Street Fighter-style self-portrait

on: February 12, 2007, 03:38:15 am
I haven't done much as far as large sprites go so I did this as a challenge for myself... I figured it'd be fun to do a self portrait in the style of Street Fighter. Took me about two hours. I used Street Fighter 3 as my reference for scale and proportion.

That's a pretty nice sprite there. The only thing that sticks out at me is his right thumb, which seems to be curving the wrong way. It probably doesn't even need to curve at all. It just looks a bit long and skinny. If you took the curved part off completely, I think it would look better, especially considering the angle/curvature of his hand.

It looks great, the only things are

a) The thumb as mentioned above
b) also the wrist band on the right (our right) should cover that one flesh pixel in the middle of it.

Slightly modified version. In addition to the things mentioned I fixed some light source inconsistencies and tried to clean up that messy area around the midsection.

Well, in the current position of his hand, I don't think his thumb would show at all. Or he should be purposly bending it forward so strangly. I tried it, it's not impossible, but uncomfterable, and not a position I would use when fighting. I suggest erasing the thumb, since to me it seems the most logic position for it would be behind his hand/other fingers. You should try the position once, so you can see for youreself. Furthermore this is looking sweet, keep it up.

cool!  looks kinda like Scott Pilgrim :D  I think the waist needs to be thicker, and the piece of hair that is hanging right in the sprite's face looks unrealistically bent to me.  The cowboy belt buckle looks a little out of place design-wise - there are no other oval shapes in the piece, and it doesn't fit the characters style either. some really fun details in there otherwise!

Thanks! Bryan O'Malley is one of my favorite artists ever. As far as the belt goes, the outfit is actually exactly what I was wearing when I drew it so... I guess I don't have very good fashion sense :^p

I'm not a great fan of how the pants and legs are done. Would you be okay with an edit?
