[New Joker Sprite!]Back into Spriting!

Hi I have decided that I would try out spriting again. I left spriting for a year, or so, and now I am back! Well sorta I am real busy so I can only sprite stuff sometimes. Anyway, here are my sprite attempts using the new BR Template:

Simon[from my failed game]:


Joker[From Batman: The Dark Knight]:



Yes I do agree eyes are a bit weird, and I forgot his chain, but I'll fix it up later.

Next Sprite: Two Faced and Batman.(Yes I decided to make a game.)

haha that was cute.

No, he meant that the hair lacks depth. He wasn't telling you to go with a different hairstyle. To give the hair some depth it's good to create a little "halo" with your highlight shade. Here's an example I did, keep in mind that characters are my weakness.

Oh ok, I see. Thank you much! Let me try it again

Edit: Sticking to the head eh? Ok Let me fix that to.
 
Yeah the hair's pretty messed up, it may have worked for the OLD Breeze, but the new one takes a lot more detail and effort. So here's how I go about doing it:
1.

Draw your outline. Make sure to not draw right on the template,you want the top of the hair to be one pixel above the scalp, so that it doesn't look flat. Also make sure not to draw the bottom of the hair too high up(I see people doing this all the time x_x) it should be just above the eyes(unless it's really short hair, in which case use your best judgement).

2.

Next step is defining where your strands of hair are gonna be. Now, you're not gonna draw EVERY strand, rather you're gonna do it in chunks that flow the same direction as hair would(you'll see what I mean in a second if you don't get it). Anyway, draw the little cross in the upper right of the hair where the hair starts to grow, and draw just the little ends of the lines that are gonna be the strands.

Now draw the rest of those strands you just started, pretty easy, just connect the little ends you made to that cross that the hair grows from.

Shading! This shouldn't be too hard, I'm assuming that you should be able to do this without much explanation, though if you're having a hard time just check out my example.

And finish it up! Add he halo of light to give it more depth and seem less flat, shade the outline, and shade under the hair. Again, this is easy stuff so you shouldn't really need it explained but if you need help that's why I use example pics :D

Hope that at least helps a bit ^_^

Yeah, That looks a lot better.

As for the shading, it looks fine. The only thing i don't like is the huge black circle under him, but that is how the temp. is suppose to be

I gotta say its better than my first shot, bro.
Well it's not my first. It's my first since a very long time ago when I was able to sprite.
I forgot how to do it =(. so I got to learn all over again.

Go ahead, it's 99% yours so once you erase the misplaced pixels you'll get the exact same thing anyways, so I dun see why not ^_^

kk!
