Catastrophe Template WIP - All angles added!

[Waiise]

::UPDATE::
I finally got around to do the rear-view, I know it's probably all wrong, but I'm terrible at
the anatomy. Please tell me what's wrong (most likely there's something)

Here's all angles:

::UPDATE::
I've been busy in the army, but I have a week and a bit off so I worked some more on
the template. I've made a side-view, problem is that I'm really bad at shading side-view
as well as making the outlines for it. I need all the criticism I can get, so aim and shoot.

here's the template with the side-view:

Working on a template for a project I'm working on (that means it's not for public use).
I want to know if people like what they see, or if it's total bullcrap. I am aiming for 100%
custom graphics and music and all that what not, I don't require a team yet (However
I do have another artist besides myself working on character design) as I'm still working
on the story and art and now a concept for a template. But enough backstory, Here's
the template:

And an example (also not for public use):

OLD

(the third one is supposed to have some sort of visor)

I hope you like it, and if not, try to stay constructive.

as a final note, I am aiming for a semi-dark story, so I was trying to go a little less chibi
than the RTP.

I like it. It's pretty good, and it's really nice if you're going to use that template for your game. It'll make it stand out and be more unique. I'm no master spriter, but to me it looks just a tad too...wide. Perhaps making it a bit more narrow would help.

 

[Waiise]

first of all, thanks for the comment, here's a comparison of a slightly thinner one and the current one.
Which one is better?

small update, a friend said the chest armour looked like a metal bra

Looks pretty decent.

 

[Waiise]

thanks for the comment, and for your information, if you should we wondering, it's called "catastrophe template" because the working title for the game is "Ere Catastrophe"

nice and decent looking waiise

Don't use Showkaizer's palette.

Seriously it isn't working for the style of shading you have here. His palette works for the Kaizers because he developed it for the sprite he as making. I'd suggest you do the same. Make your own colors for your own graphics. You'd be surprised at how much of a difference it can make.

 

[Waiise]

thanks for the tip, here's a new version with another palette

It's smoother and more suited to your style than his was. But you need to up the contrasts I think. Make the darks darker and the lights lighter.

 

[Sonata]

His arms have no shape. Also the crotch stands out too much, don't use so much of your outline colour, switch it up and use other darker tones.

 

[RavenTDA]

He's all legs. I think you should shorten the length of his thighs a tad or better yet lower his crotch. He looks scrunched in his chest area.

 

[Waiise]

thank you all for the criticism, I have been unable to work on it until today because of some trouble with my computer.
Anyhoo, I have been able to work on it some more today, and this is the result:

Better?

::UPDATED::

- Side-view

 

[Makasu]

I like what I see but I think the collar bone is a tad bit low. Just raise it one pixel row and all should be good. I also think that the side view arms are a tad bit stiff. But seeing as how he has a 'slouched' look to him its okay.

In the sideview as well the thigh needs a little work. He either has a very low but with wide thighs or just wide thighs. :/ but those are small things and not to noticable to the untrained eye. Hah.

Either ways its a good start.

Round out the sideview arms and fix the thigh or the butt and all should be okay. :D

 

[Waiise]

Thanks, I'll get to it

::UPDATED::

Does the side-view look better now?
