Well, the first one is small because its a lowly fireball, the weakest spell there is... Im looking foward to make mega fireballs, but I cant have the weaker spell be much bigger.. (its already more than 1/3 the player size
)
Still, I changed it a bit,made it nicer (better shape,whiter, feels hotter I think) and removed its animation. I also reduced the particles, something was off to me and I realised that it was the particles getting bigger, instead of smaller. (I dont think fire sparks expand as they "fade away")
Heres what I got now:
How does that look?
Btw, anyone know a place with spell sprites for inspiration? (mostly how to draw em properly) Id also really like to see casts (spell muzzle flash equivalent I guess?) and hitmarks (hit wall/monster disappearance animation)... I guess those are so specific its really hard to find...
thanks
