Template drawing the weapon from the side...

Please Critique these sprites... it would be much appreciated...
 
After the game is completed... i might just release the walking template... but that's what i'm thinking about releasing thus far... I'm putting some consideration into it... i have a few more poses to finish before i stop...
 
your sprites are excellent dude, you should seriously consider joining a team.

@Virtreous - he probably doesn't want you stealing his thunder...
 
****Another Update****

@ Virtreous - The public will be allowed to use all 5 templates once my game is nearly finished... I'll release most of the resources to the public. But it's a long way until I finish my game, Samurai Ragnarok. The team and I are currently putting together some surprises for the game... so...

@ Samboy - Thank you for the compliment

More sprites have been completed... the set is coming along fine...

A revised edited version of the character drawing his sword... :)

A side view battle stance...

A front view battle stance...

Once again, please give critiques... any words will help me improve upon my sprites... i'm trying to get better...
 
The side-view battle stance is interesting, but the character's right hand movement is just slightly awkward. I almost expect him to be playing a guitar or brushing dust off of himself rather than waiting for an opportunity to attack.

It might just be due to the difference in tempo between the hand and the leg movement. Usually, "waiting" battle stances have the whole body moving in a synchronized manner, so that when they attack or defend, all energy is smooth and focused into the hit or block.

But, maybe your character is nervous or inexperienced in fighting. In that case, the offset in movement is actually better.

I like the revised version of drawing the sword better. It's longer and more detailed.

Good work overall :)

The rearview kneel his legs are a bit squishy, in that they get shorter and thicker without showing that they're bending. Also, I'd expect we'd see more of his heel in the last frame.

The one facing away from us between the battle stances, I'm not entirely sure what its meant to be... Is it climbing? If so, his arms should be moving more up and down, rather than side to side. Also, his head should move.

The four swimming ones, I'd maybe want to see them bob up and down by one pixel every other frame.

For the Jump in the sideview, I'd want one frame of anticipation. That is one frame where he crouches before jumping. Also, when he lands, there should be a frame where his knees bend before he stands upright. The same should apply to the front view as well.

Its great work tho, and I look forward to seeing updates.

Leave Critiques and Crits... Which sprites do you feel is the best for the current art style and why...? Any opinions will be grateful... thank you...

I prefer the one on the left, as it looks celshaded, and matches the artwork better.

The one on the right, well the eyes look like he's got no pupils, or he's stoned or something. Despite having more shading than the celshaded one, it looks flat.
 
The one on the left looks better, though the black outline should be changed to a darker shade of the color it's next to. And you can sprite - you sprited the templates all by yourself, right? It just seems you're too timid to sprite anything more than greyscale.

The eyes on the first one should be more like the template's.

Keep it up, your artwork is nice and you animated your templates smoothly.
 
The one on the left is much better and I think matches it down pretty good as far as style goes. The one on the right looks incompleate to me. Plus since you have black outlines in your art work it'd be strange not to have those same outlines on the sprite. I like the look of the one on the left so much so it even looks good blown up like that. You could probably get away with enlarging them if you wanted to. When it's big like that it looks just like Xenogear's sprites. They really great. ^_^

The animations so far are turning out pretty cute. I especially like the one with the boo-boo. :D The swiming ones seem a little strange though because don't you have your body horizonal to the surface when swiming instead of vertical like that? Then there's one I can't seem to make out what he's doing... the one towards the middle that's facing back and kinda thrashing his arms and legs... Not sure what's going on. Anyways I'd have to say I really like how there's a ton of differnt animations you got here.

Oh and btw, Darksydaz did you ever get that poem I wrote for you? I'm not sure if you ended up seeing it after the hack again. Let me know if you didn't and I'll resend it to you.
