/2010 1:37:47 AM

To be honest I prefer the older rustbug to this one.

Arun Dhir (Level 1 Jukyu) at 4/26/2009 8:08:19 PM

I have loved your rustbug 'character' ever since I laid eyes on it while lurking on pixel joint. Keep up the good work. Maybe one day I'll be this awesome at spriting.

skypo (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/1/2009 5:04:09 AM

that jump is funny

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 12/1/2008 8:01:07 AM

Thanks Arrow! Yeah, you could say i simplified the feet/legs, but i think it's for the best. Thanks for the interest :D

Arrow-1 (Level 2 Peon) at 11/30/2008 9:51:51 PM

This is great! The colors are better than the old one for sure, much more vivid, and the curved border piece between the orange and black is much better rounded, but I think the legs lost a little of the definition the other one hand. Unless you redesigned that portion on purpose. Regardless, very nice!

Keep me upated!

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 11/24/2008 4:19:14 PM

I hope so, i'm gunna try and get something like that on my website. Might take a few days tho.

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) at 11/24/2008 2:47:06 PM

Is there any way I can get a progress feed of some sort, hehe?

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 11/23/2008 10:34:15 PM

Ooooooh in several hundred days.

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) at 11/23/2008 5:54:59 PM

You really have made it look alive!

castiboy (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 10/3/2008 9:05:44 AM

really digging the new paintjob here, the more vivid colours are great.
great detail and animation there, goes to favs :D

neota (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 10/2/2008 10:14:18 PM

A real work of art.
7/8 (the -1 is because I think the AA on the near legs could be clearer -- might even be better to have LESS of it)

Chace (Level 5 Captain) at 10/2/2008 10:10:09 AM

This is just pure art.

Demon (Level 3 Stalker) at 10/1/2008 10:23:08 PM

Awesome, integrating as I type.

Bacteriophage (Level 5 Sniper) at 10/1/2008 7:03:46 PM

god I love this. Whatever game this is for, you're finishing it. Now.

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) at 9/30/2008 9:30:09 PM

so much personality in his shot :)

hoping we will see that game :p

Bloo (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 9/30/2008 7:01:37 PM

the colors u used on this one are perfect n da animations are cool too!

xXHalfieXx (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 9/30/2008 5:29:12 PM

I respect that. Take your time.

DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 9/30/2008 5:14:43 PM

Man I loved the chunky version and was sad when you said you were leaning back towards the original style again. What you've done here is exactly what you said, melded the best of both together and tied it up with your latest level of skill. Great job man, I'm looking forward to a game someday...maybe by the time my kids can play it =P

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 9/30/2008 4:57:23 PM

Oh Halfie i wouldn't put a date on it. Years, years... very casual.

xXHalfieXx (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 9/30/2008 3:20:53 PM

Looks awesome. When are you expecting a game?

skeddles (Level 11 Psychopath) at 9/30/2008 12:54:49 PM

Mmmm, smexy.

Quake (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 9/30/2008 11:32:14 AM

Rustbug = <3. Just saying.

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 9/30/2008 9:57:08 AM

awezomenezzzz~

I realy like the colors. seem more vibrant. seems I have to alter the lady to the current style ;)

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 9/30/2008 9:30:24 AM

Yeah, how it goes up? As wrong as it is i just kinda like it. Still, there's always a chance i'll change it someday.

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 9/30/2008 9:16:43 AM

for someone reason that shooting sequence doesnt seem to be right... they way the cannon answers to the drawback...

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 9/30/2008 9:09:44 AM

Thanks guys.
@PixelSpy: The idea is still there, for when the Rustbug double-jumps. However i've still gotta work on that animation. So don't worry!

Souly (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 9/30/2008 9:08:27 AM

I see that jump improvement nice going man. <3 Fav'd

PixelSpy (Level 5 Captain) at 9/30/2008 8:08:44 AM

What a great improvement! The new colors are so much sharper and the anim is very smooth. Only one thing, why did you decide to remove the thrust boost animation when he jumps? I kinda liked that.

8bitty (Level 3 Private Eye) at 9/30/2008 7:52:03 AM

wow, i just looked back at the original rustbug sprite and i have to say. you've come a long way my friend. great stuff.

Larwick (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 9/30/2008 7:14:37 AM

Lol chess fail.
Thanks guys.

chess (Level 8 Shodan) at 9/30/2008 6:42:31 AM
