First edit attempt

[Lunarhound]

Okay, first of all, please keep in mind that I'm not a spriter. I'm just some guy who has Windows, and therefore MS Paint. Yes, I'm aware of The Gimp and have that as well, but at the moment, but I have no idea how to use it. When I couldn't figure out how to do some incredibly simple things, I just opened up Paint.

I needed a basic "hooded adventurer" type, so I figured it wouldn't be too hard to edit Thief03 to get one. So far, I've drawn in a face to make him look less menacing (yes, hand painted it pixel by pixel. Dunno of a better way to do it in paint. heh) and lengthened his cloak.

The face, I suppose, is all right. I don't hate it, at least. The cloak, on the other hand, I'm not happy with. The back view, in particular, is a mess.

I guess I'm just looking for some advice and constructive criticism. Besides trying to make what's already been done look better, I want to turn his sash into an actual belt, and recolor the cloak and tunic, if I can find a recolor tutorial.

It's good, especially for a first. Quite simple, but I like it, though it can look a little odd on the face.

There should be some shading aroudn the top of the face, as right now it looks like the hood is sitting on the top of the forehead, which looks off.

Peace

Its a good first, you should make the face darker cos its shaded by the hood
