kahnival Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The top of the head is a bit to pointly if you ask me, try flattening it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahnival Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Perhaps bring the shoulders in a bit and make them look less circular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time making a character sprite. I seriously have no artist ability. /: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He's got a John Wayne stance, which makes his legs look like bendy sausages when he moves. Try and make them closer together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and make them closer together.Got a point there, try bringing all the limbs in a bit. Not so much that it looks stuck together, but rarely do people (except John Wayne lol) walk with such a wide gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahnival Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Try nocking up a set of them…I.E standing still, then one leg forward, then the other leg forward so you have a whole little walking side view set. It will always look odd if its static and standing still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viciousdead Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Still looks awful… I tried to make it... ;)>!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahnival Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The legs look to short in my opinion in the middle one, and to skinny in the third one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viciousdead Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I feel it looks radically bent now… Why can't I get it right? -_->! EDIT: He's doing lunges when he walks left or right. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahnival Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 If you can soften that bend a little I think you'll be onto something :DThis certainly is impressive for your first one though!Also if like me its 2:45am you might just be tired, maybe get some sleep and look at it with a fresh head tomorrow…I do the same when I paint, some times I may not go back to a painting for a week or two.

SawQuart Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Don't try so hard to put space in between the arms and torso. Also, legs don't split like that when you walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saadhamza Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think your problem is too much space. That's probably why it looks like he's doing lunges. Don't make the legs spaced out from each other so much, even when walking. The triangle of space between them should be much tighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCream Tuesday Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I Mainly want to inform you to slow down.You getting ahead of yourself. Before you've gotten a decent shape, you've gone onto the walk cycle. Making a ton of extra work for you.Below I've posted an edit, The Left most edit I've done to your sheet is a VERY simple sketch over with a 3x3 brush. I've done this to get a general shape. added the basic highlights.Next to it. I've copied over the sketch and zoomed to begin doing a actual pixel level edit. Where I've added in your second darket skin tone. blending between the muscles where needed.Main problems with yours was anatomy, as well as stance, and depth.
