Spriting:
I spent a good long time doing this template but after a little while and alot of sprite observation I've come to think something is wrong with the design of these sprites, I need to know what's wrong with them though, I think it's something with the shape and what not, I don't know, maybe someone could lend me a hand?

I'm relatively new posting here, but I've been around for a while, after lurking for so long I decided to make an account.. Definatley need some critique.

maybe you could move ear 2 pixel near eyes in the side view ?
in the front view we don't see the nose
maybe you could add a little highlight on the top of the head

The concepts of the game in progress are the same, I did a little graphical revamp to see how the style would work out. I'm near satisfied with the current changes, you think there's anything else I could do?

Graphical update, added some trees I'm working on, the coniferous tree and the palm, also did a quick paperdolling test for one of the little guys, adding an outfit as well as a pickaxe.Then I have a very wip walk animation in progress, something's off where the head bobs too much in animation.
The lighting on the palm is wrong as is the palette, I need some help with that.
-
Isn't that just a color reduction on an RMXP tree?...
-
That palm tree does look strangely familiar-

The palm doesn't look ripped, but Wes (agenda) made this comparison image in irc yesterday. Right is RMXP tree.
Explanation Sakoshi? I'm assuming it was just a reference. When you use reference it's better to let us know - it's easier to crit when we know where you're coming from, and people won't accuse you of ripping if you are forthcoming about your process.

The palm doesn't look ripped
It is, canopies are almost exactly the same shape-

Anyway, it looks like you just edited the existing sprites, which won't help you nearly as much as using them as a ref and doing it yourself.

I didn't rip the trees though, both trees were used as references, and the trunks are entirely different.
I took the leaf formation from both trees because I didn't have a good reference picture for the leaf formation on such trees.
As it stands both trees are still work in progress at this point, it was just a progression.
-
It looks like you stayed a bit too close. Use a ref to get to know the style and techniques used to make it, not copying and editing.
-
No problem. Anything about the character template?

Redid the palm without copying the leaf pattern from the first one, the coniferous one is in progress, added a sitting animation and some character hair tests as well at two armor tests.
-
Hey Sakoshi, I like that you elongated the character's body, and also it looks more like a 3/4 view since we can see the top of the heads, their eyes aren't looking directly back at the player. Good work!

Added a few body modifications to the main template.
