Tornado The Wanderer

I'm trying to make a Tornado wad, but how do I get the frames? And how do I get any other sprites, pictures etc.

You draw them, scan them, and edit them as necessary on your computer.

How do I control the size and animations (like ng sonic)
Can I make the spindash animation and the jump animation different?

I'm sorry to pull this old crap again, but have you even touched the wiki?

To directly answer your questions, it's just like cartooning. Draw all the frames, so that they go together in a running animation when you switch between them quickly. If you want to actually change the number of frames in an animation, you'll hafta use a SOC.

Ok

You draw them, scan them, and edit them as necessary on your computer.

...or make them entirely on computer with programs like Paint or Photoshop for instance.

There are two ways to resize the sprites, if you have them but want to make them a different size.

1. Use a program like Paint or Photoshop on each individual frame.
2. Put HIGHRES = 1 in your S_SKIN Lump.

The first one is harder, but it usually produces much better results than the second one. Also, the second one can only be used if you want to make the frames exactly HALF their original dimensions.
