    Ugg character

    UGG character for an unreleased game.

    Eight frames of running animation for this odd looking caveman.  Can’t believe how long ago it was when I drew him, he’s about six years old now!  I think I should have given him little ears, maybe I’ll have a go at recreating him in Anime Studio?

    Rocky Memphis and the temple of Ovine

    Rocky Memphis and the temple of Ovine

    If you’re reading this on a proper computer rather than a mobile device, you might notice a strange little banner at the top of the page right below the menu.

    Click it to give it focus, then use the cursor keys and Z to jump.  Just a bit of fun for the website, this is a cut down version of the massive Rocky Memphis which is available to download from this site.

    Spriter

    Spriter

    I started Spriter way back many, many years ago as there weren’t any affordable sprite drawing and animation tools.

    There were some D-Paint-like tools starting to emerge, but some felt a bit cumbersome to use and none had any usable animation support in them.  I also wanted some features I was used to in Photoshop, such as layers.  So the idea for Spriter was born.

    It was written in a language called Jamagic, which had a rich set of drawing commands and the power of required to make Spriter work.

    Unfortunately, Spriter has never been completed.  Partly because there was always a game remake to do, but also due to the maturing of tools out there all will much better animation support in them.  My favourite of these tools for bitmap animation is Graphics Gale which achieves most of what I wanted in Spriter.  I also recommend Anime Studio which is a vector graphic animation tool.  Both are truly wonderful graphics applications.

    Above is a screenshot of my beloved Spriter.  I keep going back to it every now and again but I doubt I’ll ever finish it.

    Flaming animations from Imogen.


    The fire and flaming torch were so fluid in the original Imogen game we decided to leave them exactly as-is and just add some colour.

    Imogen, the wizard (not the singer or the reality TV bint) from the game with the same name.

    Several frames of animation for Imogen walking.
