Reworking with old sprites

[demon xxx x]

To be honest, I've noticed I'm improving my pixeling skills, I don't know how, but they are improving, so I picked pixeling back up.

Working on giving this sprite a new look, depth, and better detail, I've started something small.

Constuctive Criticism is welcome. :D

Edit1: Made the new head a bit smaller.

[DFA]

can you also provide a sample that includes hair and clothing?
for some people it really makes a difference.

i've seen naked/bald sprites before and thought they were terrible, then when i saw the same sprite with hair and clothing it looked amazing

[demon xxx x]

I don't really think it's gonna matter if it has hair or clothes or not, because I'm not doing that yet, I'm reworking the whole entire sprite..

Hmmm, i feel like the stance (namely the arms) are unnatural. Like one of those super buff people that can't put their arms by their sides. Maybe try to loosen up his arms and bit and let them fall closer to his sides

and the head is just too round, it bugs me lol

[demon xxx x]

ahah, the 2nd head is the change, and I changed it a bit, I'm thinking about redoing the arms as well, but heres what I'm changing so far; I've added more colors, to make it easier for more depth, but this, in all, is just for a paperdoll sprite(equiping an armor will show it here, then the physical game sprite[didnt do it yet, of course ahah] will have the small version of the armor, the game sprite will be 32x64, naturally).  It's the Warriors PD sprite.

Update;

The blue is there so I can work around it to give it proper depth, without ruining the sprite itself, so until then thsi is waht is done so far.

[zade_o]

ok, well then that stance will probably do for that purpose.

the 2nd head still bugs me lol. I think it's the jaw that needs to be de-rounded. He needs to have a manly jaw if he has such a buff-man body.

[demon xxx x]

True, I'll fix that up now, thanks for the tip.

Edit:

Made the jaw a bit sharper, hopefully it works now ahah, if not, I'll still work on it.

But this may be where I stop for now, because I have Lunch soon ahah.

[Since I can't access these sprites in school as of tomorrow, I'm gonna have copy and paste the picture >_< so I'm gonna have another pic below this note]

Well while your fixing up.. change the pallete a bit. Put some yellow in it. Skin isn't that pink.

[SawQuart]

The head looks to skrunched up now, make it a bit larger like the first one. Also add ears.

I disagree. I think the skin is good.

[ddunit]

That man has no manliness to go with all that muscle. What a pity.

[HappyBoy]

May I ask for what kind of game this is? Some people don't think that mathers, but I do…
If it's for a DBZ game... it looks awesome!
If it's a warrior for a / yet another middle ages based game... it's too pumped up

[demon xxx x]

I can't really say middle-aged or anything, I'd say it's more of a mix of modern/middle aged.. so I guess you could say it's more of an era like Fable 2? Not really sure how to describe it..

But, basically it's gonna be more along the sides of advancing, so I'd have pistols in there, for Hunters after one of the 2 choices of job advancements maybe?

@ICT
The palette, I completely agree, it's terrible, it's old too, I'm working on something other than this, the palette for that is better, and I'm probably gonna use that, I'll fix it up sometime soon.

@Jungletoe
The head does seem a bit scrunched.. was thinking about adding a bit more length, but, I might redo the whole size of the sprite, to be honest.. I was reading something about Greek art a while back and the Greeks favored 7.5 - 8 heads of length, so I was thinking maybe do a face-forward version, then redo it to add the depth, and proper resizing, but for now I'm just sticking with this.

@Everyone else
I'm working on more of this later tonight.

Gun Powder Age?
cuz this is like when they found out about guns and the guns are pretty old guns

so i would assume very early industrial age
or just gun powder age

[demon xxx x]

I suppose, but see how most MMOs are today? Where there are classes like Fighter/Warrior, Swordsman/Knight, Hunter/Archer, Sharpshooter/Gunner, Mage, Cleric, and so on?  It would be like that.

He has a wonderful point, and I will be fixing it up as soon as I can, can't upload the new pics yet, but I finished the upper-body, and I'm gonna start work on the lower-body.

Sexy, good start chief.

Chief? XD My name isn't Chief.  Chief is that guy who made some sick ass SideScroller sprites for a game he WAS gonna work on with Novalis.

[demon xxx x]
