Not another fighter sprite...

on: April 08, 2006, 01:03:51 am
'fraid so  ;D

I made this originally for the King of Spriters thing in the other topic, it's my first attempt at doing clothing in this style. The guy has no face, not because I like the look but because I can't get it to look right. He either looks to cartoony or retarded, or both. Anyway the hands were a pain too I just gave up in the end ot was annoying me that much.



Anyway if C+C and if you want to have a go at giving him a face, then by all means do, I always welcome edits.

His left foot should be pulled back a lot.

I think his left leg should be lowered.
And the left foot brought back.

I'm far from the best when it comes to realism, but I tried to toss a face on.


now it's not the best, but I"m sure you can get ideas from it.

some other flaws I noticed was his right arm seems misproportioned, the legs have already been mentioned, and something doesn't seem right about the fold in his shirt.

Thanks to all of you who replied, I'll make the changes later on today or tomorrow.

TaKam - Thanks and a very cool edit on the face, that's what I was trying to get.

Setz - Yeah the right arm is way too short, the hand is the what caused the problem. I'll fix that.

Souly - I'll drop the left leg down by about 2 pixels from above the knee and see how it looks.

David - I'll pull it back and see how it looks.

I think you should leave more space to the face by taking off some of his hair. I also don't tlike the way his shirt ends near the elbows; you should use gravity for it. Now it seems there is some wind below him and lifting his shirt (reminds me Marylin). Although, if he were an Anime character, specially from Yu-Gi-Oh, that would seem normal XP

You've got a really cool sprite style going =). Might want too reduce the curvyiness of the dude's > calf/pant drape, its a bit extreme. Maybe you could add a visible sole the shoe? Also try AAing the outline to the sprite itself, it would help reduce some jaggedness. Great job overall.
