how can i make this better?
i'd esp like help on making the fist and improving the shading
by the way, i'm not doing a fallout adventure, this is just practice
Oh my god are you making a Fallout game????
That would be interesting, but yeah, he looks pretty good :D
He shoulders should be even i think but it maybe the way I'm looking at it or imagining the way he's standing.
It's a good sprite, very traditional and still unique enough to stand out. The only thing that I'd change is the bandage on the left arm; but apart from that, I'd not even hesitate to download and play a game with such a charming low-res art.
As for the fist (left fist), you would see his thumb, so simply add a small shadow there, and you'll be okay.

So I guess, no. But I would be interested in that too.
Here's a quick attempt:

I kept the cartoony proportions, moved things a bit, tried to add volume shading and reduced the color count from 20 to 16.
Khris: I'm not a big fan of the scrunched up looking face, but the shading on the body looks absolutely great.
If that could be animated smoothly, it would be one hell of a game sprite.
Thanks, there's a few other things I'm not particularly fond of (thin left arm, awkwardly angled fist, stance).
It was done pretty quick, with emphasis on the shading; I'll wait for BoG and then maybe revamp it a bit.

thanks for the replies everyone, i've changed it based on some of your ideas KhrisMUC. i'm still not happy with some parts but i'm really sick of it now so i think i'm gonna start on another one
I'd say the highlights of his face and hands look a little too bright... they kind of stand out with the darker colours elsewhere.
But otherwise this guy looks great.
you're right about that, it looks a little weird. i'm gonna change it, thanks
