How to Change Sprite Expressions?

#1 Post by polkapink »

Does anybody know or have resources/tips on how to change sprite expressions? Like how to animate them? For example, making them blink and making their mouths move. Kind of like all those talksprites in Homestuck.

Hiya there,

Here's some references in the cookbook that might help for the eye blinking:

and here for mouth moving:

Hmmm, you can use Macromedia Flash, right? :D

use an art software that can use layers like photoshop :)
separate the open eye layer from the whole body, same with closed eyes
save open and blinked separately then animate using the code given above...

same with mouth..
