Thanks for the reply Mike,
yes, I have watched more than a few of the tutorials. The reason I asked about the side view is because when I tried to connect the bones to the sprite images themselves it was very difficult to say the least. I could get the body, head and nearest leg and arm to connect but when I tried to the farthest limbs it wouldn't allow me to connect. It kept wanting to re-connect the parent (body) bone.
I tried placing the limbs at different angles (in a running motion) and still got the same result. No biggie, in trying to find a workaround, I actually made the sprite at a hint of an angle, and it looks much better than a plain side view.
Thanks again for the reply. Can't wait for the sprite packs.
