Meet Frogmin

Wecome back to another from scratch pixel art. This post was done for a challenge on Pixel Joint. 

The prompt for the challenge was as follows: "Create two sprites of a new and original character - a large version and a small version. The small version of the character should be roughly half the size of the large version of the character."

I struggled with doing a Chun-Li style character at first. I even spent about four hours on a sketch and initial mock up before I lost the passion for the character design. When I moved on to this more playful and cartoon-like character it became much more of a joy to work on. For those interested here is that original design sketch.

Harbinger of Fall

Here are some pixels to celebrate my birthday. Everyone have fun and enjoy on me. :3

Chubby Jumping

This defensive animation is for dodging lower moves. I debated whether the character should jump straight up or do the current back bending move. Since these animations are meant to be played in reaction to another characters action I decided to keep the back bend.

This is a minor update to the last animation adding some particle effects.

Fire Squats

 I have been working diligently on this animation for the last week. Trying to make sure it makes sense has bloated the frame count to eleven. I think I still need to add some squish when the butt hits the ground, but for now it is acceptable.

Skull Mountain

This design was created for Alpine Assassin's new shirt.

I wanted to go with a clash of curves and angles to draw more attention to the fact that this is a two word, word-picture message. I am not sure about the crack leading down to the eye socket, but their needed to be some link between the two elements.

Upwards Offensive

This is the tentative final version of this animation. It might look pretty much the same from yesterday but I tweaked just about every pixel.

Here is yesterday's post so you can do a little bit of comparison. I have a ton of fun making the belly so jiggly. :3

High Heat

The fire elemental animating is not dead! I have been plugging away at this little animation for a week and it is surprisingly difficult to animate fire in a fun and sexy way. I don't think this is finished by a long shot. Think of this as a progress shot.
