Spriting Paraphernalia

[terramaster]

Well, I'm trying to develop my skills as a sprite-er and was wanting input from you more experienced peoples.

I wanted to try some sort of muscular character in armor, as an ally or a lackey for the main villan. The armor is coming out a little duller than what I would like personally but adding a shine with the liter colours (I am Canadian) is just hearsay.

Also, I like the top better, and the pants do not follow suit because I did them first.

Any advice?

ssssstraight ramps.

The big problem I see here is with your colors. You have dark grays and light grays and then white. Things would look a lot kore realistic if you used color, even in the grays. Use cooler, bluer and purpler, shades for the darker colors. This is a great general art tutorial that will explain it in better (and illustrated) detail.

Well, I can at least use the shading for an easy recolour. I think I'll try a bit more on the RTP before tackling the Half-Kizer.
