Fighter

[Xion]

Well, I saw a buncha fighter sprites poppin' up 'round here, so I decided to give one a go.

I was really unhappy with the way my KOS sprite turned out. This one, I think, is more classically styled. This is for nothing in particular. I won't be making a portrait or anything. It's just a fighter.

What I really need help with is the missing leg. I'm stumped on how it should be positioned. Is the crotch too wide? I wanted him to have a wide, "ready" stance, and would loathe redoing the already done leg, since it was a pain to get to this point and I really like how everything else turned out.

Oh, and do you's think his shirt is too wrinkly?

C&C much appreciated.

I love the jeans....and...that's it. man, I wish I still cared as much as before

keep it up

[Stitchy]

The jeans really are eye-cathing. And I think the shirt is just the right amount of wrinkly. xD Though, I think his neck is a little bit too thick around his chin. Other than that, it's coming along fantastically.

[Tremulant]

God damn! I'm really loving the palette, and the design. The shirt might be too wrinkly as far as realism's concerned but I think it looks great here.
As for the leg, I think maybe something like this, only done, y'know... good:

I think the skull face gave him more character, but It could just be me. Lookin forward to seeing it finished.

I think more and darker cast shadows would really help to make this guy pop, especially around the face and hood.

The shape of the head seems a bit odd under the hood, a little too much of a dip before the front edge.

The far hand is pretty well done, but the close hand looks a bit weak.

About the shirt, it's is a bit more wrinkly than I prefer, but that's a personal thing more than an actual problem. Perhaps, however, you should lighten up the bottom of the shirt a bit, it looks a bit odd without any highlights down there, especially considering his posture. Maybe some little strings or a pocket on the hoodie would break up all the wrinkles a bit.

ithink if you gave the other leg better angles it would be easier to match the pose.

the blade there at themoment. the front should be pointing at us.. not a side on angle.

for the other egg youcouldhave it bending out if youunderstand that.

[Helm]

I think your colour theory knowledge has really gone up a level lately. This is very good. You've been pixelling for quite a while now, as I remember. Good to see it pay off for you. Finish this sprite, it's very close to being done, and then there'll be stance critique and the like.

[Turbo]

How about ?

[Xion]

Camus/Stitchy/Helm: Thanks! I'll see about that neck.

Tremulant: Thanks for the edit. Yeah, that's about what I was going for, but with both legs bent like that, it looks odd...Perhaps off-balance or something?

Pawgie:Whaddaya mean by

The shape of the head seems a bit odd under the hood, a little too much of a dip before the front edge.

?
Could you elaborate on the hand?
I had tried the strings before, but they just got in the way, so I tried the hoodie pocket. Better or worse?

Nix: I think I see what you're saying, but not really. Could you give an example?

Turbo: Yeah, I was looking for something in between yours and Tremulant's.

I think I found a leg that I like.



C&C?

[Nix]

that whatimeant about the first leg.. ignore the bit about the secondleg.

another idea.. if you want him to be a fighter.. he would need a posethatlook like hes red to open a can of whoopass. so i was thinking he could be on the rubber bit at the front of blades.. like tip toe.
