Alright, some of them could be useful. However, the one where he take the cake and the other with the telescope...I don't really see what use we could make of them. John's spritesheet will be enormous, at the rate it's going. I already have enough to make a sheet three times bigger than Jake's. Phooey.

Well, all right, sorry for not being able to do anything more productive at the moment. I'll try to help out with extracting certain sprites if necessary. I'll help out with the search as well.

Don't be sorry! You're gonna make me feel sad. Every little things we do is important; helping with the search too.

By the way, I compiled a list of what I have for John, for the moment, and placed it in the OP, with a few informations on the 'neutral head' (the head on every sheets).

[Wessolf27]

Sure, that's great Storm!

Oh yeah, I just noticed that John's PDA sprite isn't on the list, so I'll just place one of the GIFs that do.

John types with his PDA

Oh yeah, and one for Dave, since this one's easily missed

Basic elevator GIF!

If anything needs fixin' just let me know; we should also figure out the spot where Jake should be standing at the beginning and end of each animation.

So if we can it'd be cool to get someone who knows flash to make this into one big continuous thing that randomly selects an event after some amount of time passes

In addition, a few ideas-
Vriska's manipul8ion symbol appears on Jake's head, and he suddely falls asleep, waking up a second later
A Tinkerbull flies down behind him and bumps into him, causing him to jump in surprise and shoot it
The elevator slows to a stop, the lights dim, and you see Gamzee or Cal flash-stepping around as Jake looks around nervously, then everything starts back up- possibly replacing the music with Blackest Heart (with honks) for the segment? I don't know how feasible that'd be though

[Stormspirit]

Holy mother of god. This is really nice, xqz. And I like your ideas, too. It's like...well, interaction but not too intrusive, I guess. The Tinkerbull shouldn't be too hard, and Vriska making him fall asleep is great, too. Mostly because it gives an use to the 'Jake on the ground' pose. He could sit on the ground, and then suddenly fall asleep. Yeah, that's cool! And for the last idea, well, I'm not too sure, but I guess it could be done?

Also, thanks for pointing me to those pages, Wessolf. I'm not sure what I can take from >Try again, but I'll see if I can do something with it. Back to work, I guess. I still have to finish John's sheet (at least for the Green Ghost shirt) and maybe make a short tutorial for people who want to help with separating the sprites.

There must be a reference to this fight scene.

With Roxy as Otacon of the lolz. Maybe cloaked Dirkbots? Or a Fat Vriska.

Some other suggestions.

Jake:

>Arrives at an elevator door that opens into darkness. After a few seconds, a black claw reaches out and offers Jake a bag of peanuts. Have the option to take or refuse? If he takes, it turns out to be just a can of snakes, and mention something about it being an obvious trick, yet it would of been terrible if it was peanuts, as you have a serious peanut allergy.
>Attempt to re-arrange sylladex. Fail.

Roxy:

>Tiny Roxy on Tiny Maplehoof doing a [S] Ride callback along the bottom of the elevator, with Jake watching.
>Mutant Cats appearing from nowhere. They swarm Jake, or just sort of roll about and do cat stuff. They are then '-ified' away by an unknown source.

[Stormspirit]

So you've found it. Cool. I think Idea 1 of Jake and Idea 2 of Roxy would be nice, but beside that, as I said earlier, other characters interacting between each others would be hard and would cut out that awkward feeling of an elevator.

[xqz]

Okay so
I have to finish some sprite modification stuff for one of the other projects today but tomorrow I'll be making:
Jake sleeping (using John/Jade's sleeping curled up on the ground sprites)
Jake engaging in imaginary fisticuffs (using Equius's sprites from Make Her Pay)
probably grabbing Tinkerbull sprites

If there's anything else you need tell me and I'll add it to the list!

[Stormspirit]

Hell fucking yeah. I think we're pretty good for now on Jake's and John's side, and I'll start on Jade soon. I don't think I really have any modifications in mind, mostly because I'm focusing on taking apart the various poses we already have. And I think I might have to add 'Imaginary Fisticuffs' to the Animation Ideas. Because that is simply hilarious.

Understandable. Though I would still find the scene very funny. Maybe just a codex call?

Maybe, I'll see if it's possible. I just don't want something taking up the entire screen, because that would make a lot of work for whoever will be making the flash (if it happens).

[Wessolf27]

Hrm... would it be a good idea if the very beginning part of the flash when the song's just a few guitar chords, we see Jake casually stroll towards the large Skaia platform elevator? Then the main part of the song starts when the elevator starts descending? Not sure if this is a good idea since there might be a problem with syncing the music to the elevator's descent but I guess it's still something I want to ask about.

Also, random and extremely unlikely idea that won't ever be able to happen whatsoever: All four kids enter the elevator and start playing their respective instruments. This is probably a single event that won't happen with the other animations and would probably be extremely rare if it does somehow become a part of the flash? I dunno, as much as this is cool, I don't think this would ever happen.

Well, I think that's a good idea, might be easier to consider if I even knew little tidbits about Flash. I'm pretty sure syncing the music wouldn't be that hard, though.

Oh, and currently working on Jade's sheet, and a few additions to John's.

Cool, any particular GIFs you'd need to find? I'll go grab them for you (maybe I should be asking this on a PM, but oh well)

Nah, you can ask in this thread, especially since it's related to the project. And, well, unfortunately, pretty much every poses past her normal outfit aren't present in the database. Urgh.

[Wessolf27]

I should probably get the flashes first since they're the ones where Jade's instruments and narcolepsy are going to be in one spot (oh yeah and that [S] Strife???!? thing has her aiming her guns around in a silly manner)

Jade: Play a hauntingly relaxing bassline
Jade: Play a silly flute refrain
Jade: Strife!!!!

Also, other stuff
Jade: Captchalogue Squiddles Doll!
Jade: Leap dramatically across the divide!
Jade: Scamper with wild abandon
Jenga Modus
Jade: Try out Pictionary Modus
Jade preparing to draw on her pictionary modus
Jade: Prepare for Imminent windfall (might wanna do something about the tree? GIF it maybe?)


A few of Jade's expressions from the Memory game
Warmer... warmer... cold! COLD!
FROZEN FUCKING TUNDRA
YUKON HERO: LEGACY OF THE FROSTBITE AMPUTEE.
Ok, ok, one more time.

[Stormspirit]

Wow, okay, at least that makes a few more expressions for her. I can't really extract anything from the flashes yet, but I'll have something to keep myself occupied. I think her sheet will be different in that most of her poses cannot use the neutral head. Her hair extend to her body, so most of the animations have them changing constantly.

Well, if it's any consolation, it'd be easier to separate the head, the hair and the body into separate layers to make things a lot easier. This way, you don't need to worry about the hair crossing over the arms. Same with John's fake arms.

Hm...yeah. I guess I could do that. Could be easier when we're making new animations. But I don't really understand about John's fake arms. Are you saying that I should place them on a different layer? Because I don't really see the necessity, since the head fit perfectly. I need to remake their sheets, anyway, because it's a real mess.

Oh, well, it's just that there was this part of the fake arms that got cut because of John's glasses, I thought that it needed to be fixed as well.

Oh, I see. I guess that wouldn't be a lot of work to redo that. Especially since all I have to do is separate the head and the hair, which is easy when the head is already separate from the body. I think the only one I can't do is Jake's pistols, because I don't have a clear picture of the pistols like with the arms. Should I do it with Jake's LE head computer, too?

[Wessolf27]

Oh hey, I also found this... derp...

[Stormspirit]

Yeah, I already have it. It's still really small and doesn't have any of Jade's other outfits.

Ah, all right, sorry for the pester then.

[Stormspirit]

Updated the sheet for Jake, with a few more poses, the head and hair separated, and a brand new category for accessories, with the full animation of the Lord English Head Computer, and a much less messy layout.
