Sprite needs C&C

[fertoff]

Hey
I made this sprite today in about 15 minutes as a sketch of the character of my future adventure.
If you can help me out with it so i get it better before I start animating...pleassee





Thanks

I think his legs are spread too much, unless there's a reason for that. Also, as Big Brother pointed out in a recent thread, too much shading/highight details soon turns into a pain when animating begins. But then, that's up to you. I'm pretty sure his hands are in his pockets (at first glance I thought they were a tad short...)

Apart from that he's very well drawn and displays personality. Good job!

hey, thanks for the tips

regarding his legs i made them like that because i wanted him to look as those people who think they own the world and that, completely self-centered. But i will try to make his stand a little more natural looking.

thanks

Well, It's quite clear that you know your stuff -- with so little pixel count you have done a good job.

About that leg -- i'd pull his left leg a pixel back to give him a bit more relaxed stance - and maybe right one too, like this:




I also moved his head a pixel forward.
This (at least) *should* give him more challenging and aggressive pose - if that was what you're going for.

I don't like the way his stomach is pulled in, it seems like he's not confident but more like afraid to get bullied any second... then again, I didn't manage to fix this any way.
