C&C on character

[vict0r]

What do you think of this guy? I think he looks kinda unfinished, but dont know what to do else

[Chicky]

There's something about your characters that i really love.

To be honest the only thing i can see that needs improving is the hands, everything else is ace.

I kinda suck at making hands, but does this look decent enough?

There's something about your characters that i really love.

Thanks Think you are the only one tho

[Ubel]

Think you are the only one tho

Certainly not!

It's a very nice sprite, I like him. I would make a paintover for the shading, since it seems to be a bit wrong, but I don't really have time now.

His arms seem to be a little too short, and his legs are too apart from each other. Also his head looks quite big, though that might be your style Oh, and he doesn't seem to have ears.

Apart from these little things, it's a very good sprite!

[Mugs]

Nice character! (It's better than most of mine.Ã,  )

There's only one thing that bugs me.Ã,  The head seems a little off center (it makes one of the shoulders look longer than the other.) and that's it.

By the way, it doesn't matter if he looks unfinished, it depends on your game's backgrounds and interface.

Anyways, I like the character, good luck on whatever you are doing!Ã, 

[vict0r]

Tried to make the shading look abit better, made his head smaller, put the feet more together and made his arms longer I just cant seem to find any place for his ears What do you think now?

[Ubel]

Okay, now I had more time. Good improvements you had done.



And I did some more.

• Redid all the shading
  
• Changed all color tones
  
• Modified the hair
  
• Lenghtened the arms even more
  
• Modified the shoes
  
• Some other small changes
  
  Well, that's about it. I hope you'll find it useful.

[vict0r]

Did some stuff on him Think i got the shading better this time. At least on his pants And think i got the shoes a bit better too. What do you think?

[MarVelo]

very nice

I think im getting closer to something now Made him abit dirtier and shaded some more.

Waddaya think Taffy? Think we have a zombie-hunter?

[Elliott Hird]

ZOMBIE-HUNTER? I thought you were going for an average guy !

Make him look sterner, e.g. curved eyebrows, tighter lips.

[vict0r]

Everyone but taffy, forget about zombie-hunter . Yes he is supposed to be an average guy

[MarVelo]

Nice grunge effects I think his head is a little square though.

[seaduck]

Hey, this guy looks good! But you could still add some touches to make him even better. He looks too dull.

details - the body area is large, and you've put in so few details. Pockets, waistbelt and slit on the trousers

clothing - this guy sure has no taste for fashion - he desses almost a bad as I do
Give him something more interesting to wear - do not hesitate to have a look in a catalogue or something

attributes - if you add an attribute, people can recognise instantly what the guy is like. (e.g. tatoo, baseball cap, clipboard, ...)

colors - sorry, but I really dislike the color of his clothes, it really makes him look unhealthy - this is pretty much the blue-green combination which is really dreadful and you should avoid it like plague (that is unless you really really know what you're doing). Ever seen someone wearing this color combination? Yes? Really? Oh well... perhaps he had faulty color perception

[Afflict]

Is he for MacGyver?

Cool dude you'll get the hang of it, your last is way better than the first.

Keep up the good work cant wait for McGyver!

[vict0r]

No, sorry He probably wont be for MacGyver(but who knows really? ) Doing two game projects at the same time now so, this one is for the other game




Changed his colors, added a belt, added a bracelet/watch and gave him a new hairdo
What do you think? C'mon people give me something to work with!

[Afflict]

Its all good now. You textured nicely and everything.

The hands tough still bugging me.

[InCreator]

Nice sprite, but...
Where are you driving? Why add colors?

Bombarding sprite with additional colors won't solve any problems, since you're still not really using them.

What I mean with USING I can explain with my edit...



2X:



Look here.  I corrected lotsa lines and used only 3-4 colors per sprite part.

[lo_res_man]

The hands tough still bugging me.

I agree, they are way too small. a persons hand if spread out will be the same size as the face,( try it, splay your hand like a leaping face hugger, and put it onto your face, see? same size! if anyone asks, do a silly "oh my god its grabbing my FACE!! :o " routine) i find this a good rule thumb Ã, 

[seaduck]

Ok, telling someone what to do is easy, so I made a paintover.

Eh.. I think I got a little carried away:



- changed colour of shirt and shoes
- made his shirt more fashionable
- added some details on trousers
- gave his shoulders a more natural slope
- moved his head 1 pixel to the right
- made his chin less blocky
- added ears
- added some extra hair
- added a wristwach
- changed his hands a bit (they are not better though, because I absolutely can't draw, you knowÃ,  )
