Forest Boss

[Carim123]

I'm making a sprite for a boss of a forest-based dungeon, so I want your opinions on it.

I drew a few concepts of it, and I've tried making a sprite from it.

>! 
**OLD:**
**NEW:**
**THIRD ATTEMPT:**

Anything you like/dislike?
It isn't completely finished, and I haven't finished the tail, and I'll probably be making more further edits to it.

Thanks for reading!

The legs are a bit awkward. Try to have them bent or something. The leaves under the hands look odd too, so try to include more than one leaf "bundle" if you know what I mean.

the roots on the ground look weird,  his legs are too short, and his feet look a bit weird.

[Kusy]

Looks like it's smiling.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I've changed the awkward-looking legs, and the leaves are more of a bundle than under the thing.

@Skull:

Roots - Haven't finished yet. ;d

Oh, and if you look at the concept art, the legs take up 1/5 of the monster's height, and I've tried my best to keep in proportion.

@Kusy:

> Looks like it's smiling.

xD. Think I'll keep that as a extra little creepy thing.

OK, I've added the tail, remaining leaves, and the other suggestions, and a few other details, opinions now?

EDIT: Sorry, double post. ;-d

[Kusy]

Those eyes look bad. How about making his eyes into two hollows? Would make it look a bit more creepy.

[lollicat]

The eyes shouldn't just be two white lines.

[Lenton]

A scary mouth would be good too.

[Carim123]

Changed the eyes, and added a "mouth"

That's a lot better. I'd still recommend going with the hallowed eyes look Kusy suggested though.

They are hollowed..?

[tsuki]

the THIRD ATTEMPT looks really nice. Did you made all directions?

[evilbunnie]

Bush at top is too symmetrical.

[bgill31]

It would look more menacing if the arms were down rather than held out sideways.

Hey dude, I really hope you don't mind, but I love your Tree Boss idea and I had to do a concept art one myself.  I really liked your root idea on the first sprite and i think it would animate very nicely as an attack through the ground that isn't coming directly from him, sorta like in my sketch how i have it drawn. I think the root is a pretty good idea to abandon early.  so instead of making them shoot from him, try to make them look like their coming up through the ground instead.

Again hope you don't mind me doing a sketch of your tree Idea, but it was a good idea I just wanted to explore more of the concept.  And if you see anything on the sketch you might like feel free to use what you want.

Nice 7 :D Nice WarDog. Good work :L ^^

@WarDog:

> -snip-

Haha, thanks, I'm OK with it. Feel free to use it for whatever, it's your work, after all. ^_^

Coming up from the ground was exactly what I needed, except I'll be making that a spell it can use, so time to animate.

Again, thanks.

[LemonDoggy]

Ehh sorry, But wth does snip even mean?

[Ruins of Hell]

-snip- is used so you don't quote a long message (which is annoying to scroll through twice).

Try to clean him up a bit, avoid having any 1 pixel alone.
