[WIP]Small sprites

on: April 24, 2008, 01:47:11 pm
I've just realized that I can't make small sprites  :wah:. But I need them badly so here goes what I've made until now. C+C please, and be as cruel as you want.

I hate me being so bad at this  :'(.

I feel your pain. ;p I'm not really an artist so all I can give you is my general impressions. I think it looks pretty good though.

I'm not sure I dig the eyes, they kinda look like sunglasses when I zoom out. Color choices make him kinda bland, like the green hat - the top of his hair really blends into it. There's something I don't dig about him not really having a neck, but with the height of the sprite your going for I dunno what you could do.

How's that for unhelpful. ;p

The only thing bothering me is those dark outlines on his pants. At this scale, having too much contrast between an outline and a shape can look like selout, even if it's not.
I mild from suffer dislexia.

With so much torso rotation the far arm shouldn't always be visible. Make it go away when the other arm is forward. Well, I can see that it kind of does, but it's still got more frames of visibility than it should

Good start. Tho I do agree with Xion and also that blob on his shirt looks like an artefact from his hand when in motion. I think it does not really work and you might want to use another colour there.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.
