As some of you may have understood i'm making a MacGyver game (yay) but got abit off-track some weeks/months ago. But now im back on track :P Sooo.... What do you think of this sideview compared to the frontview? (you already critisized the front view so drop it!)

the "extra" face is just where i got the colours from... please dont mind it

(quick paintovers are always welcome)
It looks too much like his mouth is on that side of his face. Plus it looks like he's very tense--despite the calm look in his face.
I don't think that the mouth is to much of a problem. What I find strange is the shading in the front wiew. You can't tell where the light is coming from. His pants and jacket are coloured on the left and right. It kind of dosn't seem natural. Otherwise I think that your sprite is quite good. A little polishing here and there and I think you have an exelent sprite.
I once started to work on a MacGyver game as well, but never got further than one view. Perhaps it helps you. I think it kinda looks like Mac.

Yes... Decreased his head-size some and bended his back some. Did some more too, that i dont really remember, but sure you see it.
Yeah! Added some shades too!
Damned bmps.... ::)
Well, since noone said anything, i guess i can be satisfied :-\ :P Is it okay now or what?
Well, it just depends on how much you want it to resemble Richard Dean Anderson. To me, this has nothing to do with him, besides a brown jacket.
Eigens version is pretty close, but I would still suggest you work on making it somewhat close to Richard. I mean, Indy sprites from the old games were pretty good at capturing Harrison, but didn't have to be huge sprites. But then again, it has to do with what style your bgs are going to be in as well.
Just wasting time. Hope that helps. (http://img306.imageshack.us/img306/4114/image18hy.gif)
Gah! I just realised how much my drawing suck!
Thanks anyhoo :P You made that now? Thats good!

I'm quite happy with it now actually :P What do you think? Totally different :P
He looks a bit more harsh that he is in reality, but I think that it's great! Now he reminds me very much of Richard. I think that his torso is a little too big, but we have to wait for krysis to solve this probably.
The only thing left to do is to change your avatar. ;)
aye:P Agree he looks... really really angry:P trying to fix it now:P
EDIT:

you havent fixed all the black outlines to be darker outlines, such as a darker brown for the pants, instead of black, like what you did with the darker pink for the face outline.

I'm pretty satisfied now, but what do you think?
I really don't think the head fits in with the style of the body. The body has a lot more contrast. Maybe darken the outline of his hair a bit... Then it might fit better.
Sprite drawing isn't my strength, really, but I had a go at this one:

The clothes could need a lot of shading, as they appear pretty flat right now.
Its really nice, but what are those really dark lines om his pants? I love it! :P
You just drew yourself didn't you Andail?
If you take off another 15-20 pounds yeah. I have an impression of Andail being really really slim... ;D
Hmm... Now that you mention it, he looks alot like andails avatar :P

Gah... this just wont be finished :P Now, what do you think?
pretty good i think there are 2 many colors in the face though.
I dont wanna be too much of a critic, but vict0r if you need someone to make the sprites forÃ, this aint the place. I made that stupid face (i dont even know who McGyver is) just to give you idea - not a template. Seems you took that great sprite Andail did and changed about 4 pixels? Anyone can do that. Make a version you like not just take other ppls. Make more, take less and you'll learn. Sorry if you dont like it but its my opinion and I wanted to share it with you.
Ohh and the shoes are a bit too round.Ã, ;D

Macgyver on the left.
Gah... I guess you are right. I guess i should'nt just copy stuff. Well then... Back to pain! I will never give up! ;D

(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/myownmac4.PNG)
What do you think of these two(the only difference is the eyes)? I know the body is almost the same, but all Andail did with the body was some touch-up of my original ;D
Those are some pretty severe touch-ups...
...but the new face is nice. The contrast on the neck and lack of contrast in the face looks odd, though.
MUCH BETTER! i agree the neck is odd...
Hehe, weird, it looked a bit like me, yeah. I didn't draw myself though, it was purely incidental.
Well, glad you liked the sprite.

(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/myownmac6.PNG)
I think i fixed the neck problem now. Witch one is the best version? Not much of a difference, but... :P
I like the bottom one use a few shades darker for the eye though.
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/almostfinishedmac.PNG)
Is that okay?
Andail: I know its stealing ( :P) but can i possibly use the body sprite, you were so kind to make. The main reasons i got for using it is that im not very good at drawing bodies, and i suffer from severe laziness. ;D
Personaly alotugh they are good sprites I dont think any of them do justice to the legend we call Macgyver!
Use it dont use it... Not even Andails but good character sprite!
Might want to try modeling the face more after the man.

Try to get the arch-edy part in the middle of the hair
I think the face of your latest sprite is just too round. RDA has a rather ... well, not a thin face at all but well defined cheek bones so I suggest making the sides of his head straighter. Try to get that light/dark contrast in the hair too. Your sprites hair looks curly, too, which isn't the right look.

Its a MAC attack!!
Honestly it took me about 30 mins :o
And a little bigger would be nice :) my bad...

I've also gave it a shot (took me like 30 min). the result was... well... crappy. ;D
It's a though task to come up with something that resembles Richard Dean Andersen, with a hand full of pixels... but since I did it why not share? :P

Dude complements on the awesome RDA!

What do you guys think about my new one...

Still using Andail body but look at the difference...
BTW thanks for bbcode never knew about it!
definitly getting there man,
MacGuyver would make a frikkin awesome game, I can't wait.
just a quick thought,
macguyver wears one of those flight jackets, it seems to me it should be a little more loose around his torso, and a little more snug around his waist.
haHA, MacGuyver is so cool.
Afflict: Very good but too short. He is taller/slimer. But other than that perfect.
Who is making the game/graphics. you or Victor?
My take on it...

This would be a good theme for a Sprite Jam competition.
Every body likes to draw Mr. Mac. ;)

I think his coat moves to much when he steps with his right (our left) leg. But Victor or someone can fix that!

Thank you been working on my graphic skill, getting there slowly.
Victor is doing the graphics have been wondering if I shouldnt
do the MacGyver game I wanted to do a little while ago...
Abandoned the prohect due to the fact that Fan games arent
really my thing. Ill rather create my own story, 'll look into it if
my other projects grant me the time.
As for the idea of Sprite Jam, looks like everybody is having a field
day with Mac ;)
Ps: taffytom the walkcycle needs more frames...
once again thanks you...
Ok started turning his a head what do you think?
