The man with no face.

Sorry for not editing but I want to explain the new design.

It is a skull, a cartoon kind of one.
He has one eyeball with broken glasses on.
The other hole is empty.

Hi TFGD.
The skull isn't round, so its not really a SKULL. Its more of a mask. While your palette is nice, I say add another shade of the blue, giving a new darker shade. Broken glasses would have a frame across the middle and the glass would still pick up light and shine.
Also, if you're going to add a background, get rid of the anti-aliasing on the outside.
Last, don't use a tutorial for a background. In your own style, create a backround, possibly a graveyard, or having it on a fire place mantle of an abandoned house. Maybe with a ghost in the background.


That looks like Duskull.

It is a mask I guess.
I will add another blue shade and I will not use a tutorial for the background, I usually do it all myself.

Much nicer. I actually like it a lot. You've improved so much.

Alright so when I saw the skull I tried doing an edit.
Then you decided that since it looked more like a mask then a real skull, that'd you just stick with the mask.

So that makes my edit worthless.
Oh well, was fun to do.


Probably a few things wrong with it.

Good luck on the mask.

I think drawing a skull, and then having someone point out it looks flat, and then changing your mind and saying its a mask is a real cop out.
Why don't you try drawing something from a reference picture. Your picture looks bad becuase it doesn't have proper shading and its
hard to know whats what - you say it has a hollow eye but does it look like that? The way its shaded it looks like an eyepatch. And
don't say "It is a mask with an eye patch i guess". You say you've been around spriters a long time but how old are you?

[Claredeth]

Age should not matter, I will give you a hint, its a few days later than soup.

As for the eye shading, I am aware of the fact it is shaded wrong.  I have been spriting for 6 months but only recently returned for about 3-4 months.

With each sprite I learn.  I really hate this pixel art though.  I would rather us the pallete for another thing.

Please please please increase your canvas size a little more. Because you're using a generic background colour, it's made basically pointless and just in the way by cramming everything into it.

Age does matter a little bit to the critic, because we'll then know a bit more of what you're lacking, such as experience or such. Generally it shouldn't matter to the audience though.

If you think it's shaded wrong, fix it! And if you dislike the palette, fix it! Of course, if you really dislike what you've done, or the general concept, then there should be no harm in moving on to something new, like you did before, you can only get better.

Good luck.
