A Walking Sprite That Doesn't Walk

On the sprite note. I went back and re-drew the walk cycle completely, using a different template cycle (however toning the legs movement down a little).

It's better.

Instead of just jumping around all over the place and looking like a shite, my sprite now does produce sensible movement. Unfortunately it still doesn't walk. Just try to imagine seeing someone walking down your street. Their arms are swinging perfectly beside them, just as God intended... However their legs just flick about in mid air and their head jumpily dips in and out of their shoulders.

Still not right.

Problem is, after sorting the arms, and being ready and eager to start work on those bastard legs I was carted off on holiday. Fortunately for me, it wasn't to Cornwall, and it wasn't with my parents. Instead I flew out to Jersey late notice with my girlfriend.

Sod the sprite.

Now I'm back, and I can't be arsed. You see, after flying back (admittedly it was only 40 minutes) I went straight off to Greenbelt Christian Arts Festival. This meant a twenty minute walk from camp to the main stage; sleeping on a mat, with a matchstick pillow; sleeping in a chair outside one night and not getting to sleep 'til 4am.

Zzzzzz.

Still, after a boring day at home and a sudden realisation for the ridiculous amount of spare time I've got I've started work on the sprite again. This time I'm keeping the one's I have, however deleting the bottom half of them and drawing the legs again, this time not drawing the character's cloak on top. I will finish the leg cycle and check it's all working, before adding the cloak afterwards.

Back to the sprite.



P.S. He needs a name. Suggestions please.
