(yes, she is that big, I will prob change this or not)

NOTE: 1. The sprites are going to look like shitty MS-Paint drawings (this is mainly because I am doing this all on a mouse, which I hate doing) 2. It’s not going to have shading as well, this is just an artstyle-thing since I never include shading in any of my drawings at all and finally, 3. The sizes/designs of the sprites are going to be inconsistent in certain angles.

She’s just going to be a very basic character with basic moves, such as

  1. Tail Hop
  2. Slide & Stomp

There’s originally going to be more but that kinda involves coding and LUA, which I don’t know how to do but here’s a docx that haves the ideas I want to do with her after I finished her

SwiftTheDragon Ideas For SRB2 after finishing her Sprites lololol

Flamethrower - Swift breathes fire (because she’s a dragon LMAO) like a flamethrower goes under the SPIN Button. Random Combat Move (unlikely) - When pressing Custom 1, Swift does a move that cycles, either being a jumping claw attack, a basic tail swipe/claw attack move that works as a reflecto...

It’s prob either get done in about a month or two (if I’m not lazy lol) consider projects like these is stuff I want to get it out the way fast so I have to worry about it later but I still update this thread with changes, some ideas etc etc

Also, also if you wanna help me (mainly with the LUA stuff) reach out towards me on in this thread or DMs
 
There's already fan art of her and that gave me the push to try drawing something new!
It seems that overanalyzing PT's artstyle wasn't a waste of time after all. :worry:

I used the waiting sprites for reference, so It might not look like the character's orignal design.
Cool addon btw, and also cool silly goober. :> I will patiently wait for release.

Swift is almost done! :wow:

I just have to finish the remaining NIGHTS, Bounce/Land and finally, the walking and running sprites (God, I'm going to HATE making these, unless, someone wants to helps me *wink, wink* lol) Sadly, the Slide and Stomp will not be the be the release version since I didn't find no open assets LUA for it, so rip

But anyways, I expect to be finished with her next week!!!!

This may be the fastest spriting of any character I've seen on this site. Even though I joined in late 2022 and even then I barely used this site.
You created this thread last friday and now it's barely friday and you come out saying that she's almost finished. d a m n . . .

Haha jk, I'm basically restarting all my progress to redraw it in a more "cleaner" look (I really didn't like how it looks in the first place)

I be done with her NEXT MONTH and if I don't, feel free to bully me

ok bye lol

Perhaps you could making the old version available, atleast for archival purposes. Even just the sprites, so hours of your work won't just poof out of
existance. (And because I'm a specialist in the rough pixel art style. (and maybe because I could clean them up as a challange, that could be fun.))
And I have two questions, by next month you mean late august or early/mid september? And the second, will the cleaner look like the new idle sprites you shared one post earlier? (If yes then really cool! :welcometoreleases:)

I say, mid or late September is what I'm aiming for and also yes to that second part

I also have another Swift thing coming (which it's in approving phase now), it's for Ring Racers and that's also getting a redraw as well, it's coming late-august since I can get done with that faster

P.S before I even start writing - If I somehow sound rude then you need to know that I didn't meant it and I just don't realize if the way I put it my thoughts into words makes it sound rude. :dramahog:
So first of all, was this build rushed? Cause' if it was... then I want to make sure that you polish those sprites so you won't feel regret after you look back on this addon. :> And I haven't thought that she's going to be like 2x larger than any Srb2 character I played as. But I will be honest, the incosistent sprite size doesn't look very good and I'm glad that you take extra time to rework those. For me, the sweet spot for her size is the front standing sprite, she's big enough to be noticable but not enough to be jarring to look at. (0:14 in the video for comparison with SA Sonic.)
Also look at this and say that this is not the silliest thing ever.

Just a big goober destroying everthing in it's path.
It's kinda late for me though so I might forget about some things I want to talk about so I might edit this message if I forget about something.
And If some things I wrote here sound stoopid and all over the place then this is the reason. :|
And I feel that the original style you were going for can work, it's just need to be better cooked. Like that!

Yeah, the build was rushed, I was planning to polish these sprites when I actually finished the whole thing, but I never finished it in the first place.

She was originally going to the size of the basic SRB2 cast (because I basically use Sonic's sprites are base) but change it so I have more space to work adding some stuff like her tail and for being her canon size lol. Also, the some of the bigger sprites (like the Melee sprites) are due to them being sized at 200+ instead of the 100+ size.

Damn, this actually looks WAY better then OG one, I guess I have to adopt some of these changes when I'm remaking the new one

Btw, Thanks for the feedback!
