Critz on sprite..

Afflict · Mon 20/03/2006 20:47:39

Ok so i guess I have to learn to sprite properly and well help me out here

Saberteeth · Mon 20/03/2006 20:52:55

Fix the right arm, for pete's sake. It's pointing and that's not natural.

Tuomas · Mon 20/03/2006 21:12:29

Ok, I see you can colour well, no problem with that. but I'd say, the left hand looks a bit like it was in front of him. Try bringing his chest over the arm a bit. It's supposed to be at the back, naturally.
Then give him and elbow. A tiny bit corner-like in the middle of the right arm especially. Oh, adn lower his shoulders.

And btw. I would concider the choise of colours on him. Unless you're doing an 80's punk-head-shouldertop-whacky-shirt sprite.

Yeah i see it too know. LoL bad sprite, pactice makes perfect right

I dunno what you mean with pointing (his right my right)

new way heres a paintover. Had some more time.

Well here you go guys, I nice little paintover.

Tuomas · Mon 20/03/2006 22:02:40

I'll write this quick before my connection fails... I forgot to mention, that this sprite looks very good, don't think it sucks. Just lower the shoulders, ans it'll be almost perfect, take my word for it. OH, and about the rejob... perhaps not such thin wrists... I don't really know, I'd try a paintover, but as you know, too late and failing connection

That's a very good start. You colored him very well, but his arms ... in the second version it looks, as if he is very angry. And his forearms look a bit thin.

Arms fixed? C&C

lo_res_man · Mon 20/03/2006 22:25:40

I personally perfer, the first right hand, (JUST the hand) and the second right hand. soor afflict its still doesn't look quite right.

nihilyst · Mon 20/03/2006 22:36:38

Hm, I made a paintover.

I redid the arms completely and changed a few pixels to make him look more relaxed. But I don't know if you wanted him to look like this.

hey, man, looks great! i would make his feet a bit more level with the ground.

Afflict · Tue 21/03/2006 00:59:29

Well I did some more work...

here he is again..

Hey Mordalles dont mess with the bubblegum on my boots

Yeah yeah only the nudies will get it!

Well just to let you guys know its final I like him like this. But please C&C me.

I did a paintover to correct some contrast and posture issues.

1. Adjusted his pose to be more natural
2. Shortened his legs a bit and lengthened the neck.
3. Increased difference between shades so they stand out better
4. Altered face perspective and shape for more definition

You did a fine job overall with the general layout of the sprite, so I hope this helps to make it even better.

Babar · Tue 21/03/2006 08:09:32

the shape of the face looks a little strange, especially the colour you chose for his mouth. I can't decide whether he has a triple chin, or has his mouth gaping open.

And I guess ProgZmax just proved me wrong! :o

Wow I really like that thanks you ProgZmax time to increase my skills!!

Tuomas · Tue 21/03/2006 12:55:32

I suppose ProgZmaX's sprite does look at bit better, if you like his style that is. I notice the head turned very progzmax-stylish. To me it seems, what made his style differ from your's was the amount of detailed pars. Basically he uses stronger differences with colours than you did, and his lines look a bit more determined. The face though does look good, but not like the original character, but I don't know which you're after.

I wouldn't suggest trying to make your sprite look like his, but to modify it a bit with the suggestion you get from it, that is if you want. Myself, I would draw the same character in a very different way than either of you, keeping my style to it. I like you and ProgZie's style a lot, but... well you get my point.

Afflict · Tue 21/03/2006 13:03:02

Well i did this last night/ this morning $:-\$

Anyway I didnt want to post it at first but I really like.

nihilyst · Tue 21/03/2006 13:15:42

The arm behind his torso look like a banana: very unnatural. And the front view ... uhm ... he looks like a primate and not like the expression from the side views

The back view is good, though. The dithering is distracting. I like the former versions without it.
