Here are some sprites I'll most likely use in my game:

The girl sprite is older, I think I'll have to re-do her in my new style, she doesn't seem to fit in all that well.

I was told that my drawing style looks like this anime show called 'Dragon Ball Z'. This was a bit of a shock for me, so... do my drawings and sprites really look like that?
There are some similarities sure .. but truthfully, I like your style better!
These pics look great!
I like the big dragon and love the 'portrait' graphics. Total style points.
This game is going to be soooo cool!

only really insofar as they look stylistically Japanese, but I feel that it's more influenced by games than anime.
I love the sprites! Always been a fan of this stuff... which game is it for?
Cool!
Does/will that dragon animate?
This is really excellent stuff. I've been watching your posts for some time, I'm really looking forward to see the game that these sprites will go into...
It really looks like manga, and manga made by a great artist, but it doesn't look like Akira Toriyama for me... I remember that Akira designed some characters for a series called The adventures of Fly (?). It looks like that.
But this is a great style, with great personality, there's no need to look for a Toriyama copy...
Great!!!
Thanks! :D
I just didn't want my drawings to look like someone else's style, it's important to me to have my own. I wanted some sort of manga-ish look, but not as big-eyed and uber-cute as some artists do em, it just wouldn't fit the theme of my game.
The sprites are supposed to not look as manga-ish, as a lot of people don't like manga/anime where I come from, and, judging from the comments, I got em right, yay! :)
jannar85 - I haven't announced the game yet, don't even have a name for it at the moment, so I can't answer the question for now.
James Kay - The dragon will animate, but only talking and a few gestures.
Well, here's what I got done so far:
*game engine finished, which is set up for 2 playable characters. There's a split-up mode, follow mode and single mode, and exchanging items. At some places it's possible to split up through a dialogue, and sometimes it happens automatically if the story demands it.
*4 Animated characters with 4 direction walking and talking, 8 frame walking cycle
*Different 'talk' animations for the kid, some additional animations like 'take' and 'getting up from bed'.
*Story outline, with the story of the first of five chapters completed.
love it,
totally unique style, do you use a tablet?

Yes, but only for backgrounds and line art. Sprites are easier to do with a mouse. :D
Wowzers! Very dastardly kwuel!
Your style has a lot of features of Shonen ( boys) manga which Toriyama draws in so that's why people might have said that. You definatly have your own unique style though!
NICE!
Sorry I said that about Dragonball in the other Forum ;)
Haha, nevermind... you weren't the only one who said that. :D
Nobody on the other board said anything when I tried to inquire a bit further, so I decided to ask here, since there's many talented artists around.
I'm just glad to have my own style, after all! :)
