HK Sprite

...UPDATED SPRITE...

Hay guyz!

You've all seen my sprites good and bad....

But I spent quite a bit of time on this one, and I think it came out rather well ;D .

I only have problems with the hair, could someone link me to a good tutorial, like Tana's?

any way here the sprite and picture I based it off of-

Hmmm, I kinda' like it. I think you did an excellent job with the details but there's something off.... I think if you had heavier contrasting outlines it would look better. but the details are nicely done. I do think the hair could use a bit more shading. Let's see a completed spriteset!

Hmmmm... Wierd... I mean usually people eat up HK srpites...

did Tana remove her turtorial or something?

Oh and I don't plan on finihsing this :P, I just love spriting on large things ;D

Come on people get with the critisisms!

Nice spriting. Did you sprite the outfit and the hair from scratch like Tana or did you mixed and matched from various sources? I would love to sprite HK myself too but just don't have the "vision" to see the finished product and reproduce it from scratch. So I kind of envy what you did there. Very nice. However, the shading is kind of off. The hair seems too light. The arms too. You need more shading.

Actually I did it from scratch, I didn't even know there was any really good HK sprites that suit my style.

Do you really think it needs more shading? I though after shading it for like an hour it was enough. BUt hey we're all different  :cool:.

I think the shading is actually quite good, but the colours need more contrast. Check out some of the palettes Showkaizer uses in his sprites:

The only shading that doesn't look quite right to me is on the hair. It looks more like a hat or something, which is what I thought it was at first. (Silly me, looked at the sprite before I looked at the reference pic.) I can't think of any good hair tutorials off the top of my head, but I know there are some out there. There are some links in the Tutorials section. A good way of getting better at the hair is just to take a close look at somebody else's sprite and try to imitate it. Other than that, great job!
