[WIP] Spawn

on: February 07, 2008, 09:53:09 pm
I've always had a fascination with Spawn artwork, so for my first shot at pixel art, that's what I tried.  Let me know what you think and where I can improve!

Thanks!



*edit
after reading some of the stuff about ripping on here, I think it should be prudent for me to say that this was done from an image that I found on google images.  I hope that doesn't constitute as "ripping" and if it does I'll be more than happy to remove this.  Thanks

It's messy, but it's a good start. 
-The outlines of the cape especially stick out--if it were mine, I'd even get rid of them. 
-The lighting (highlights/and shading) is messy.  They feel randomly placed, and they don't seem like they're pulling enough weight--they aren't showing depth as well as they could.  Maybe a contrast thing?
-The face could read better...feels very blurry.

Otherwise, its a pretty sound design.
I'm curious to see the reference picture, though.

Hi, thanks for the feedback!  I did some work on it today to try and clean things up.  I'm mostly looking to see if I'm on the right track to "clean it up".

The areas I worked on are all on the cape on the left side of the image and on Spawn's right arm.
I removed all of the random pixels and made them more deliberate
I also removed the black outlines on the cape as Rydin suggested
Does this look better?



Here is the reference image:
