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

Certainly not! ;D
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!
Nice character! (It's better than most of mine.Ã, :P)
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, ;)

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

very nice ;)

I think im getting closer to something now :P Made him abit dirtier and shaded some more.
Waddaya think Taffy? Think we have a zombie-hunter? ;D
ZOMBIE-HUNTER? I thought you were going for an average guy :P!
Make him look sterner, e.g. curved eyebrows, tighter lips.
Everyone but taffy, forget about zombie-hunter :P. Yes he is supposed to be an average guy :P ;D
Nice grunge effects I think his head is a little square though.
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 ;-D
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 :)
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!
No, sorry :P He probably wont be for MacGyver(but who knows really? ;D) Doing two game projects at the same time now so, this one is for the other game :P

Changed his colors, added a belt, added a bracelet/watch and gave him a new hairdo :P
What do you think? C'mon people give me something to work with! ;D
Its all good now. You textured nicely and everything.
The hands tough still bugging me.
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...

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

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, ;D
Ok, telling someone what to do is easy, so I made a paintover.
Eh.. I think I got a little carried away:
(http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5027/sopo6lu.gif) (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5027/sopo6lu.gif)
- 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, ;))

Ait!
-Removed the 566000 useless colors ;D
-Improved his pitiful hands :)
-Enlargened his biceps :P
-Made his hair look cool := (IMO)
His hands are still too short.
You're free to either google for photo or look in the mirror: hands reach a bit more than halfway of a thigh, pretty close to the knees, not only pants pockets.
Still, that's a huge step forward, this last edit.
You should also consider making feet (shoes) look right... see my edit for tips.
Like your character Increator...
Victor your sprite is getting better with every post!
He looks like Sonny Bonds, well to me anyway.
ps: the hands are still bothering me...
Indeed the character is improving a lot!
Now, something that I think could be better:
The arms, they look like he sold his original arms and screwed big strong arms to his body.
They don't fit the rest of the character at this point. I don't really know how to improve this the best way, but it's just something I noticed
Hands issue: I think that there are a lot of people with short/small hands. Especially people who are a little short and a little wide backed. I like his hands. What I don't like now is his hair. He looks a little like Elvis...
With a relaxed standing pose, the finger tips are almost exactly at crotch level.
To make the body fit the muscular arms, you could widen his chest to shape it more like a triangle.

What about now? I think the arms are abit too long now, but what do you think?
The left arm "Characters Right" should not be same length as the other as he is standing at an angle, judging by the feet.
I think turn the body slightly to adjust to the feet, and narrow his shoulders just a little.
Shoulder width normaly equals 2x head width. or something like that loomis said... ;)
This is really good!Ã, :oÃ, Better than mine, no doubt about that.Ã, ;)
My crits- 1. His arms look almost connected to his t-shirt. The clothing should be loose on his body. Unless it is meant to be tight.
Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, 2.His hair looks like a wig.
Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, 3. His arms look weird, i.e the way they taper towards the hands.
I hope I helped.
BigmacÃ, ;)
Here's a paintover:
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/redraw_vic.png) 2x(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/redraw_vic.png)
-adjusted shape of head, shoulders, torso, arms
-reshaded clothing
-changed face & hair
Haha, it looks like Farlander now!!! :D
err... you usually have your arms that way? :P and he looks too happy and his eyes are too white :P! ;D(and his arms are too thin)
It's cool to see how the sprite has progressed. The only thing I can suggest now is to add another shade to his face. It stands out too much for me.
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/someone5(4).PNG)
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/someone5(4).PNG)
Did some small changes on him(including more shading in the face)
What do you think now?
Quote from: vict0r on Thu 24/11/2005 13:52:10err... you usually have your arms that way? :P
Indeed, yes, my arms tend to look like natural, human arms.

I didn't know that you couldn't handle a paintover/constructive criticism.
It won't happen again. (And I mean that.)

Dont take what im saying too serious ;D Please, continue critisizing :P And when you are at it, take it with a smile, instead of anger and sarcasm ;) That wont get you anywhere :)
Right, sorry, guess the :P s confused me :)
No more crits? C'mon people! :P I need to make it better ;D
his arms are maybe a bit too pointy. Give them shape. Show where the forearms meets the upperarms. Also make the upper arms longer
... unless its your style :)
I think Khrismuc's hairstyle looks better. (Although it is a modern hairstyle, and looking at your char's t-shirt... is it based in the eighties?)
It's that line on the shirt, very retro.
Other than that, I think it's looks neat!

I tried a couple of times doing this but it just looks weird, so i think i'll let the arms be. ::) I think ill start on some sideviews now :) Post them when they are ready ;D
