USE THE EDIT BUTTON

also the sprites look the same

Sorry didnt know about that wait what do you mean about the sprites looking the same.

You just did it again. one more time and you'll get a warning, its annoying.
He means you didn't even change anything

I changed the colors and fixed the hands its subtle but there are differences. Sorry I'm new at this. I just joined yesterday. I need more reviews of the sprite sheet, I actually want to put it on the spriters resource. What should I do?

Okay, first off, They aren't too bad, but they do look kinda crappy, I wouldn't use them. (Not saying that any of mine actually look good[Even though I don't have many to speak of anyway], I'm not exactly good at spriting either, and I am also kinda noobish.)
But for some reason their noses look "pinnochio"ish to me.
And also, when we say that all the posted sheets look the same, that is exactly what we mean. The sheets don't look at all different. Maybe you should post a sheet that has a few example sprites from each sheet so that they can be compared easily, or point out what you changed, or do both!

Secondly, as the others said before, this isn't an instant messenger. You can't expect people to be online, and just ask if they are or not. This is pretty much the rule for any forum.
>>>Specifically, lots and lots of really short/one word/one sentence posts is a bad thing. It gets really annoying to try to sort thru all those. Just post what you wanted to and wait at least a few hours or so and do something else in the meantime. That way your posts can have more "meat" to them if you know what I mean (In essence your posts are a little more developed).

It gets really annoying, and is kinda hard on the eyes. Just type what you wanted to in a simple format, as if you were typing a paper for school, but maybe not as official/proper.

And welcome, even though I'm not much of a welcome wagon considering I just joined a bit ago (though I have used this place for a while.)

Sorry if this post comes off as a little harsh, I'm not trying to be.

EDIT: If you really do want to submit this sheet, go here. Make sure that you submit it under the proper company. Remember that submitted sheets should be final.

Thank you I think that was really helpful. The noses are supposed to be long though. I need to leave now.

Agreed, but he's not the one doing it. If you accidentally double post (or in Quizzle's case, purposefully quadruple post), the board will automatically combine the two posts and will add a <br> (with brackets instead of arrowheads) in between the two (or, four) posts.

I don't mean to burst your bubble here, Quizzle, but this sheet is not ready to be submitted (so don't take it to the submission forum!). Firstly, the sprites themselves need a lot of improvement: The nose looks like it's glued on the side of his face rather than in the middle of it (or his eyes look like they are both on the same side); His feet constantly change size and shape while walking; His legs bend backwards (ouch!) while walking; There's no discernible light source, so you need to pick one and shade it accordingly (and up the contrast for shaded areas); you need to un-pillow-shade almost all of it (pillow shading means only darkening the outside lines rather than shading in an attempt to make an actual shape).

Thanks,TwilightSamus.
ALSO custom sprites can no longer be submitted to TSR unless they are good enough
These aren't good enough.

The reason that he has lines in his posts are because he posts over and over quickly. When more than one post is done, they are merged together with that line. As you can see, he does like 8 posts consecutively and it

edit- ARGH POST TIMES

Wow, i realize that these sprites really really stunk!

Here is a comparison with all the fixes I made the new ones are on the left. FYI: I wasn't purposefully quadruple posting I'm new here i really like this website and I wont quadruple post any more. Oh and I just fixed the quadruple posting by editing the lines out.

It's better, but the nose still looks stuck on the side of his face. Also, his face is still really pillow shaded; you never changed that. Here's a quick edit I did to show you kind of what the nose would look like in its proper position and shading (for the most part, at least; it was done quickly).

You got the cross eyed Mario. the other one is the new one. In the other one i think I fixed the pillow shading.
Wait, should I just use the same color pallet you did to make the other sprites better? Well, I guess I will I need to leave now. Thanks for your help.

as OmegaKyogre said, your sprite is severely pillowed. The colors are boring and lacks contrast. You should hueshift when shading, too. Also, get rid of that colored outline, or use a black one (Make sure not to outline inside the sprite, though). The Bros' hands are too blocky, and Mario's body looks really weird.

And where's the brim on their caps?

Aside from that, you made a good attempt. Keep improving on it

I agree on everything here, but perhaps the colored outline is part of the style? Not that it doesn't need improving, of course, either way.

Also: Yes, your edited one is much better and removes most of the pillow shading on his head. It still looks like you only used two colors for the skin part of his face, so it looks pretty flat. Also, his overalls aren't shaded at all. Add some more colors to shade with (and don't forget the hue shifts, as gorsal mentioned). Definitely round out their hands.

Their noses are still problems.

the background color burns my eyes

just make it white

Ok I fixed everything I think. Here are the new Marios and the Old ones too.
