Hey, I'm having trouble getting the basic outline for the robot. Do you think you could upload a reference photo so that I could see what it is you want? Just any old picture will do. Even something from a google search. I just need to get an idea of what I'm making here :)

Ok so you want an old school robot. That's great! It will be really easy to animate :D

I thought that you wanted an anime robot at first and I was soooooo worried that I'd have to draw one of those XD I suck at anime haha :lol:

And what do you want for the legs? Do you want actual legs or should I do like wheels or something? Just wondering :P

Ok, here he is with legs :D

Before I animate him, I need to know if the colors and proportions are ok. Anything I need to change? :P

Oh, I forgot to do the front view of the monkey. I'll work on that before animating the robot. Do you mind me asking why you need a front view for all characters? :D

for when theyre standing and your not pressing any buttons, i dont really want to add the player direction code for their standing each direction, so i just make them stand straight looking forward.

Ok that makes sense, but it's actually not that hard to implement the code for direction standing. I could teach you. Plus, if you used direction standing code, it would make it easier for me to animate everything which means that I could finish it faster. If you still want the standing forward, just tell me :)

Ok, here is the monkey front. I really didn't like the outcome that much but I honestly couldn't figure out how to improve it any, sorry. But I hope you like it :P
