Man, that took forever to make that walk sprite and its still not finished! I need some hardcore crits for the face especially, so crit away.

Thats pretty kick-ass, make your own font and make it more legible(for the details on the ship part), try making the ships a bit more diverse.

Most Castlevania games have a more realistic look to them, well the people do anyway(Maybe not for those giant portraits they use while they talk). To show some emotion in the face of your character, you'd either have to make him pretty big or disproportional, if you want to stick to a smaller more proportional look, I would suggest trying to show emotion throughout the entire body, aka body language(I think). For me personally, I think you should go with a more realistic style.

Left one's Maddox, in the middle is the manly Beef Jerky and on the right there is the enemy: An emo. Kind of a mockup, I'll attempt to make a BG for it in a bit, anyway, I need some crits on the overall style and if it's well, manly enough.

Dark nipples are dark.
