NOTICEYou may ignore the drivel and go right to the notice if you'd like.
START Drivel:Never, ever, ever show your little sibling your sprite art. Why?:
"I don't know why I bother, all your stuff looks the same." "What is he, some robot ninja thing?" "Well, he still has stick legs, the arm is too long, and he doesn't have any 3dish shading."
What ticks me off most, is the 3 other people on the net who saw it said it looked good. They let me think that it was okay, now I think it still sucks. I just wanted to take the erase tool and go through all the work on my file. And remove a good blob of it. Then start from scratch or do something else for a while. Anyway, this is not the reason why I posted.
END DrivelNotice: So, aside from the above, I think that the sprite is mostly finished. But I'm going to do some variations of friendly NPC troopers and some enemy troopers to practice on. Just so I don't screw up the main sprite any more. Hopefully I'll have the some done by this weekend. (Yes, I know this is not a blog. Just wanted to give you guys a head's up of what's coming up.)
NEWEST
I think I'm closer to calling it finished. Something still bothers me though. More below.
Most thing changed is the palette, and some other. More below.
Did some slight modifying to the right leg and ankle. Changed a bit of the armor pads. More below
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rob/NeoHunterko/sketchedspritemodded.pngChanged a few things here and there. Based somewhat off of Anarcho's edit. The one with the orange circle is the newest one. More below.
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rob/NeoHunterko/mainsketchybaseedit.pngChanged size restrictions. That allowed for a bit more detail I think. (Not the guy with the exclamation mark, the guys with the swords.)
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rob/NeoHunterko/sketchedtestnew2.pngI changed the colors and some other things explained in below post. I hope I took some of the advice.

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rob/NeoHunterko/mainrev.pngI think what I want help on, is mostly style, shading, and something else. I just can't put my finger on it at the moment. Scroll down for drivel.
I've been struggling with the style for a while now and i just don't know what to go with. I know I should be working on something else, but I had a couple days off this week so I had to do some pixel work. I just don't know what style I should use here.
The smaller one is one I came up with. The larger one is an adaptation to a newer style I found on from a game. Maybe I'm trying to find a happy medium between the two.
Crits, comments, help please.
