Howey

My suggestion would be to make a "fighting pose" first, then the frames to throw a punch. I'm not an artist though so what do I know haha.
|
I'd suggest breaking the figure down into simple shapes, or making it a stick figure. An example of this would be what this guy did for his. http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/17445.htm

| |

 This could work? Sorry if it's bad quality did it on ipad. | |

try creating a fighting stance so you have to do less work... you'll only have to animate the torso that way. | |
How about acting out how you want punch to be animated?

Animation in any medium, be it pixel, flash or something else, typically is done via a process of animating by drawing the main poses first then smoothing it out with in-between frames.
Start with the main fighting stance, then draw the fullest punching pose in your animation. From there, it's fairly trivial to blend the two poses into a smooth animation. If you want to get better at pixel animation, go onto YouTube and just check out all kinds of frame-by-frame animation tutorials. They can teach you a lot of structure as far as how they get their animations to really pop. [EDIT] Removed my pics because I realized that they didn't actually show any methodology or process. | |

i think the base for naruto evolution is floating around somewhere. studying that one would be good for what you're doing here. when sphinxe1 made it, he based it off of a 3d model, so things like the punching state are pretty accurate(not saying it's perfect, but it's the best reference i can think of other than actually looking at figure poses) Uh uh. He just edited this: http://spritedatabase.net/files/ds/61/Sprite/Naruto.png for the base. Just Saiyan. | |
He's correct. The "Naruto Evolution" base was edited from that Naruto sprite sheet... It's obvious.
