Figuring out what "castlevania style" is seems on topic for a thread called "WIP castlevania style prac".
If I showed my distaste for anime a little strongly, sorry  :-\

yueprofile: you should have probably posted this in the art thread first. then you could post it in here when there's actual pixel art to speak of..
it might be a one shot deal

That's quite true. I hope we see some pixel art in this thread soon otherwise I'll... lock I guess?

well, CV style could be anything from NES sprites, to brushed in SNES sprites, to outlined, badly shaded GBA  sprites.....

But I'm asuming you mean SOTN/RONDO style. I happen to have a friend called Sonic Reaper who knows it down pat.....personally I overcomplicate things so much I end up not being able to do it :p

it's quite an agreeable style, it's gots lots of simplicity yet has good qualities for making good depth and some detailing....IMO the only thing missing is face features.

Maybe you should actually try the sprite style

guys i am open to any crits  and i dun think i am good enough to catch everything from the Castlevania style
maybe i should change the name of the topic if it really disturb you guys

Okay, so let me dish:

First thing that strikes me is that his proportions look too 'real'. I mean. When you think Castlevania or other anime inspired designs, the character mostly have these supermodel-like porportions, with longer limbs and torsos. Second thing is that the pose, altough correct, looks a bit uninsteresting to me. Maybe you should experiment with perspective a bit more?
i agree, the poses are always my weak point,  if you dun mind, could you show me some draft mock up?

I don't think you understand what pixel art is. Have yourself a look around.

I suspect that this is a resized version of a further finished result from the previous image we saw. So it may have been drawn in (wild guess) 10 colors, but due to the resize every pixel has a different mixture/combination of colours. Regardless of that I suggest you to don't draw such large things in pixels, dont go over 100x100 for a start, draw just the face and not the entire body is an option as well.
