these are coming out very nicely, you might already know this since they're works in progress but i just wanted to point out that seems like his helmet is lacking some shine maybe and some shading in his arm is pretty much all i see, are you using minkoffs system as well? ya i dont have the patience or experience yet to animate my ready poses or anything other than attack and item poses,etc. either, giving them that breathing effect seems tough. hope to see more in the future Holder

[BlackMask]

Love it !!!! reminds me of Astroboy type stuff

Okay there's not many at the moment, okay three and one's a colour variation but it'll get there. At the moment these are Sideview battlers not animated battlers, depending on responses and time available I may make animated versions.

Cobra Commander (Colour variation)

Actual Character

I'll be doing more of the next set, for now here's Cindarr:

Actual Character

Looking for as much feedback, comments and crits as possible please.

Thanks BlackMask, Dsoulja85 I should have posted a picture from the cartoon as it's not meant to be really shiny armour but rather dull looking. There's some with white armour so it would be hard to define that without going over the top on the brightness but I see what you're saying.

Here's just an update I am going to make these animated and I've been searching for a gif animator, so here's Cindarrs Idle pose:

EDIT: Just to explain his posture looking a bit ape-like, his animal is an ape as it represents him and how he acts in short.

[Despite]

You spriting skills make me drool!


Good job and keep it up!

[Holder]

Thanks Despite, I'm still not at the point where I'm fully happy with my style on these.

Here's the progress on Cindarr, added a defend pose and what's a battler without a character set So that's now in production.

C&Cs as always please.

Making animated sprites involves some serious study into moving dynamics of the body, and I say those sprites are coming on really well holder. The limbs flex nice and freely too. I've been using Irfanview for quite a while, and its great for this kind of thing when editing.

[Holder]

I was having some trouble on the exact part you mentioned lol The legs were a nightmare to get to the stage that I was alright with.
I've never used Irfanview before, I was just using Graphics Gale with transparent layers. May be something I consider in the future though thanks.

[Holder]

Just a quick edit before I leave for work, forgot to upload the BIG alteration I've made on the battler.
Once I actually started to look at the battler once the character set was done I noticed that it looks like it's covered in mist. I've altered the palette file to make it more saturated so it stands out better (Hopefully it's better lol)


C&C please.

[Michael]

Looks like we have another professional at Battlers and nice artwork here. I really do like the Animated one, what GIF program did you find to make something like that? Looks like it would be hard work.

[Holder]

Thanks very much Michael. When it came to animating it in the gif I already had the four frames as .png I found a free program called Beneton Movie GIF on download.com, I placed the four pictures into the program and set the wait times, it seemed to do the trick.

[Holder]

An update to show that I've now completed a 'dead/down' pose for Cindarr, I didn't just want to rotate the battler so I've had to do alot of work on the shading and angles.
How many of yous would consider using a full set like this? You obviously don't have to know the show to use the image of the character.

Holder, those look really professional. Nothing stands out as being wrong with the Visionary (and i LOVE Cobra Commander!!!)

I've always thought the battle sprite work (animation) on Fire Emblem is some of the best ive ever seen. have a look at those for pointers.
Fire Emblem
Just a link, although there are hundreds of others on the Toob.

Brilliant work though!

Hey Snaffles glad to hear you like them I've heard that game mentioned quite a bit on here, think I'll check it out for when I go back to animating these.

Topic Title has changed this is now Holders Teamplate Pack WIP, yep going to get things organised, start from the basics and work my way though this.

It's no longer just about Battlers but we'll come to that bridge later, for now I've got two new Images actually they're Templates.
I'd like to thanks Runaway_Bro (I can't recall actual screen name sorry began with an L) and Electron from the IRC for the support that was given recently.

I'm going to be making a standard sword pose if there's no improvement suggestions on these, as well everyone tends to have a sword user as a main character or at least one person in the team has one.

[Savage Sword]

I really like these sprites. They look more "human" in terms of height and anatomy. Is there a template for these or is it custom made?

[Holder]

Thanks Savage Sword it's all made by me, I'm currently making these templates for everyone to use (with credit given please).

The ones above is a standard idle stance, once I know people like them the way they look and any alterations have been made then I'll move onto creating various weapon stances and possibly animate them.

[Savage Sword]

I look forward to them. Its about time we started seeing anatomically correct sprites in our RPG Makers.

[dsoulja85]

goodluck holder, the battler and template are looking sweet, i look forward to the template. i'll be sure to add at least 1 or 2 nonanimated battler sheets to resources by using it. hopefully more people will be inspired to give sideview battlers a try, to everyone else (they don't have to be animated to see them in the sideview battle system!) for those that dont know.

[Holder]

I hope to start something new Savage Sword

dsoulja85 wow cool, thanks I can't wait to see them if you do get round to doing some.

[Fearoftheunknown]

I commented.

And I like the things holder. Keep up good work.
