some kind of WIP OC thing - plazinsky - 03-13-2010

The proportion and shading is way off here probably, and I'm not even done shading it. if you have anything that can help me make this not suck, post it and don't be afraid to hold back.

The hair looks akwardly pointy and blocky. Is it supposed to be shaped like that?
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - plazinsky - 03-13-2010
it's supposed to look like that but if it's a major problem i'll change it to something more realistic looking

Proportion's not an issue, it's the pose. It's quite awkward. The arms are squashed against the body, the feet hesitant and the smile sloping downwards, aswell as the shoulders being slightly hunched; maybe this is the trait you want to convey, but I don't know where you're going: what is this character's personality like, his temperament? Once you've got this you can work on the pose, and the shading. Putting a lightsource in a particular place can change one's feeling of the character, emphasising on what aspect or another (classic stick a flashlight under face conveys a sinister aspect of a person's face).
You need to show what you're aiming for, make more progress, so that we can understand how to help you precisely.

actually that is a good thing to say because sugarcoating doesn't help anything

the shoulders look a bit uneven, though it could be the arms throwing me off. the arm closer to us seems tucked behind him and thus makes the shoulder closer to us look way bigger than the one away from us.

Ha...I tested you. I said that just to see it you'd worry more about a little thing I said more than the topic's sprites. It works...
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - triptych - 03-14-2010
bullshit, backpeddling doesn't mean you're suddenly exempt from being a distinguished gentleman
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - Iceman404 - 03-14-2010
Whatever man...Stop replying to me, hint hint, I don't like you...
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - Baegal - 03-14-2010
how about both of you stop replying and help the guy with his sprites
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - Iceman404 - 03-14-2010
The darkest shade on the hair should be used much less to me.
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - plazinsky - 03-15-2010
I really have no idea how to shade. I'm looking at some pixel art tutorials, but damn, they're vague. So what do you mean it should be used much less? Like, the middle shade should be dominant?
RE: some kind of WIP OC thing - Baegal - 03-15-2010
basically

If it's an OC, then draw/shade it however you want, although it helps to first look at other sprites and decide what direction you want your style to go.
