Canceled Let's do a He-Man/She-Ra collaboration!

This is biggest sprite i could do from him,  i think if its bigger then its too blurry and lines are too thick

This is original size

amazing!! it looks like you do't have any limitation bWWd.

the he-man sprites looks oustanding!

the walk animation at the left is better. The one at the right looks like he is pissed off.

yeah, while still good, it looks like an ogre walk animation

I formatted my pc recently and I tried to run this tool again. Again, its just a blank screen.
I choose the form I want, but the form doesn't appears on the canva (but I can see its name at the left side)

the right walking stance would fit great for the likes of Beastman

So it does open but buttons arent working? I only tried it on vista and XP.

This is weird, maybe somethings wrong with opengl, sometimes i have some clipboard leftovers on sides in stickman and i know its because of opengl.
Maybe try to change view and antigrain engine, or download that older version from website to see if it works.

So it works for You finally?
great, lets dance ;D

Im gonna do video tutorial soon how i assemble characters from bodyu parts, all im using is image from drawing window on left, then i load image and from window on left i pick layers and choose deform, then i insert every image in its own deform layer, then you can add control points to stretch deform layers with them, if you add point go to deform layer and find setup in menu in the middle bottom, then you can choose what points you want to assign to deform layer and thats basically it, you do it to one deform layer after another.There is also switch layer where you can switch between different body parts so you can use mouth open/mouth closed or entirely different head or different hands etc.
These tutorials are made by stickman programmer but all you need is deform layer and control points, sometimes switch layer.
I learned how to use deform from this :  Working With Masking Inside Deform Node
Also there is value called units to control deform to be more smooth or less

[Bloodbane]

Looks great bWWd! looks like you don't need to rip alot from cartoon series .

 

[esn23]

[Die_In_Fire]

I made this enemy char today

I will probably use this stance

 

[O Ilusionista]

Will you use the belly dance as stance?

 

[ABK]

I dont know maybe i will hide some special moves in characters ;D
I tried to add some more shadow to sprite but it looks less like a cartoon now, im not sure which one is better

I think this kind of shadow works best, i also tried to animate his hair but i dont know if its worth it, its the most time consuming part in animation

In beatem ups you never have sprites with both feet on the same line, thats just basics, its to match camera angle and it adds depth to the sprites, if both feet are on the same axis then it looks to flat, its only used in platformers where straight lines are used for top parts of the platforms.

Its not as visible on smallers capcom sprites but its there, one foot is higher .

 

[ABK]

i get what you mean, it was made from this production drawing,

i think i remember when ive seen this pic for first time i thought woah that leg is a bit too long, but its actually the other one being too short, i edited and its like that now

 

[Die_In_Fire]

just remembered when I saw the He-man/She-ra movie on the theater with my father (RIP)... jeez I'm old
