Nice sprite, Daz! Only problem I see is the double pixelling as I have suggested on msn. Fix that and it'd be great. Love the style alot.

[Chicky]

ouch double pixels, yeh i say fix these and it will be near perfect. The black outlines seem to fit your style nicely.

Double pixels-

Woah, I like that alot...portrays a nice attitude...

I agree with the double pixeling though...

[pixelcat]

Looks cool, has a lot of character.  Double pixels were already mentioned many times.

[Daz]

yeh ill get that changed but i don't have the time right now got revision to do , thanks for the comments

-Daz

[Daz]

ok here you are plus a new character



i got rid of double pixels



and this is his evil enemy/ wrong doer he need some help with detail,

-Daz

[Chicky]

wha? no reply's BAH!

i like the evil dude, he's got a very evil feeling to him, i take it you got inspiration from the good bad and the ugly. I havnt atachually seen that film yet, but umm yeh. I recognise the bad guy.

Crit!- I think the arms need fixing, his right am look too long and the left arm doesnt seem to bend quite naturally.

apart from that its great!

[Mr_Frisby]

I like the colours on the evil sprite, very authentic. There are still a few double pixles I noticed by zooming in.

Also if you come to the conclusion that the black out lines are abit harsh, you can use other dark colours instead of black. Greys and browns can be nice too. Personally, I like to use the same colour I have used in the picture as the outline - only darker - eg. Cream face, dark cream outline - brown hat, dark brown outline. It can look really good - but its only a suggestion because I really like what you have done with these sprites.

[Daz]

hey mr frisby thanks i tried out what you said and it worked out quite nicely




thanks, what do you think?

cheers

-Daz

[Chicky]

i think the outline colour on the face and hat of the good guy needs darkening still, but otherwise nice work

[pixelcat]

I agree with OSC about darkening the outlines... it turned out really well, though.  The bad guy turned out really well, too... his elbow on the left seems a little low, but I really like it overall.

[auhsor]

Looking better. The bad guys left arm seems a bit protruded at the shoulder tho, like his armpit needs to be lowered or something, and the shoulder needs to be pushed in a bit.
n both the characters, I think that their legs are a little short. Unless this is the style that you want to go for. They still look great tho.

[Daz]

here you are with more improvements (i hope)




i moved the arms around like auhsor said on the evil guy and i darken the lines as OSC and pixel cat said. o yeh and i shortend the evil guy neck and made him a little less broad

cheers

-Daz

[pixelcat]

Hm... no comments, they're pretty much perfect now.Ã,  Only thing I don't like is the 1-pixel space between the right arm (on the left) and the body...

*made an edit :

*Removed edit

-changed left eye/hair
-changed pixel

Nice work, hope to see some new stuff soon.

[Daz]

thanks pixelcat i acctually have some more stuff on the way ill get it up soon

[Daz]

here is another sprite for you to crit


he is an indian that is going to be in my game, crit?

-Daz

[ravenfusion]

Nice sprite Daz, I like it. Very interesting character hear, not too stiff. It doesn't seem quite the same as the others? Not sure, but it's awesome. Keep up the good work.

[Damien]

Yep, looks cool.

The little thing that bugs me is that the upper part of his right arm looks a too thin.

Keep it up.

[pixelcat]

Looks good... looks a little skinny (maybe remove the space), and I agree with Damien about the right arm, though it looks like his headdress is covering it at a second glance.  Nice details, I think it will fit in with your other characters nicely.
