The return of me trying different styles!
So, while waiting for critiques, I decided to have a go on Mario & Luigi : SS-Style again.
The subject is Dante, the main character on a GBC game I found called The Fish Files.
1x :

4x :

What do you guys think?
More random sprites of I. Considering I'm doing more than just the GBC, I kinda wish this thread was'wasn't named on GBC sprites only.
So,on with the sprites!
First, I have 4 Cars, In Superstar Saga-Style.

Second is a KSSU Gooey. Still a lot to be done to make a large enough sheet.

And Lastly, I'm making demakes for the fun. (Not actual games though, but there is software to make it. It just can't work with Linux at all.) SO, Top Gear 2. The SNES One. Yea.

I'm no expert in MLSS style, but the proportions for Dante definitely don't fit it. MLSS is usually soft-looking, very round, almost like a balloon. This guy is too stringy, even if that's what the character looked like originally; his shape would have to be exagerated and squished down to fit right. As for the shading, the bare areas are too thin to even be able to be shaded properly, and the clothes look like a 2-color pillow shade.
The (uncanny) revival of this thread!
Alrighty. On Dante in MLSS, I tried making him less stringy, but the pillowshade's still there.

Also, he's at a different angle (and WAY too tall) than the other sprites, so I'm going to have to remake it. >.<

Blatant edits!
Mario, in the older Pokemon games' style :

Also Archer Kirby From KTD :

And two things which are custom : A (verry bad) attempt at doing a Mario Kart sprite in GBC style, and also ULTRA MINI KIRBY. (And Quirby)

Interesting, but how about giving this a little more work? The biggest problem area I see is the mustache, which looks more like a black blob than an actual mustache. How about giving it a better shape, like the one Mario actually has?
The hat you gave Kirby does not match the style he is in very well. Maybe you could use the palette from the actual game and give the hat a better shape to rectify this? Also, I see a little bit of pillow shading in the hat.
