Okay everyone! I'm back from vacation! Hope you all had a great holiday. Today I have a HUUUGGGEEE amount of free time that I can use to work on the fan game. Currently I'm sitting here with a pencil and paper trying to learn how to sprite. I can draw, but this is my first time spriting. Ever. I don't have a graphics tablet (though I'm probably going to get a Wacom Intuos Pen tablet as a post-Christmas gift), and can't draw anything with a mouse, which is why I'm most likely going to draw the sprites on a piece of paper really small and then scan them into my computer. I have a couple spriting tutorials open on my iPad as well.

Now, my goal today is to draw a rough animation of Ruby walking without her scythe to use at least temporarily in the game. If anyone who's an experienced spriter/artist can give me some spriting tips, that would be really nice. Keep on leaving me ideas, and I'll be checking this thread continuously today for inspiration and advice. Thanks, and have a merry post-post-Christmas!
