-Practice- kaizer (not hk)

[freakofnature]

Hey peeps, haven't been spriting anything all this time but i thought i'd try to get back into it again, as i looked through some saved materials i came across the older kaizer temp and thought why not, nothing too special here but i want to see what others think about it anyway, i'll probably try a full character soon..

Man...that makes me so jealous.

His head under the band should be shadowed, you have it with the lightest face color.

The way the bottom of the face is shaded + the area between the eyes, kinda looks like the mouth area is convexed to the point where it looks like a mask.

The first fold on the pants could probably go in a pixel or so. I mean where the pants come out.

Add another dark shade lining to the pockets to make them stand out more.

You might want to take the mid region of the belt, and expand it one pixel up, so it can match the sides.

Contrast the line in the back of the head a bit more.

And, why are his pants unzipped? O.o What has he been doing?

Damn FoN, your getting better. Uhm I'm only gonna say to give the shading on the chest a bit of a tidy, there are some random pixels, mainly darker ones, that stand out to much in light areas. That's about all I can thin of that J didn't say. So nice sprite man, it's great.

The shading looks abit grainy. Very nice sprite though.

This reminds me a bit of Terranigma for some reason... try to remake Ark ^_^
Well, it looks extremely good... keep up the good work!

Yep, just tone down the edges, and make them less dark so that they blend in with the rest of the body. We don't have dark edges, do we? (I tried to make it as politically correct as possible)

It's all good except for the hair. It looks like some kind of wrinkly clay hair. I'm not a pixel artist so I dunno how you'd go about fixing it, but fix it please. <_<

Thanks for taking the time to reply guys, i will see into all of these things right now

Lol unzipped, i think i added too light a color to that center area i will fix that up right quick.
I tried to create some scratch effects to the chest area but i will try to improve that for the better too, as well as tone down some darks a tad.
And i will see what i can do about the hair, ...maybe too much shadowing..

Ah and i've also made a note of that game terranigma, when i try to make a full character later on i will check it out.

well everybody's commented on all the things I was going to ..which is good, because I get to just say COOL! because you did a pretty good job on this even though the temp is obsolete and fugly lol. Nice work FON. I like the texturizing =)

 

[freakofnature]

Muchas gracias kaizer , yep the temp is not being used anymore that's why i kept it to one frame ^_^ , the next attempt i will use your hk temp instead.

Here are some fixes i've made, got rid of some darker pixels added a couple more here and there, and the hair has been improved, i think i got it all from what you guys said but if i missed something or if there's anything else let me know.
