OMG, those are some sexy...:D

You should release them on Renderosity!

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. I had read some advice somewhere that a light source on a sprite should be 12 o'clock and tried it that way. Your examples there are the same though...

Here I see what you mean about depth though now that you mention the stomach being a little darker. Like how the legs and biceps look a little darker and it gives them depth.

*sway* Like Brady says, I think a lot of this stuff wouldn't stand out as much on a standard two-head tall SD sprite.

Here, Ness, does this look better?

...I'm probably going around in circles here.


I understand what you're trying to say. Here's a closer look at my work:
You can say my technique isn't effective, but you can't say I have no concept of form and shading. That's all I have to say about those criticisms any longer.

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Thanks, Locke. I did think about this and it's a bit awkward either way, but you're right.

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Lol, I whipped this up to show you my understanding of depth and dimension and got a little carried away with making some creepy thing:


Yours is much cuter:


Actually, I don't understand, "Like if you look at Earthbound or the older retro games, they have some form that makes them look solid and more stylistically appealing." Earthbound is the flattest sprites ever: http://starmen.net/mother2/images/game/

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Thanks for the support and advice. Spriting is so frustrating, it really helps to get feedback. I look at what I'm doing with hair now and think, 'omg it looks horrible, does it look horrible? I can't tell, my brain is mush now...' lol.

Nessiah - The background color is what I use while working, not too eye-burning but won't get mixed with other greens. I'll try to remember to change it to something nicer before uploads though. You're right about how ugly it looks. :D

I wanted to make something that was really lanky and cartoony with the figure and made a decision to make it look a little more 2 dimensional and flat to enhance that look. Is it a little too much though?

Is the one in the corner your avatar? o.o


Lol, yeah, I was working on hair like hers.

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Oh Ma Gawds, working on hair is the worst pain ever:

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Ok, here's what I've come up with now:



If these look ok, I think I'll go ahead and make some finalized sets later. Interesting note, I was going for pale with Mr. Brows on the left and most of that effect was thanks to playing with the contrast between the light and dark.

And, here, it's later now:

Sprite Base, Feedback, etc.

Yeah, the pupils are another example of my liking something, subdued pupils, and not really having the experience to pull it off in an elegant way that doesn't just leave them looking flat. You can see in my last example that I've been experimenting with the eyes as well though.
