The VG Resource

I have a day off school today, and I got bored of playing halo.
So guess what I did! I decided to try to sprite again!
The sheet is attached.
Unlike the sprites for that Sheegoth that I posted a bit ago, these are not a year old, and I did them in about 10 minutes.

The Zoomers in each column are the same zoomers, but their hues have been shifted. The way that the zoomers differ per column is that I recolored their spikes before I changed the hues. (So all three columns are actually the same zoomer with the same hue change, but each column has differently colored spikes.)

Note that I haven't made any sprites for them moving.

EDIT: These were supposed to be able to be used near super Metroid sprites, but I don't think that that's working out right now.

I think it should have more contrast and a bit dark (Super Metroid has dark sprites). Also You could use less colors on it.

The spikes look weird colored like that. It looks like some glowy thing. Use less saturated colors.

EDIT: the sprite's kinda pillowed. Fix that using an lightsource above it.

Okay, I did a pretty quick fix, so it shouldn't be perfect.
I didn't feel like bothering with all the columns, so I just forgot about 1 and 3. I'll ressurect them later If i need them.

I specifically worked on the spikes and the brightness

Well, place a Samus that would be best-in-style next to it, and then we can make a better comparison for it. To see if it's "in style" or not.

Otherwise, I'd recommend a little less contrast between the colors (bright needles and dark bodies) and get the whole thing at least a bit closer in colors than they currently are.

Well, that's my two cents.

Okay.

So, I have a small sheet that has SM Sprites and my Sprites
I redid that zoomer that I posted earlier, and I think it looks MUCH better, but in my opinion, IT HAS TOO MANY COLORS!!!
I tried to fix the pillow shading factor.

I don't think I have quite gotten a SM-style sprite quite yet (due to the colors). It looks kinda outta place to me.

Any better?

Try another style, then. Maybe it'd be better for something like a Metroid Prime 1 2D project, or perhaps a MP3: Corruption Geemer? Anyway, the best one there is the Re-Do, but perhaps you'd do good to balance it with a bit of the third (left-to right) revamp. Somewhere between those two would be a nice sprite. At least, shading-wise. Palette-wise, who knows?
