First Sprite C&C

[ThreeOhFour]

Looks nice, but something about the arms/legs/torso ratio seems slightly off to me. Keep in mind that generally your hands will rest at about mid-thigh level. Then again the arms look slightly bent so if you unbend them you should be right

I didn't have much time last night, so i'll continue working on it later today.

Let's look at your pixel art version of your main character.


Now let's reference back to the original character which I loved.



He's a little quirky and he's got flaws, but that's not a problem! Flaws add character unless they're sloppy flaws, this is all part of the style. When turning him into pixel art you want to maintain as much of this character as possible.

The first things I notice are that the colors feel dull. The second thing I notice is that his eyes aren't those dinner bowls they used to be, now they are just tiny specks. (There goes some more of his charming character.)

Then something bothers my eyes, there's not enough contrast in many of his features. When working on such a small level you need contrast to help differetiate between the many minute features of the sprite.

The last thing I noted was that his over-all silhoutte is vastly different: mHis hair is different, his arms are different, his pocket is different. And, it all seems a little messy.

So, trying to keep the style of the original character as much as possible; I replaced his eyes with larger circles, I used the original colors you had. I added higher contrasting colors (if you zoom in close enough you can see that the outline of his shirt is purple, his pants are a dark green instead of a muddy yellow and the outline of his skin is a dark brown.)I tried to maintin his silhoutte as much as possible (sometimes with pixel art, things just look different, so changes usually have to be made when scaling.)
