[DONE(?)] Indie Brawl character attempt (Assassin Blue)

[Conzeit]

Remember that I'm trying to match the style. The guy that I'm using as a reference (The dude with the top hat) also has long arms that would reach the floor

This is the problem with the idea of Style, the idea that you should copy mistakes along with conscious aesthetic decisions. if the assassin blue character is not designed to have gorilla proportions you have no reason to mess them up, regardless of wether your refference has a mistake in it or not.

John Kricfalusi (creator of Ren & Stimpy) is a pretty unique voice in cartoons and on the internet, he has a good grass of the basics of drawing caricature and has made quite the educative force out of his blog, I reccomend it to you!

These are good explanations of how to pose a character, and big words like composition, line of action, design and construction( I think you specially need to think of the line of action)

Thank you very much for all those links, they are very interesting! 

but, if I follow what they say, I'll have to start from scratch, and I really don't want to do that 


Anyway, I'm hoping that I have finally got this down.. hopefully these proportions are correct and still fit with the graphic style..

Judgin from the other sprites, you should use black only for the far outline (the one wide 2-3 pixel) and use colors used instead of black to divide things.

How's that, then?
