Okay so iv started a Sonic generation sprite but i just cant seem to get his hair or hands right. Id appreciate any advice

dont pillow shade, and make him face the camera a little. looking all the way to the right generally never works

okay so i see i have the position wrong so what about this ?

Not quite that much. Use the sort of angle you see in your avatar.

What do you mean by "old ones"? Not the ones in the first post, I hope.

no the one you just commented on and the one i just finnished

okay here is my new sonic

Well his fingers are really sharp and spaced out

and his mouth.. thingy.. that skin colored area around his mouth (whatever its called) is way too big,
its supposed to line up with his eyes I think

So would you recommend making the eyes bigger or the mouth smaller ?
and I will sort out the hands.

Make the muzzle (mouth area) smaller.

so like this ?

at the moment, this doesn't look like a sprite project, but rather a topic to fix sprites. will move to spriting & pixelart, as it looks more appropriate.

To be honest, I just want to get it fixed so I don't mess up later, but i see what you mean I'm spending way to much time on one sprite.

No,that's not what he meant,not even close to that,even.
What he's saying is that it's just a sprite,a project of yours,not something that needs to be a collaborative project,which is what the Sprite Project session is for.

As for the sprite,I'd remove the dark outline on the area that "connects" his eye to the muzzle.
His hands are also way too stiff and unnatural,I believe you're trying to make it look like how his hand look on the Generations model,but it's not very succesful as it is,make them mor natural.His porportion are also wonky,I know M.Sonic is meant to be tall,but you don't need to make an extra long body with tiny hands and feet for that,you can make his shoes a lot larger for example,that way he'll stay the same height,but with better porportion and without huge legs.
His face is odd too,the muzzle seems like it's rotated a bit up,while the rest of thead are in a normal position.
