It mighta been a good idea to just bump your old thread :/
What perspective are you going for? Top down? Straight forward?

This is actually a new sprite for a different game :p

This one I'm trying to get the stance of just an average joe.
I work with a programming language called DM, www.byond.com to get more about it but,
graphics mostly in Byond use 32x32, so I'm giving him the height that he is at, to later on add Overlayers
such as hair, ect.

I'm shooting for the perspective of top down in a way, but not completely.  Sorry if I'm being confusing :P

The sprite looks really, really similar though :/
Also, if your looking for top down perspective, here is a good example:

(linked cause huge)

Now, your colors seem a bit boring. Add some shifts, have the saturation bright, then fade to a paler saturation as you go down the shades. I've never really done top down perspective, and since its not really top down at the moment, I cant crit it all that well.

I don't want to shrink him like the size of the Link sprite though  :-[, I'd like to keep the perspective he's at

I posted him as an example, not to be shrunken down to that size.
Also your supposed to wait more than 12 minutes to bump your topic :/

I'm pretty sure what your doing is called 2/3 perspective. If not, shoot me.

It looks nice, but his shoulders from behind look off. I liked it better in the older versions.

Thanks :p

The shoulders are actually tricky :o, in the older versions i dressed them up with some costumes,
and placed them onto some Turf tiles.  Well  :-[, it looked horrible.  I'm going to keep at it til i get the best i can out of the icon,
so don't worry!  ;D
Title: RPG Sprite (sitting) C+C
Post by: LuckwithinFavor on July 19, 2008, 10:02:05 am
I've been working on this icon for a while now, and then I hit a bump in the road  :'(
I'm trying to make a Sit state, in which they'll be sitting on a Bench or so, but as you can see. It came out horrible. :(

Take all my suggestions with a grain of salt. Due to size, it looks like he is holding in a pee. And the back version looks like he is kneeling, not "squatting", or the pose you're looking for. I can't edit, but I'm just mentioning kinda obvious things.

Yeah I'd have to agree with you on that Sokota, :o
I'm going to redo this state completely, I'll post it when I finish  :noob:

but if anyone could C+C it for me, as an example (or use that edit  :lala:), it would be much appreciated! ;D
