They look a bit flat and pillow-shaded. The hairbands (?) are flat, and lack shading. If it's there, increase your contrast.

 

[Kururu]

Yeah, these really look pillow shaded to me.

 

[Mascarpone]

Pillow Shading No Jutsu!

<sigh> try again grasshopper try again ~__~

 

[groudyogre]

Pillow shading?? How do i make them better? Do i have to use a wider selection of colours or what?

Take a look in ther projects form and find my list of games... i did some recolors of some naruto character sets from RMXP sets... i have screen shots of it... take a look... if you want me to recolor one for you i can and redo the hair so it looks like naruto's hairstyle i will... looks to me that your using shippuden characters anyway... hold on... brb... im gonna edit this in a few...

Edit:
Here it is... I did a quick recolor that you can get a hint of and maybe use...

Naruto Shippuden style... credit me if you use this one... i can send you some more just ask... i have a jonnin body for the blue and black outfit, I have Kakashi, A set of Jonin Heads, Ebisu, and more...
I only fixed the hair for the first set of each direction... just paste it into a paint program copy the head and paste it on the others...

[groudyogre]

his hair is way too poofy big

Yeah it is. It isn't shippuden either.

@Kale, i'm not sure i get what ur trying to say.

New versions of the sprites Uploaded.

EDIT: I know the hair isn't done btw. I couldn't get it to be dark AND look shaded properly, and if it goes much lightier it won't look like Neji.

 

[Alistor]

the issue i see is the head band... it's a flat line across the head. this example shows a headband that looks more realistic.

look at the difference between the head in the first frame and the head in the second frame. the first frame has a headband that makes it seem like the headband actually wraps around the head. the hair is also shaded differently, and looks more realistic. it's not the best, but it's an improvement you may be able to learn from.

Pillow shading is basically shading from the outside in with no consideration for lighting, cast shadow etc. just gradients from the edges inwards.

EDIT: Oops. My bad, sorry.

 

[uzumakishade]

[groudyogre]
