Description
Just as one of my first animations uploaded was a lizardman, so too is this.It's my attempt at a fighter sprite... not as smooth as a good fighter sprite should be but... it came out decently, I guess.
EDIT: Tried to make the animation a bit smoother, added a frame, changed how the cloth falls a bit. Not sure if anyone can tell the difference, but I am marking it as a major edit. The weird left-leg issue has been fixed as well.
Edit the second: Loincloth has a little less rigidity on the backswing.
Edit again: I just devoted ANOTHER two hours to this, because people kept bringing stuff up. Is everyone HAPPY? 'Cuz I'm not touching it again

It's adorable, especially when they whip their tail. I think it looks great, better than what I've seen on some gba/ds games at least.
IDK if you've already been asked this, but what did you use to make this?

I wouldn't recommend my process, but I did each of the frames separately on a sprite sheet in Paintshop Pro 7, then copied and pasted them into Animator 3 (which comes with it) and kept tweaking and repeating. It took forever. I've since used GraphicsGale for some stuff, and it's a good deal more integrated.

Well, if such a process is necessary, than it is necessary. I would spend long and tedious hours anyway ^^
Thanks for your time and answers

Paintshop Pro 7.04 and Animation Shop 3 (which comes as part of a bundle with PSP). They're not the best programs for animating pixel art out there. I hear great things about GraphicsGale.

Thats amazing! Great job, love the shading and detail, and you did a great job on the cloth.
20k Downloads!! Wow!

Wait, it has that many? Seriously? ... That's a little worrying. I should probably run that thing through Tineye and see where it's wound up

Oh this edit is nice, though now I feel like I'm picky and I caused someone to make a second edit to thier work. . _.

Wow, it's so smooth. * o*
I love how you made the tail flick back.
It seems rather fast, and very varied. This is nice, though it seems a little much for a fighter sprite. Then again I've never played any 2D Street Fighter like games so I dunno, maybe they have very fidgity fighters too. XD I'm used to seeing smooth, rather plain animations with the few fighting games I have played.
I wish I had more patience to sprite. D:

That's quite good, but I think one thing that makes it look a little "off" is the lack of follow-through with the loincloth. It blows out, comes back, and just... stops right there. Actually, that goes for the arms, too. Just a little more "bounciness" and flexibility to those areas and it'd be one solid fighter sprite.

At this point, I don't think it'll get fixed. Spent an extra 2 hour today fixing the leg/tail movement. And if you can believe it, the cloth was previously even more rigid.
Maybe if I feel like it tomorrow, but I've sunken like... half a day's worth of hours into it already.

Fair enough. I've tried my hand at a few (extremely simple, compared to this) animations, and I know what kind of time it takes to put something together that's even halfway decent.

I saw it at Dropbox! Very smooth animation, seems to come directly from a figthing game.

i agree, i think it is decent, its pretty good as far as general animation goes, nice character design as well

This looks really good! I wasn't really thinking along the lines of "Not Smooth" in my inbox, but more rather, "Very speedy." So it can be settled like that too!
I also understand how hard it is to do pixel art animation and I hope you get better so we can see more. This is really something to see.

Wow, nice! I love how you animated the tail swinging like that

I think the only issue with this is the abrupt movement on the loincloth. It could be a little smoother in comparison to the rest of the animation..
Impressive work regardless though.

I was wondering what all those frames were for X3
Excellent job!

Animations are a pain

I don't do animations, but I know the work that goes into making one, and seriously, you put forth quite a bit of effort if the constant updating of the file through the night wasn't an indicator XD This is your first attempt at a fighter sprite? Honestly, I think the animation is rather smooth and in my humble opinion, I think it turned out amazingly XD

I'm glad you think so. Some people on PJ put me to shame
That last one isn't a fighter sprite, but it's awesome.
