The VG Resource

shade more inside, you seem to be shading the outline, which gives a flat rendition to the pokémon.

I tried to do what chris2balls said and I slightly mess around with the contrast and saturation.



All I can say is that I am perfectly pleased with how the palette came out, maybe because this is how I originally wanted it.

some of the shading might not make sense but I don't know how serious it is for it to matter.

EDIT:

I'm confident enough to say it's pretty much finished.

As you can see, this is an early WIP of a Hi-Res stereotypical "man" with big guns and a lot of used steroids, kind of like the ones you'd see in a action film.

Things I plan on tweaking:
-The chest, it looks like he has a boob on his left side.
-His chin needs to be straightened out
-The back might need to be fixed a tad.
-Eventually, I will get to the hands and add detail

you all know the drill go go go.

I actually wasn't planning on taking it this far, but I might reconsider at this point.

Lol, I'd hope not. But when werking on sprites you need to have references, a little on the gay side or not. 0.o um... yeah.

I was being sarcastic there bud, I know what you mean though

uhhh anyways, re-looked at everyone's advice, and I improvised:

Slightly stylized the anatomy since being completely realistic would make it a tad dull.
And I change the gun again to a tommy.

So, it's gonna have neanderthal arms? I dunno, tbh it would look better if it was a human, but, okay.

i have the impression i'm looking at a melted figurine. :/


the crotch is far, far too low. maybe around hand level but definitely no lower. the legs look really mangled: basically, you need a reference.

The arm is way to long, and the forearm is to short.

It should look more like this:

With everyone's recent advice and some self criticism, I decided to redo some areas of the piece.


most notably the arms and the tommy gun (Because I realized I fucked up in the last one.)

also some muscle detail.

He's got quite the refined adominal structure and large shoulders, but lacks in many other areas, especially traps. His legs are far too short for his body, and seem quite chubby (instead of muscular due to lack of definition) compared to his cut torso. I'd suggest looking at some reference for this. Keep up the good work though, I'm enjoying the face and look forward to seeing the rendering process once this is all fixed! Good luck man!

What style are you going for exactly? Realistic or cartoony? I feel as though you yourself don't know.
If you want to take the realistic side, you really need to look at some references. ( <--- Broken Record)
But a more cartoony approach can withstand over/under exaggerated characteristics. A giant upper body can have a very small loower body. It's all about what you're going for. Look around for some styles you would be interested in and try to emulate them in your own art

Reference should be used regardless of the sprite being stylized or realistic, or atleast that's my opinion..
