I think the problem with your north sprites are that they have chins on the back of their heads. Other than that, it's a pretty unique base.

Ok. We got the base done. So I was working on the movement for it. NORTH and SOUTH look good. But EAST and WEST... ew! It looks like a origami person. xD I really need help.

The upper body shouldn't be so stiff, or upright. Put a little lean to it.

Forgot to add, too many naruto games are implementing that kind of run now though. I liked it when it first came out, but now, it's getting annoying. Still do at it though.

I'm not even making a naruto game. I just like that type of run. I guess I should change it if its getting annoying for some people.

Really, and it's not for Naruto, weird. I can't see any other game using that kind of run, it's just unimaginable.

I never said you couldn't, my thoughts are simply opinions, nothing more or less. If you want to use them because you like them, then go ahead.

Is it a dbz game? I almost want to say thats the fusion fance youve got in the east and west states.

When you animate icons, the directions are suppose to be related. By that I mean, if you punch right with your right hand, it should animate you punching right with all directions(north/east/south/west).

You can already tell that both north and south are running animations, but west and east are also suppose to be running animations as well. It's just that it needed work.

In a way, it does resemble the fusion though.

Lol. Thats what me and my friend said about it. I'm editing it. Adding a lean, making it run not walk. xD And nope its not a DBZ game. I'm not exactly sure what I want to use it for. But definatly not a DBZ, Bleach, or Naruto game. Those games are pissing me off from how many there are.

[EDIT]
WHOO!!!!!!! I got it. I think it looks good!

Though it is definitely better, you need to work on the north and south animatios now. If it's suppose to resemble a leaning type of run, then all directions should have some lean in them. East/West look good, but north and south need work now. Least that's what I think.

Yes lower the head and torso of the front and back animations, on front make the legs smaller, on back make the torso/head smller(so it looks like he is leaning forward).

On top of size changes, some shading (or maybe just higher contrasting shades, I can't tell if you have shading or not) will help create the desired effect.
