Some sprites for Critisism

[lo_res_man]

These are the dudes and dudets of a game I am working on, and I WANT to finish this one. what do you people think? Btw they are supposed to be this big, and the zombies wearing a mop on her head as wig, and the blue woman is chained to a wall. ANy Ideas for doing chains that look good AND cartoony in lo_res? Is the hands on the evil mad scientest good? any hints on improvement? btw C.O.R.P.S.E. stands for Cooperative OF Really Pleasent Sinister Evil

Those are some sweet ass sprites. I love them. Unfortantely I don't have any suggestions except to compliment you on them.

It is a bit hard to decide if the line under the guard's (first character) nose is his mouth or his chin. Apart from that these are gorgeous sprites- the mad doc's hands are just right for that "Dr.Fred-look-alike-handwringing" pose (and thus, they are very good).

This is nitpicking, but the zombie's sign would, if he held it upright, be illegible!

As for cartoon chains, I would draw a shape like this (several times in different angles):
  IA
XIAXX
X IA 0
X     0
X     0
0000

x being dark and 0 being light. A dark outline could be added. I/A is a chain link and could be slightly darker

I like them dude. They are very cool. I'm glad you want to finish this game - we want you to finish it as well!  .

Look forward to seeing some more stuff.

I did a really basic edit on this to give you a few ideas.

1.  Redrew the hands on most of them.

2.  Added some very simple shadows.

3.  Cleaned up the faces a bit for visibility.

4.  Added chains.


x2:


you have a very nice style going here so I changed as little as possible.  Most of the fixes are just to improve the readability of the features.

Looks great. But shouldn't the text on the "GO CORPSE" sign be upside down and askew?

[lo_res_man]

Its a bit of a joke, you see the zombies are so lazy, that when the signs got painted, the sign was in that position, and it still is,
also, the doc in your edit though is a bit TOO creepy. he is the main character, his is cantankerus, and really wants to be evil, and though he works with zombies , is supposed to be somewhat likeable
as well, the princess is sticking out her lower lips in a major pout, any ideas on that, and well thats all, and thanks for the workovers, progzmax but I don't like shadows.
as well that line on the "guard" is the mouth, the grey line underneath is the chin. maybe if I did a talking animation it would be more clear.

I really like the look of these sprites, very Maniac Mansion-esque. Quite appealing. Why don't you like shadows, if I may ask? I think the guy on the far right with the sign looks a little better with ProgZmax's treatment.

Overall, these are fantastic. Which game is this for?

That joke would work well if she eventually raised the sign, then got confused.
