Whoops accidentally double posted.

Tiy had wanted to do more animations, more detailed animations and animation sprites for portions of the hog body for a long time (things he incorporated into his new game).
The main issue is the hats.
Either these animations would have to make the hat disappear, or else hats would have to be updated to correspond to any new game animation,
which would mean updating all the hats.
A new hat format could of course be specified that extends the frame list for the animations, degrading gracefully to the old format, but it would still look odd on the old hats.

Those times the hat disappears now, already look kind of odd, despite having removed places it used to happen, like when jumping or using a rope.

I like your animations though!

really nice job Star! specially the first and third!

They'll just have to be no-hat for now :\.

One thing I'm planning to make is several animations that the hedgehogs preform when they're idle, like playing with a yo-yo, or eating a snack, or pretending to shoot another hedgehog...

By the way nemo, I guess I'm the main artist for Hedgewars now! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

if there was a like button for the post, i would like your post Star !
you have really good idea !
is it possible to install your sprites ? and how ?
or do we have to wait for a release ?

good job

We'll have to wait until I finish them and nemo codes them into the game.
By the way, I have been using this to make the sprites.

Wait, don't we already have this? (just not to this extent)

Another issue with facial expression is orientation. The hog's eyes/head for example do not track the gun barrel. This again runs into the mask problem, since many masks do not have "eye holes".
If eyes were drawn on top, it would also look bad on many hats.
There's that balance between simple sprites people can easily add, and more complex ones with greater expression.

Good idea, keep working on it.

Updates:
If the hedgehog happens hurt himself, another hedgehog nearby will laugh at him:

And I created another waving animation, to be used when an idle hog waves at the hog that is taking his turn, if they are of the same color:

I also added on to the screaming animation so the hedgehog rolls into a ball right after.

Interesting, so how many animations are we likely to see?

It's high time I've updated this thread :P.
Anyway, here's the sprite sheet of all the sprites I've made. NOTE: None of the animations have been tested out, so they may look weird. If this happens, please contact me.
