My two cents about how the colors are working together is that he kind looks too shiny and round.. like a plastic toy.
When he should have more of a dull or flatter wood feel.

I know it's odd for me to say this kind of thing but I believe it would overall make it fit in style more.

So that would mean I have to change my wood pallet a little bit more?

It'd be helpful if we had a M&L3 palette like our M&L:SS tutorial on the site...

Unlike the GBA, DS games aren't really bound by color limits - so BIS really doesn't have a viable palette. You have to either get creative or combine colors from existing sprites/backgrounds.

Which wood pallet you think is good for Geno? Pallet number 1 or 2?

I like 2.

yea 2 has a more woodsy feel in the darker brown.

Here is what I came up with the new idle. For this idle, should I stretch the legs and the feet a little bit or just leave the animation as the way it is?

"OH YEAH, TIME TO BOOGY!!"

The idle looks to energized for someone like Geno. He should have somewhat of a serious idle. I made an edit to illustrate my point.



Maybe if you don't want to hide the hands, make him cross his hands.

That is a much better idle. Not perfect, but on the way.The cape flow still needs some direction as well.

I just changed the idle starting pose for Geno.


Instead of making Geno move his fists in a circle, would it be better if I make Geno move his fists up and down very slowly? While Geno move his fists up and down slowly, this would show his slow breathing animation.

I think Geno is calmer than that, honestly.

Yeah, I'd imagine a "I'm too chill to guard, because I don't care." kinda' pose.

Think Clint Eastwood. Keeps himself covered up until it's time to shoot something in the face.

Hmm.. does this idle look serious on Geno?
