Hey kids, did you enjoy that Ronald skin? No? Never? Not if it was the only skin to exist? Well, I'm here to cure your SmashBro Skin Deficiency! It's a good thing, because the condition can worsen as it develops. No, seriously, call a doctor or something. You might end up getting this nasty rash on your back, eeeeugh I'd rather not bring it up but it gets to be pretty unsightly.

Anyway, to avoid breaking out into a hideous itching fit, I am providing the masses with the biggest dick move ever.

Bandwagons aren't necessarily a bad thing. I mean really, it could be much, much worse than Puyo.

after you see this, I highly doubt it could ever get worse

Well... he's here.
He finally showed up.
And he knows where I'm hiding.

He even comes with his own bot!

Bahahaha! I was waiting for that response!

Yeah, originally I had Ronald with a little grin, since he's such a smug little bastard and all, but I didn't think it looked good once I put the rotations in. I still have the frames though, dare to compare.



I am maining this so hard once I finish it.

OK, problems and stuff.

His neck appears out of nowhere on the back sprite, then magically disappears when rotating.
Huh... how did I fail to notice that? Fixed... by removing the neck. I'll add it back later.
His eyes from the side looks all weird.
The back-r / back-l does look strange, so I removed it... unless you mean something else?
On the back right, the little spike of hair that is visible on the side is gone.
... I don't know what you're talking about. Help. :I
His arms on the side are a bit too short. Furthermore, the side arms are not in the same position as the front-right.
The arms are the same length in every frame! The side arms do look off, though. Noted.
His head on the side is about one pixel shorter than the other rotations, for some reason...
Impossible. I made the side head first, and made all the other heads the same size by measuring against the side frame. If it "looks" shorter, it's probably because that was the only sprite I bothered to not make from scratch; the head shape and the hair are both references to Ronald's original (midget-sized) sprite.

And keep the grin.

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, that. Yeah, that was intentional. The "curl" was in his GB sprite, so I carried it over.

The other frames (and the bottom half of the side frame too) are based on Ronald's official artwork.

Of course, if it looks bad, I can always change it / take it out.

also real life go away

The colours that I'm using:
- black
- white
- skin
- blue and cyan, obviously
- sky blue
- light green
- dark green
- light brown
- dark brown
- turquoise
- slightly darker turquoise

... That's a lot of colours, now that I list them all. Yeah, I should work on that.

Why is his hair outlined a different color?

Because Ronald. This could probably be changed too, though.

I just realized that I may have a small problem.

FIRING FRAMES.

I don't want to be another lazy "buster arm" guy, so any ideas?

I was thinking of a side-throw (like, for cards) or a forward point, but anything's fine.

Well then, give me suggestions! I need them!

Ronald has been released!

BAH



The first one is the sprite Korby oh so generously made JUST FOR ME. Oh, well I made the feet, but the rest was done completely by Korby. I can't thank you enough for the base, man.

The second one started off as just "me being silly with Nido's face" but eventually evolved into a few minor changes like adjusting the shoulders and making her overalls more... erm, form-fitting. The third one's basically my attempt at a front frame, using the second one as a base.

The fourth and fifth ones were taken from the second and third ones, but I didn't like how Nido had "Roll arms" so I changed her stance a bit. I also changed up her shirt, making the sleeves shorter and changing the area above the overalls to reveal her skin.
