This must show you how to shade without using dithering so much, and dont worry about the temrs.

Ahh, Thanks. That helped!

Another one, this time, I edited it.

JPEG'd.

BAH, Stupid Photobucket BMP = Jpeg shit.

Hey, that's pretty good.

whats with the out of control contrast going on that picture. there is barely any difference between each shades of gray and blue

but the chest went from pink to dark red in just two steps.

also there are so many jagged lines and poor attempts of antialiasing going on there... you said this is just a redrawn 2X sprite?

those are the exact colors used in the original sprite
all he did was clean up the shading to fix the 2x size
the contrast isnt his fault, that's how it actually looks in the genesis games

Okay, Taking your advice. I got rid of most of the weird pallet colours and replaced them with what I thought looked ok, Plus some fixed here and their.

Also the Original :

Improvment?

Yeah I see some improvement in the colors of the belly, and the fist seems less bright in the end of the glove.

there is hardly any improvement you could do from what already ok.
all in all is just a redraw/edit of an original sprite.

Remove the thickass outlines and pillowing within.

Did some random edits for my project

Not much but what do you think "Butterfly especially" ?

what did you edit actually? i dont see any changes at all.

Recoloured eggman statues, Reshaded the BirdBadnik, Reshaded and edited the butterfly badnik "Added spike to it too" Completely reshaded the Plane, edited some of it and finally Reshaded the Rockets.
