Needs criticism. And advice on how to fix it up. I do plan on finishing the entire sheet.

Thanks all.

He looks like his head and legs and facing backwards and the rest of his body looks like its facing forwards...

 

[Samboy]

Hmm. How do you think I could rectify that? I know what you mean, though.

I personally find it hard to sprite the back myself. ^^;; I would shade in the parts were the middle of the back and shoulder blades would be. Sorry I can't explain it better but kinda follow the shading on the template. n_n;;;

Updated and cleaned up first post. FYI, this soldier is for my new/old rejected and picked up again project, Le Mal. If anyone wants other sprites done for this game, let me know. Inspiration runs dry after a while.

EDIT: I added the shadow under the helmet, which may give a sense of depth to help with the dilemma mentioned above...

Yeah, I'll try that. I got rid of them because of the binocular straps on his back. Thanks for the input.:D

I take it this is for the GRTP hence the minimal color shading, but even so I say the main thing you need to work on here is the contrast . There doesn't seem to be enough between the color values and it makes the sprite look really flat .

 

[Samboy]

Yeah, I'll try to fix that. I wasn't actually planning on submitting this to the GRTP, but i'm sure I can do that if enough people like it. Thanks SK!

UPDATE AGAIN!

I think the biggest problem is that you seem to be painting colors on, not building clothing around the template form. Either that or he's wearing Skin-Tight holiday Saran Wrap, the kind that comes in all those bright colors?

Seriously though, The clothing looks too skin tight and I think that just comes from you recoloring the skin. Drapery Studies for the win here.

However the poses are pretty good, although ever so slightly wooden.
