Random Comics Sprites

So I was looking through my old old stuff, and I found a journal- A journal that I used from elementary all the way to the 8th grade.
What was in it? A lot of crappy comics- but one of them stood out.
I recognised only one character in it- The Yeckleflex. I didn't remember any of the others.
So I asked some of my friends about it- and they remembered.
Then, I remembered to- all the characters in that journal were pretty popular during most of my elementary years and some of the Middle School years.
It was the class mascot a few times, even.
Eventually, that popularity stopped, and I quit making those comics, and put the journal in a box, to be found today.
So I plan on reviving the series as a game- Due to the title, the comics were exrememly random.

Anyways, so I decided to sprite them, and here are a few of them ( Not finished or anywhere near it):



To explain a few characters...

1. The Stickman

The stickman never had a name, he was the first character in the comic. He was lonely, so he made a brother out of sticks. His brother came to life, but was small. So the stickman put him in a stretcher- It worked, but then he was uncontious. So that's how the adventure begun- The stickman dragged the uncontious stickman by a chain the whole adventure.

2. The Yeckleflex

The Yeckleflex came second. He was the star of the comics, mostly. The stickman found him and decided to keep him as his pet as he wen't to the Lego King- A king that's castle was made out of Lego's. The Yeckleflex told him only the Lego King could revive the stickmans uncontious brother, so the adventure contenued.

3. The Tetris Block

The Stickman, being crazy, found the Tetris block in an old abandoned arcade, and took it with him. The stickman used it for various things, but mostly wore it as a hat. Using differen't combinations on blocks, the Tetris Block was also useful for unlocking doors.

4. The Fairy

The Fairy never had a name. in the comics it was just reffered to as "The Fairy". The fairy is actually a spy, watching the group in disguise, but eventually gives up and joins the group.

5. The Dancing Banana Man

The Stickman wanted a new character, so he created the random character genorater. The machine randomly choose three words- a Verb, then an object, then a title. Amazingly, the one it created was Dancing Banana man, a character that was incredibly annoying to the Yeckleflex since it was always so happy.

6. Le Go

Pronounced Lay Gow, Le Go is a person made out of lego's, and resides in the Lego Kingdom, where the Lego King is. He helps out the group to get into the castle, and later permanetly joins their group.

7. The Colorful Soda Dude of Doom ( Abreviated CSDoD)

Man I must have been crazy to make this one. The CSDoD is an extremely carbonated soda that whoever drinks it get's amazing powers for a while- Well, they think they do. Really, it's like some kind of super-quick working drug.


Anyways, C+C please.

What is it something I said

Nice coloring. But the fairy, looks alot like navi.(From Ledgend of zelda.)

Walking could use a lot of improvement.

Originally that was who it was, but I decided to not do that and just forget the resembelinse (Sp?)

And about the walking... I can't animate Stickmen that well.
Oh, and an update:


The Yeckleflex has no arms or legs ( Rayman Rip-off anyone? ) So he has an odd animation.
And the Lego Walks like that because I wanted it to look strange since it's, well, lego's.

So I guess you would make a platformer out of this or something?
I'm slightly confused.

Yep.

Also, what are you confused about, the type of game, or something else?

I was confused about the type of game you would make. Hopefully you weren't like me and added actual backgrounds instead of plain white space or else you will have to make up brand new levels.

He that reminds me, I had done the same thing long ago. funny how when we are kids we make the most absurd things but we reflect on them in the future,

BTW nice The style is normal maybe adding a little more to it might help.

That's some pretty vague feedback there.

The Lego's could be alittle less round umm more colors would lighten it up. The walk on the Ley Gow could be little more standard to the lgo type, The tiles look very nice but don't they seem a little too small?

They do seem slightly small, but since i'm going to have a full dirt tile to go under it it shouldn't make much of a difference.
And as for the colors, no more colors- I already have enough.
In fact, I should only have 4 maximum, and some of them have 5 ( The fifth is the outline, though).
And as for the walk, when i'm not to lazy i'll fix it up a bit.

Dancing Banana Man? Lol.

If he's anything like the dancing banana emote...

Does he have a Peanut Butter Jelly Time too?
