Male Muscular RPG Sprite Template WIP

[Gnarf]

This was mainly an edit off of my earlier piece, seen here.  This is a major edit though, so you could say I practically started over.  Thanks to Tremulant for recently helping me achieve better colors (through a PM he sent me.)  I chose the colors on my own based on his guideline. 



Edit*
I thought the blue looked kinda cool in there.

I can't help it, I want it to be simple but I keep going back and adding details...
The right arm seems wacky, but I made them both different for comparison purposes.

I didn't like this but I'll show it anyway.



This could possibly be a hero in a mockup I may create.  I'm still braindead when it comes to creating tiles though.  They never seen to connect correctly and I can't figure out how to do that...but I'll save this for if I ever post any tiles.

C&C appreciated.

Considering the angle, the arm looks fine to me. The palette is awesome and overall, I really like it.

Thanks, and update...

The muscle definition is amazing.

I think it looks good.
The update with the blue makes it a bit contrasty between the blue and the next color. Perhaps lighten the blue so its not as contrasty, because since it's so contrasty it makes me feel like there should be an extra shade to blend it. Making the blue less dark would lessen the contrast and not require any extra shades of color if you're going for simplisticy.
Looks good though, would be interested seeing some animations

agreed... or alternativenaly add a hint of blue to the overall skin tone to try and merge the colors closer...

either way... nice little study...

... be curious to see it moving


Keep on Pushin...!

Thanks for the crits!  I'll update with his backside soon and I'm going to keep working on the blue since it doesn't sound to hard to make it work well with the original skin tone.  I'd really like to see how it would come out, as well.  I want to be able to implement other colors rather than just dark/light base colors.
