Cool :biggrin:
Alright! Here's what i see with your character Heinze.
First the hair, you need to plan this out a biiit better next time, the hair bang going off to the left side of the head for example looks strange.
What i think you need to do here is draw it so it looks like its coming forward instead, because right now it looks like it's pasted to the side of the head.
The overall flow of the hair is good, no jagged look to it, you just need to think about how and where you put those pieces of hair.
On shirt.
From what i see you followed the belt line here more or less, and you don't need to follow the line perfectly so it's cool.
I think the main thing here is to keep your lights, shadows and line work more solid so we can tell what's really going on with the outfit.
Pants.
The line design going through the center should not look flat and straight from top to bottom, we need those pants to look alive (always think round/3d), check out the example and you'll get what i mean ^^.
Follow the template shadows for certain pieces of clothing you make, see how i used a darker shade for the bottom of the pants same as the template is shaded, doesn't look flat this way.
Well, i'm sleepy now so if i missed something i will get to it later on.
I've kept the character somewhat simple in certain parts and i've changed some colors around as you can see, i think the white color stood out a bit too much on the original look, but my lines could use a bit more whitening though.
Ah and i added the dark color between the eyes because it just completes the look for me haha.
Image has zoom.
**I'm really just telling you folks how i go about doing things (more than one way, or better ways), i've learned what i know now by trial and error and i'm still learning more crap myself**

Thank ya! I haven't thought of the battle system yet, if i where to try some non picture battlers i would probably go for a back frame template, something like phantasy star, breath of fire or lufia.
Right now i'm trying to focus on getting the temps out as well as the rest of the frontal frames for the rtp.

Something i never posted here, just a quickie of sasuke from naruto. I remade someone's frame on another forum to give better tips.
These tips are those edited and added to the top post.

** Child added to top **
I will make some slight shade edits to the male template (mainly to frontal and back frame), nothing too noticeable, i will let you know when i upload that.

Forgive the bump, i made some small edits that i want you all to save.
Edits to male after release.
Nothing that will really mess any character up at all, but replace the older stuff with this please.
Frontal stomach area shade edit for standing and moving, got rid of the extra gray shade of the outer sides of eyes, darker shade added to foot moving back (to us) for the back frame, raised light on forehead for frontal frames.
Female.
Raised and shrunk lighting on head for frontal, same shade change as male for back frame foot
The rest you will not notice unless you compare and look really hard ^^
I did not make the changes to the darker skin colors folks, because i will make a better shade than this.

Sure, you guys just pm it to me and i will add it to the top under your name :thumb:
I added the cat heads as well as some bigger eyes for the child, i have not tested out the cat heads but i think they are fine, possibly that ear facing us might need editing but right now i dont see a thing wrong.
Remember folks, follow the simple tips on the first post when working on your characters, and dont rush it ^^
--
Another skin color now added to top, one more on the way.
----------
E-
I added two more example characters, they were part of the rtp but i can do much better, use the colors if you like.
I will start sketching out designs for the character classes now, these were white mage female, fighter female.
I also forgot to add the back of the cat heads, will do that soon folks, i left that at original skin color, up to you to recolor it.
***
I'm getting paid to work on a tileset and sosme character sets so i will return to this project again guys.
I will upload some project pics to the screenshot thread soon.

Hi there! Used to work on the tykes with you, glad to see you're still here.
Just tried out this template, not really my favourite but it's still pretty cool. I prefer the smaller ones.
Anyways, here's what I made: A guy in a strange purple robe, not quite my best since I haven't been pixeling in a while.
Probably not gonna finish it so if anyone wants to do it go ahead.

Nice one, you should have set the hair line lower though, check out character on the sig for an example there.
Always glad to share any temps i make, i can send you the newest version of the tyke (Little Tyke) if you want it too :grin:
I'm back folks, the other project did not work out so on we go.

The side frame was a big pain to work with, And i wanted a smaller body and head.
Template still sprited in the same look but i remade it from scratch, it is smaller and has better proportions.
The rtp is still on.
Till next time!
E-Remember folks, no comments on this thread.
I will open a new one after a time.
