While I rest off this turkey.


Haven't used this method since I was making custom Nes DQ enemy sprites.

Ahh progress

Fix the noodle arm! Good to see you back

To elaborate on what Chris said, what I think he means is that you need to do something about the right arm (as in the character's right) of the girl. Since there aren't any humans in fiction who have a realistic body structure and rubber hose limbs at the same time, you age better off giving the arm a more angled bend instead of a noodle bend. Besides, it's not like you're trying to draw Olive Oil, so stay away from rubber hose limbs unless you want to create a sprite sheet of a more cartoonish character, such as Mickey Mouse.

Fixed the arm and I just realized, this robot bares some resemblance to this one.

Also took it off the black background.

The shading on the robot, I personally find it weird, but that's just my opinion. The girl's arm is a definite improvement.

Weird in what way?
My biggest problem are the hands. But I'm only trying to use 6 colors.

The codpiece needs to be a bit more exaggerated to replicate the reference pic, i think
Think that the problem with the hands are too parallel looking, try slanting a little.

Finished all my exams

andd Progress


wasn't sure about the blue bots leg so I have 2 takes on it.
The white mech is from metal storm

i moved the legs on the blue bot
made the white bot's arms bigger
made the small woman sprite have longer legs
added the other leg to the big woman sprite

you know what actually the big woman has pretty short legs as well might wanna make em longer too

The smaller sprite was supposed to be chibi-like, for the larger one I will make the legs longer as its supposed to be more realistic body-wise. But with her being a cartoon her proportions will be off, I think her head is to big for a normal person
Also the arms of the mech seemed small in the game sprite, I'll make them slightly bigger.

Meh I liked the original pose better, so I redid the pose.
Also fix girls legs and head was made pixel shorter

Moar

Just need to add the wings to the mech. And I took another old sprite and tried to make something of it.

if you ever wonder why I don't do alot of things that have clothing(at least those that aren't skin tight) look at his jacket, i hate folds

http://solfieri.deviantart.com/art/Cloth...-194453484 here's a nice folds tutorial

for that mech why not add some detail ?, you're using a much bigger size than the original but not expressing much more

I tried a little more detail with the mecha. Don't want to go overboard however.

Still struggling with the jacket. But I'm working on it


Rather than bumping heres some progress on the mech
I added more details


edit

I figure if I start multiple sprites I'll have something to go back on when I get bored of the other piece
