Nice design...but your line work needs improving and don't pillow shade :P

 

[bojox3m]

whats piilow shading?

 

[Showkaizer]

Pillow shading is when you just darken the outline of the sprite and go lighter into the center. It makes the sprite really flat.

 

[bojox3m]

wow a post from Kaiser himself! (hello idol nyehehe)

i did get the point. i think my shading and pointy hairs needs improving. ill post my new sprite later :P

 

[bojox3m]

BUMP!

 

[Malachi]

pillow shading...something I'm still guilty of XD

Nice tyke2's. The hair of the first one looks wierd. The second one's hair is alright, but instead of copying the RTP of it, remake it.

 

[bojox3m]

haha! you got me there. you must be very good. XD

and yesh, i copied the hair of an rtp char. for Yiell XD

 

[Mascarpone]

something really simple to do that will help all of those is make sure that all the frames are lined up on the right axises. As they are right now they animate wonky because they knock back and forth by a pixel each frame. Also the guy w/ cloud's hair (yes its cloud's hair don't deny it) doesn't bounce at all on his back walk, he just kinda hangs there and it looks painfully unnatural. Just shift him down a pixel on the middle frame (I'm pretty sure thats the fix, I'm not a spriting wizard)

wehehe! i never denied it in the first place lol XD yeah.. you're right.. i need to edit those.. *grumps*
