Top vs. bottom.

o. fixed that already. also, the eyes have been edited.

now his eye flows onto the nose ;-)

The far feet doesn't really look as if it was behind him. Try making it darker and/or make the front foot longer or try to show that he has legs.

attempt 1: showing he has legs plus feet have changed in size

I have an idea, make the box 6 pixels taller, and give him a longer leg with this extra space.

done. what next?

Longer arms to match the new proportion.

also part the legs a little bit, he looks very stiff as if a light breeze would knock him over.

the arms are now 1 pixel longer

---

legs are now slightly separated

I am here now . Ummm. I'll go by the newest sprite.

-His gullet should be reduces by one pixel.
-Overalls are looking a bit purple.
-There is a line going over his eyes
-His pupils are looking huge
-you don't space out legs by adding a black line.
-the spot on his hat should be shrunk down by one pixel.
-make his head one more pixel higher.

Also, great job. Compare this sprite to your older Mario sprite. A lot of improvement.

-His gullet should be reduces by one pixel.
-There is a line going over his eyes

Please tell me what exactly you mean by those

Since I'm feeling somewhat obliged to help, click this link.

Next time please google things you don't know before you ask questions like these, it will save the effort for us to actually explain our points harder than we need to just because you can't understand what we are saying. thanks.

also far as the line going over his eyes I'm going to assume that's a part of the nose, but honestly I think you need to put some selective outlining on the sprite itself for the sake of readability. which would help quite a bit.

I figured out what a gullet was by searching on Google after i asked the question...
I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Mr Popo
plus i already made the edits.

Fast Edit:



That eye crippling pants color is annoying to work with.

There I fixed all the problems I stated in the sprite. Asides from the color. I have commissions and orders to attend to, so I couldn't do all of the needed adjustments. I fixed the sprite a lot. Poses, shape, and proportions.

I didn't really touch the hat. I might do it later...

I wont mind if you worked off of my example but it would not help you improve at all. My example isn't best but it's a rough edit of what the sprite should be looking like in it's current stage. Fix all the problems then Add 8 or less colors for shading. Your sprite should consist of 16 colors in total.

He looks more like Mario than a 'middle aged man'. (Get it? XD)

I'm sorry if my comments confused you. In my house hold gullet is the throat area. (It leads to the stomach so I thought you would know what I was talking about).

that's okay Mario, he's just telling you that you should look up regular things like that on the internet, so that you can know what they are without having to ask.
(to be honest I never even heard of the term gullet myself lol)
