Okay, I think it sucks, but this is my first sprite ever. I used the Angel Female template.

The sprite is based of this:

All comments are appreciated. Please tell me what I could do to make it better.

Well first off, the pallete is far too dark. Second the clothes lack most of the detail that the reference has. The hair lacks an outline. And the sprites colours are generally off.

Apart from that I guess it's good for a first try. :thumb:

PS.

About time you posted it.

Not too bad.
Let me say one thing, though:
Hair. Casts. A. FUCKING. Shadow.

This is sort of a pet peeve of mine. It is also not a good thing to forget.
This rule also applies to the top - it should cast a slight shadow on the torso and arms.

The shading isn't too bad, but the hair could do with a little more highlight. Just a touch, though.
The shoes look a little strange. Add a highlight.

...And that's all for now. Great work for a first sprite.

Guild Wars Factions Assassin. Your sprite looks like she's retarded no offence though. Looks way different. But it's a good first sprite.

its the eyes. the eyes on that template are awful <_<..

i actualy like the first one better its less grainy.... maybe fine a happy medium between the 2 here.

What template is a good template? I chose that one because I thought that it looked realistic... All the other ones either have tiny bodies, are fat, extremily thin, or have no shading... I chose that template because to me it actually resembles a person.

Well, that's really a matter of choice.
Some choose Breeze. However, HK is recently gaining a lot of popularity, and it's pretty realistic.
Alternatively, you could make your own template, but I doubt you're at the stage to do that yet.

As to the sprite:
What the hell happened to the hair? It was fairly good, before. Reduce the saturation and contrast of the palette you're using there.

I wasn't quite sure what was bugging me about this sprite until I looked at it while listening to some creepy BGM from VX.

The huge 0 _ 0 eyes and lack of other facial features make it look creepy. Fix that.

Rofl. Sic, it's the template. Shall we recommend Half-Kaiser, or tell him to edit what is there?
