Animating a sprite sheet. - General

Im recoloring and modifiing a sprite sheet of allen walker This one [url]http://sdb.drshnaps.com/objects/2/2/Sprite/JUS_Allen.png[/url] And i was wondering if somone knows of one of following. A text guide on how to do this. Or a video guide with commetary. Or maybe somone could do it for me. Also while we are here. How about we share some sprite makeovers weve done. Edit: im also open to creating my own sprites. I would just like some sort of base model to start on. also in just noticed how bad the quality of that sprite is. So Id rather this. tldr: Need base sprite. Need tutor/mentor. Want animation guide.

I suppose you'd just cut each one out of the sheet and position it in the correct way. I did it with this. [img]http://www.myaperturelabs.com/forum/download/file.php?avatar=2913_1322920621.gif[/img]

As for formatting, for image use the tags [noparse][img]-image URL here-[/img][/noparse]

The sprite I showed you up there was from Mother 3, which doesn't use a huge amount of pixels for it's sprites, while the sprites from the game you showed are fairly high resolution.

I guess you could say i want to do stuff in the middle about 100x100p max for each frame. Which i believe are the sprites i links. I don't think those are all that complicated honestly. Thanks Beetle. Why'd you change your ava?

Only the profile updates, I didn't change my picture. It's just displaying the one I had before changing it to what it is now.
