ok I did it (sort of)
its not done yet
its sort of a draft copy I made just for practice (ok so maybe I fucked it up) (the frames got all mixed up and its too fast but I can fix that) (

Im gonna re-rip the sprites and redo it

[edit]
I got the animation down

exactly what I wanted, now if I could find out a way to remove the background...
(btw I used the guide from This thread

 

[donkeyknob]

top job man. im not sure how to remove the background other then to suggest make it transparent?

uhh. yeah thanks I fixed it though. and yeah it is a good guide
(btw the Link is in my first post too)

 

[PhatPlaya]

I've never really tried ripping sprites, I didnt know it was so easy.
Just tested it out with DKC 2.

 

[the_ghost]

hey thats pretty good

I think we did well for first timers

btw how many did that take to make?
mine has about 50

and also I just found out that I cant use the animation I just made as an avatar
becuase of the 100x100 pixel limitation here, but its okay I'll use on the other forum
that I go to they have a 105x150 limitation

 

[PhatPlaya]

Oh, the DKC one took 126 frames.
My avatar took 53.

 

[the_ghost]

hey thats a cool avatar
I think Im gonna make a sig with
Ken throwing a Hedoken (is that how you spell it?)

 

[PhatPlaya]

Close enough .. just replace the first E with a Y, I think..
Now. Im off to sleep.

 

[the_ghost]

Im off to sleep.

yeah me too, I been up all night


[edit]
I had to make this one before going to sleep

Gouki seemed to be 'moved' a bit after fireball.

 

[the_ghost]

Gouki seemed to be 'moved' a bit after fireball.

by gouki, do you mean Akuma? yeah he slides back after throwing the fireball.
I got these sprites from Steet fighter alpha 2

 

[montpics]

Yup, Gouki/Akuma is the same person.

Throw away those black ones which 'indicates' Gouki moved. Better that way as it looked.

 

[the_ghost]

oh yeah I'll fix it later im too tired to do it now


[off topic]
hey, you got a new av/sig combo, cool
Its about time for me to get a makover too ^ lol

hey I have that game[contra hard corps]
I can make animations for it if you want

No need as I quite satisfied with the current state.

Furthermore, there are dozen banners waiting to be viewed here in this forum. :laugh:

 

[the_ghost]

oh, yeah I read the thread you made.
Im currently In the process of making a banner for my sig
so It would be nice to know what sizes/dimensions are going to be restricted
before I finish it

any ways back on topic

NEXT>

 

[Jale]

Not bad people

This was my first animation. Not big thing though

 

[the_ghost]

this thread is not 56k friendly

oh I remember that
It was your avatar a while back
