Title: Critique on dragon sprite for a friend.
Post by: Chicky on Wed 28/06/2006 20:50:55
Hello again,

My friend Kelly wants some advice on this sprite, she needs help with the arms/legs. She hasn't finished the shading just yet.

Any advice?

I like it! I think the dragon needs some scales.

EDIT: Im blind sorry, I didn't notice that scales.

The basics of the dragon are there, which is great, and shading is on the way, excellent!

I'm guessing that the three circles are important and your friend wouldn't want to chane them but because of them the tail gets lost behind all those bends. So, what I would do would be to either bring the tail section infront of the main body but behind the head or maybe shift the head over to the side to allow the viewer to trace the tail more easily.

Second, the sprite looks rather frozen, some ripply whiskers or smoke out of the mouth could lend it some movement, if this is what you want.

Your friend is on the right track, but as we all know, the devil is in the details.
