You are random. Anyone could have posted a reply, it happened to be you. I'd call that random, unless there's some secret queue I'm unaware of. And I certainly can alter the side view without having to touch either the front or the back. If that was all I had shown you, you never would have mentioned them. I'll be sure next time not to post anything but the exact pixels I'm inquiring about.
Not take critism? Oh for crying out loud.
Try to see it from my point of view. I ask for help with this side view. You all make no mention of my question, but bring up 10 other things you think is wrong with my other views. That's fine. It's true they too needed work and I'm not going to write off your help because it doesn't answer my question. But when you start getting into things which will severly alter the look and feel of my character, and in no way attempt to answer my original question, it simply doesn't help me. I'm not copping an attitude, I'm trying to get the focus back on this side view.
I don't see how CR sprites help. Yes, it's dynamic. Yes they have nice contrast, but if I wanted CR sprites, I would have ripped them. He's full clothed, which makes it rather difficult to see any real form.
Quit being so defensive. I'm not trying to bash you. I just would like someone to post something that sort of resembles an answer to my one and only question. I don't want to get into color counts, hue shifting or simplified poses. This is the pose I'm using, that's final. If you don't want to help with that, then don't expect me to reply with flowers and kisses.
