Title: My Hero Sprite: C&C
Post by: deadsuperhero on Fri 24/12/2004 20:35:45
Hey, I made this guy in Photoshop, and I'm pretty happy with the result, but I have the feeling it could be better?
How can I improve it?

it's very small, but in the front view angle he looks like a body builder, or a very strong person(looking at how he stands).

Well, AGS sprites tend to be small, but I'll try to make a larger version.
As for the bodybuilder thing, um...thanks?
But how can I improve the sprite, anyway?

Ok, thank you for enlarging it, but how on earth can I improve it?

Okay, to say it another way: In the front view, his ass is pointing out.

very quick edit:

Say… doesn't that look a bit like the Roger Wilco sprite from space quest 4? Got any help from there?  ;)

Nice work anyway 8) … got a walking cycle for him yet?

Well, what i find wrong about him is this:

3x(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/SeanChar.PNG)

*  *Strogly recomennded* On almost all the sides, his ass is pointing out
*  *recomennd* On the left view you can see the shirt, which is something you wouldn't be able,     judging the point on the front view and on the right-down view you can see the white shirt clearly and a little on the west, but if you take a look on the front side you can see that the west is preety big, so please fix this
*  Also it would be nice to fix the shading on the west
*  *Strogly recomennded* on the left view, there is something bothering me, and that is the "shoes" the right leg is not touching the ground
*  Also please fix the shding on his hair

well, i think this is it :D


those that have *recomennd* is something i would recommend you to change, and all things that have *Strogly recomennded* is something you really should fix

His shoulders also look a bit uneven (at least in the back view). His pants seem very low in the front and left view, but they are higher in the others

More clean lines and less antialiala-damnthisword-ialasing is all what I can suggest.

At least, separate critical parts from each other: this vest blends into his shirt!

Ah, an on diagonal view, he has no neck!
