I've seen it proven so many times that practice makes better, so I'm making this thread to practice in an organized manner.
I'm going to try to make animations in 48 hours, which is going to be really hard for me because it took me about three weeks to make this:


Anyway, this thread works as follows:

1) People post challenges/requests/whatever for animations using the template. (See below)
Challenges should be moves, like "Make x character do a Flaming Shoryuken", not "Make this character do the carameldansen on their head and then do a back flip barrel role while playing the moonlight sonata on an air guitar "

2) Once I start a challenge, I'll give myself 48 hours to post something acceptable. If I don't make it, that's ok, but it's no reason not to make it next time.

3) Template:
Brief Description or base sprite of character:
Description of animation:
Style: (If you really want to make it hard for me)

Ok go c:

Brief Description or base sprite of character: SSF2 Captain Falcon.
Description of animation: Him doing the Caipirinha.
Style: None.

sure why not
Brief Description or base sprite of character: it's a lil lukepi
Description of animation: make him take one of his hands out of his pocket and scratch his head, then put them back
Style: n/a

Brief Description or base sprite of character: Jimi Hendrix (pretty self explanatory)
Description of animation: Playing the guitar moving his hand up and down the neck in a continuous loop.
Style: Cartoon proportions (Huge head, hair, guitar or anything really, have fun with it)

Please don't use the SSF2 Captain Falcon. Use the Gregarlink Captain Falcon if you must.

Currently using SSF2's palette and proportions but I'll change them in accordance to Damian's will.

Progress so far:

I SAID THIS WAS GOING TO BE HARD FOR ME.

Brief Description or base sprite of character: http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/Zero ... _CopyX.gif Copy X from Megaman Zero, the sprites where he's in the Golden-Winged Armor are what I'm pretty much talking about.
Description of animation: Just have him breaking off a wing from his armor, and it turning into a sword.
Style: None

Base sprite: Model ZX
Description of animation: Have him perform Zero's Lvl 3 Hyper from MvC3. Here's a vid for reference:

Style: None

Done! With 11 hours to spare too.


@Sage: Be realistic please

Sure I'll give you a reasonable challenge. It looks like you've gotten a lot better.


You see this woman right here. I want you to make her do a front flip. I don't want the flip from a 2D view . I want the flip at the angle she at right now. Good luck

One last requirement. It have to be 6 frames long.

Oh. My bad.

Okay, well, can you do the pose of the start up of his Shadow Mode? It's in the vid too. If you can't, I'll think of something else.

Groovy. Only thing I noticed is that the back elbow doesn't really work with the perspective.

I have a little challenge for you if you have time:

Sprite Sackboy's win animation from PSABR;

(should be around 0:55 or so)

Style: black outlines, max 4 shades a colour, final destination

Ok, sounds good everyone. Thanks for posting ^.^

Done in about 1 hour.

Some stuff I could change like the shoulder lowering but but eh...

i love you

Yay! Awesome!
