As to the sprite, I've seen it before. dislike the heavy usage of black.

Then you're gonna hate the portrait.  It too uses a lot of black.  And I ain't changing that because I currently love using black and find it interesting to build the colors coming out of a sort of shadow and it suits the subject matter.  Plus I just got sick and tired of all the colored outline techniques and I grew tired of Capcom's style and never much liked SNK's at all, so I don't feel like copying them for this.  I do a lot of black and white sorta horror comic art these days and the sprite reflects that.

Image size doesn't matter! It's what you do with your pixels that counts!

"Ruyumaru:

jarring colour choice, blanket shading everywhere, impossible folds for cloth, anatomy issues, no understandable lightsource."

im really just doing this for fun, fighter sprites definitely arent my thing anyway.

Helm, your c+c really helped, just one small thing, the pants are supposed to be huge. Think of them as less-crowded goth pants.

Ok I think I'm done.  Kept it to 16 colors just for practice.  Fastest pixel piece I've ever done in relation to size.  Sketched last night and pixelled today, which to those who know my usual work speed, is a miracle.  Anyways I'm pretty pleased with it.  Tried out some technique ideas I'd been wanting to try for a while.  Yeah it's a tad big so crop if it exceeds the max size.  I best get on with the contract work I'm late with now, eh.

EDIT:  Updated version posted further down

Scuba's second piece:

Nice pants, you're wasting the blue shade on the coat, too close to black right now. Generally a simple but effective sprite. I'd aa the little bit of facial hair there, but no biggie.
Wasted how so?  I wasn't specifically trying to stick to a specific palette limit.  I could have snagged the dark blues fro his shirt but I kind of liked the dark blue jacket highlights, what would you have suggested?

Hmm, looking at my pic now I think the hand looks awkwardly positioned here.  On the pencil sketch ideas he has that arm pulled all the way back up and behind him and the other arm down diagonally and the long hair elbow spikes sorta formed an invisible diagonal line right through the picture.  Doesn't seem to work as well without the rest of the pic.

Ah well...  it'll do.
