My first HKCP Sprite (WIP)

[Tachiba]

Hello everyone!  I decided to try to take on sme spriting.  Mainly in the HKCP style. I just started, but I wanted to see what some people thought about it. Feel free to be as harsh as you want, but dont you dare flame.

I made the hair and clothes.



Description:  I'm planning on making a few African-American Sprites, since I noticed that there are barely any here.  This one is simply an African American male who's shirtless, has his underwear showing, and his pants down to his feet.  I'm still working on the shoes.  I'm trying to make them Jordans.

Use the imgzoom tags please.
Also on looking at it. I'd say that the hair has no shading and the legs are pillow shaded.
You need to determine where your light source is coming from, most cases above and slightly to the left.
Doing this there should be only highlights on the pants where light actually makes contact.
This is hard to understand maybe but you have to think in 3d.

Also some folds in the pants can help, "less-borify" them

If no one else posts any comments I'll make a detailed post for you when I have more time today.

I added the image into your post; linking offsite to see an image is kind of a chore for critiquers.

Anyway, Berserker's comments seem dead-on, I don't think I have anything to add
