I'm sure some of you remember this.

It's not much, but do you think I should bring it back? It was quite fun to sprite the last time.
holy shit i remember this and loved it. continue pls ~
though, marios body is a bit too wide. maybe shrink it by a pixel or 2. and pls save it in png format, its sorta compressed. im also curious if youre actually going to make this within NES limitations
Not going for NES limitations, and Minus.com fucked it up somehow, ugh it always does this and pisses me off.
i feel like using the yellow-ish shade for highlights on his hat and arm is too much
EDIT: also that was a great use of my 1,000th post good job me
gonna agree with crapy
the lighter shade on the hat ends up mostly just blending with the white circle even at 2x (and 2x is practically required if you want players to be able to make out his teeth)
on his arm, the lighter shade ends up looking like he's wearing short sleeves (which is totally cool by me so whatever)
maybe also outline the bottom of his chin to make that stand out better, too
I like everything else though
the attitude!
the stockiness (the width that recme said to get rid of lol)!
the strength of the pose!
yeah though, i'm going to agree with kitsu agreeing with me because i love this sprite aside from the highlights
the expressiveness of both the face and the body are incredible and i can't wait to see where you go with this, animation-wise
Maybe make his body 1 pixel thinner, and make his legs 1 pixel longer? Just a suggestion.
I won't be convinced the highlights are bad, but I did fix blending with the white circle by removing some. I made the highlight on his arm feel more natural by giving the shirt it's own shading as well. Since making his body pixels thinner ruined his pose completely, removed some from his crotch area to make his legs show more/seem slimmer.

I guess I'll keep working on this then.
I feel like he's not red enough, he looks like his clothes are orange instead
A reputation of -13? Considering how you act now, I honestly don't see why you would ever deserve it.
I guess time has that effect, huh?
wow, talk about a blast of ass from the past.

because what do you do when someone's not listening to your criticism? you make fun of them for it! that always gets your point across and totally doesn't make them feel inadequate and resentful.
you and many other members (including me) lived through this kind of harsh feedback and improved, so it's not like it doesn't serve its purpose, but it's such a rude way of critiquing people. i'll never support it.

I guess old habits die hard
You mean the one highlight in the sprite that I used on his hat, right?
And yeah, looking at those posts makes me wonder why I stuck around in the first place. In fact it makes me hate half of this forum again pretty much instantly and question my existence here entirely after the abuse I took in every thread I pretty much posted in.
But only for a second, huu huu~
I will say though, mario looks orange because of the highlight. Try making a version without highlights, just to see what happens.
