I got bored while working on a Signpost Sonic Head, but I ditched it and made this instead:

Checkpoint:

Frog Badnik:
Original Frog Badnick by Hezman.

Random Monitor:


C+C please.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much dithering
on everything

Dithering kills, stop killing.
Please!

Sonic has hardly any Dithering. How does he look?

better than the rest, but there's a blinking pixel when Sonic blinks, near HIS right ear

Good eye! I missed that xD. So you guys think they'd look better if their was no dithering?

yes

eye looks pillowed, parts that should be rounded aren't, banding.

I've never been good with defining looks, however, to make the sahdes look better I'd probably have to add more shades do you think?

No, don't do that. Reduce the banding first.

What is banding? I've never really understood it.

it's when you shade following the outline's shape. Don't do that because it's as bad as pillowshading.

When you pillow shap, it looks bad, try using some shading tutorials, that's what I did and it's been working out for me very well.

I don' reallyt get the terms you just used. I don't know many terms of sprites. Think you could explain it clearer?
