Definitely work on the contrast, but besides that, your form and technique is coming along very nicely!

Thanks man, and yeah, contrast is really a bitch, I try and try but still looks either too bright or too colorful, I don't know if it's because I use charamaker1999 cause how I choose the colors is by numbers, like in graphicsgale you can see a gradient to the left so it's easier. And I'll keep this in mind.

Look, he has returned!

It's good to see you again Antifarea!

Nice sprites you've got going there. They look awesome. Are you going to use them as stills like that, or do you intend on making character sets for them?

Haha, thanks for the welcome, as well for the comments. I haven't had internet for some months, but I just got it back today wooo hooo hooo, so I will see you guys more often, going to also submit a lot of content I have in plans for this year, as well I have already missed the release something twice, which got me pissed since I wanted to share some stuff since back then, lol well back on topic...

For commercial characters, I only do 1 pose, I am spriting them watching their artwork that I can get online or from some of the strategy guides I have at home. But I am studying tutorials and practicing a lot, cause I am going to remake all my games using graphics from scratch, starting with Soldier's Quest.

Here is one of the monsters in the game, from the first area, one of the toadstools... by the way, fewer colors used and I started spriting some monsters like this one in the first week that I started doing sprites. I will go back before the game is released and work again on these sprites:

I like these. Kinda remind me of NES DQ enemies.

You mean the toadstool?

I didn't know you were a sprite artist! Some of them are rather impressive. Keep practising!

I like the Mushroom Monster =)

Thanks for the comments. I will be practicing this year all along, since I want to be a proffesional. :) The toadstool (mushroom monster) is one of the monsters from Soldier's Quest. This is an old version that appears there, I have to fix some of the contrast on it before the game is released on the 20th... I did those monsters back in january, so I have to fix some stuff in the older monster sprites I made. :)
