I'll Hang You Good! (wip)

on: January 04, 2006, 05:49:00 am
sorry guys - long time no see.  Sadly i was grounded for a while, but I intend to be a LOT more active now.  Since i was a bit out of practice, I decided to do a pretty simple fighter sprite.  My main points of focus were color selection (without using PS to alter them afterwards), and character design.  I'm really sluggish at making an original concept - thus, the Hang-Man was born.....still kinda crummy of a concept though.  Oh well.



C+C on anything, but I really am looking forwards to advise on colors or character design.

Haha, that's awesome. I really like the shading.
Maybe you could give him a grungy wifebeater with pit stains.

Maybe he should be dressed like a cowboy, considering the name.

I like him, looks ready to kick ass :)

I made a lil edit colourwise and brought it down to 16 colours including transparency.



the ramps could be way more efficient. i made the darkest green and blue 1 colour also the orange on the buckle is now in the rope as well and slighly altered.
I also made the ramps less monohue to add depth and added small highlights using the yellow of the buckle a bit. also the greys and the belt colours basically all were wasted on your version. the belt colour was merged with the outline wich is now a dark greyish blue. As for the greys on the hat, in most cases pure greys look a bit mank because in real life they basically don't exist as that due to coloured light, so in this case sharing the blues seemed logical.

hope this helped.

cheers

I like the green specs added in Helm and ptoing's edits.It might not fit with your style of shading, but I think it gives much more volume to the pec area, which seems kinda flat in your original. I think Helm's edit on the lower arm to our left works much better than your arm which looks cylindrical by comparison.
