Ok, got the blinking animation



Also, I noticed a problem with the start-up animation of the deskslam pose. There is no attorney's badge xD Here it is fixed.



So that's it, I submitted Marcus to the Random Characters to Use thread. Some other day I'll do the damage pose.

So let's see, I'm about to publish my trial, and I need some previous feedback on the sprites, especially on the protagonist one.

Here you have him, Andrews Livington:



I... actually would be bothered as hell to fix them; since all the animations are already done... And doing everything from cero again would give a migraine. BUT JUST SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO, don't get influenced because of what I said. You will be doing me a favor

He has a very common problem: lack of frankenspriting. It's pretty hard to see this as an original character, so much as a basic Edgeworth edit.

I refer to my guide for more details: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=6194

The poses are pretty well put together though - I really like the nervous sprite.

@LunchPolice: Thanks

Ok, what do you think of this new design? I'll put the previous one for comparison:

You should mess around with the suit.

I prefer the first one, to be honest.

Hm... Is just that the cravat and jacket lining fits quite good the way I envisioned this character, that's the reason I can't get out of that setting :S What a screw up, I'm blocked right now about what to do with him, and he had to be the protagonist!! -_- Guess I'll continue on my other characters to clear my mind a little bit.

So, two other characters for my trial, what do you think?



One thing, the second character is supposed to be very basic, as he is the first opponent. That's why he just has a normal suit, I DON'T want to add anything flashy to him.

The first one is the detective of the case. I kept the glasses of you know who because he is supposed to have a funky image, it isn't because I didn't think about it :S

The new Andrews is a significant improvement.

As for the other two... for the first one, I strongly recommend using a different palette of blue. This one is much too bright. Maybe use another character for reference? He's missing some Tie at the bottom, by the way. Also, I recommend reshaping either the beard, the glasses, or both. He's much to Gant-ish right now. Maybe use another character's beard over the top of it? If you're aiming for a sort of funky image, some half-moon glasses would be cool.

The second one... well, the design is dull, but as you said that's the idea. That said, I recommend the same thing with the suit. It's also too bright. His hair is missing some outline, by the way.

First character: I think I'll go with the glasses, since they are the easiest to recognize from who it comes. Oh, and the tie is not missing the last part, you know the clip that goes on top of the tie?

Example:

Well, it's that (I didn't take it from Grossberg, just to say). It's just that the shirt covers it and you can't realize the shape of it :S And I don't think see it's bright... At least to my screen's level of brightness.

Second character: Weird... The palette of this character's is Grossberg's old suit... Since I took it from an official characer I think it fits the AA-style. And about the outline of the hair I don't know why I did all the animations already and didn't fix that thing ¬¬

Next character:

Ohh! I like!

This is nice. ^_^

Few comments. One, Maggey is a very obvious base. When you use her, make sure to use only one major piece. (Like the eyes, hair, face, glasses.) You used three, and Maggey shines through too much. Two, clean up the lines around the camera/give the shirt some shading pl0x. Three, even though it's a nightmare at first, you need to go through and make the hat not have a red outline, as your sprite doesn't have red hair.

Ok, I'm thinking of adding a new character to the "Random Characters to use". It's going to have an assistant set as well. Here you have his design, what do you think?



I couldn't go nuts on the face because I had to use parts of sprites that had an assistant pose... And currently I don't know what to add to the hair.

Not bad, but his face looks much too Diego right now. Also, I recommend doing something with the hairstyle. It's like Larry's signature thing. Teensy bit distracting, you know?

Also, something's really up with the anatomy of his neck and chest.

The only Diego thing there is the eyes and mouth. Nose is from Phoenix and the eyebrows are scratched. And as I wrote I can't figure out what to do with the hair, I thought of adding the front area of Edgeworth's hair, but it doesn't fit the civilian-sports image this guy is supposed to have.
