Akumajô Dracula: Yami no Juin Sprites

[Julien]

Coucou tout le monde . I have decided to make pixels and pixels to improve myself instead of just looking at yours. I had made a Simon Belmont a long time before this topic. I've decided to make a Hector one. Could you please comment and criticize it so I can get it better ? Ho, and I have shown it on Pixel Joint too.


Hector, edited by Kcilc. Thanks.

Possibly my most favorite video game series of all time!
=*) good times... good times...

Ok... aside from the nostalgia, the arms are in a very unnatural position. The left arm should be barely visible, and the right should be 2 pixels-ish closer to the body. You might have to adjust the clothing due to that.
If you're going for the CastleVania style, you should eliminate all internal outlines and use colors to deliminate different sections of the body.

Oh, and hi again, Pixelopolis.

Avoid templates.  You won't get much better relying on the same, tired, pose.  I'd like to see completely new pose for Hector.

[Dascu]

Pretty good. The Dracula X series' sprites have cooler poses though. ;P

[Zach]

hehe i remember doing an edit for thisa while back

[God Slayer]

I remember these already have been posted, if I recall correctly one of the main crits was the long, flesh colored object hanging between his legs. Might want to change that color

Zach : Hi Zach, I remember you. Thanks again for having helped me out last time !

Darien : you are right, I will make another pose for Hector. I was too lazy. I will update it now.

[Julien]

Here's the new pose for Hector. Finally, I like it better. What would you change to improve it?
Please, C+C ! Merci d'avance ^_^

[Kcilc]

yes, your new pose is much better.

I took the liberty to edit Hector:


The stuff I changed:

-I didn't see a consistant lightsource, so I gave him one-ish.
-Too many colors! I took the color count down to 7 colors instead of your 16.
-And don't use black outlines on small sprites.

I've not seen the original sprite so... yeah.

Edit: the feet look better on a white background.

[Julien]

Ho well, I find that your edit is amazing. I will now work from that version.
Thanks!
