Pixel Art / [WIP] Metal Slug style character
« on: October 21, 2008, 03:38:52 pm »
Hey guys, I'm new here. Seems like a nice place :D

So, after playing the new Metal Slug 7 DS release, I decided to try and create a character in that style. I've shown it to a couple of people, but they aren't pixel artists, so it would be nice to get the opinions and critique of fellow pixel artists.



So far, I like it, but some things just bug me. The head for example. I wanted it to look slightly comedic, the helmet jammed down over his eyes, but I haven't been able to get that when messing around with it. The meeting point between his head and shoulders also looks odd, so if anyone could give me a hand on how to improve these, I'd be really grateful, and any other comments are welcome too.

Update:

OK, taking into account Fatalis67's comment, I went back and studied the Metal Slug style and basically re-did the whole sprite from scratch, incorporating a few things that Shrike suggested. Here's the updated one:



Thanks guys! :D
