There and back again~
The hurt frames look better, but while the running frames look a little more natural, the tail still looks awfully stiff. This is also the same problem with the walk frames, where the tail appears to be immobile while she's blazing forward. Maybe part of the problem is the black outline, how does it looks with a normal outline?

The black outline does look unnatural, so I removed it from all of the sprites. I had also almost totally forgot about the tail's movement in the walking frames, glad you brought it up.
Sorry there's no transparency in the gifs, I feel too lazy tonight. :P
Is this better?
Also, I just got the front-diagonal spring-up sprite done. It might need more work though.
EDIT: Some work on her side diagonal spring-up frame is done. Although there's something I don't like about the eye.

He's right. It has to move in a U way. Should be really easy.

Just look at half the releases section. ShadowRE, AmyRE, Sally, and somewhere his mythical SonicRE. They're all his.
I really like the way this is turning out. Makes me sad that I can't enjoy this game online. I'd love to actually race someone, using Blaze...
Although... I'm not sure if it was pointed out earlier, but shouldn't the ends of her hair match the color of her tail? Or is the current color a design choice I missed the explanation for?

I never really gave it that much thought, to be honest, so you didn't miss any explanations. :P SRB2's palette doesn't give me much to work with, so I thought since we have to use light-blue for her fur, that the hair should be blue also. This way, her face looks less like a patchwork of purples and blues that the last Blaze WAD was.SpaceKGreen said:
I left the tail purple simply because it looked better that way, and so her jacket won't be only thing that changes color. It helps people using lower screen resolutions in software mode to better identify team mates in the game. I would have her fur change color, but none of the colors go well with her jacket, so it looks weird. :P
Plus her blue is too bright so it wouldn't change colors very well.

I'd probably try coloring the tips purple, but eh, it's kinda late to be trying that now. :P
Anyway, back at the WADBase, darkness claw had a drawing of Blaze for me to edit into a character select image. I shrank it to 128x128 pixels in mtPaint, then drew over it with KolourPaint.
How does this look?
EDIT: Oops, screwed up on the eyes a little, >_> fixed.

Violo posted one of his own drawings of Blaze at the WADBase that I plan to edit for the RENET version. So yeah, she'll have a different pose, in one version or the other. :P Although if anyone else can come up with a better drawing, I'll try editing that into a character select image.
