CoolYoshi Wrote:Ok, FinalYoshi and Starpower, have already made Whomps, FinalYoshi's Whomps look exactly like this one but they are way more detailed, and in style. You can try to submit it but first it needs: Some shading in the body. Could use way more spots, and put a point of light on the gloves. The walking has no movement at all, it looks like the pixels are shifting up but not the shoes. And the body needs to move with it, also need more colors, on the body itself, the mouth is okay, but the body looks like a large rectangle. It needs to be improved a lot! But nice first try! Here is the M&L tutorials for help http://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/tut/ml-overpage.png

COMMENTS, IN ORDER OF COMPLAINTS

1. Links to the other sheets? I've never seen them.
2. I added more spots, and it looked weird.
3. There IS a light source on the gloves.
4. The body moves to the left and right as it walks.
5. Um, it's grey. It doesn't have much color.
6. A Whomp basically IS a large rectangle.
7. I did use the tutorial.

I'm only saying this because the feet are outlined in grey...
Did you use a pic as a reference?

CoolYoshi Wrote:Here is FinalYoshi's Whomp http://pixeltendo.net/index.php?showtopi...entry90849 I was trying to help you, I meant by points of light, put it on the gloves. And a little more color would make it fir the style, it needs shading, and proper AA. Look at Finalyoshi's for ref. These are comments to help you. And I even said I like your work.And what I meantby more spots, look at the rock buzzy beetle made by Parakoopa http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintend...eetles.png and also about the walking motions, make the whomp come alive, fix how the feet and bidy move. So fix those things and we will see what other things need to be adjusted.

Cshad Wrote:Cool yoshi, honestly, you made it look worse, and juding by the color choice you used and the way you shaded it, you dont know anymore about M&L than this guy, so really, shut up.

Now, for the original sprite, you have no depth, or shading which is your main problem. The light scource comes from above the sprite, use mario for reference. Now, your tecturing is quite random, try something more simple, as it appears you cant texture quite yet. If you choose instead to pursue it, try looking up tecture bodies to use as refernce for this. Also, be sure to keep a solid (or near black) outline throughout the entire sprite to ensure its more m&L style. If you just beginning, this style isnt for you.

The teeth look gradient, instead of using lines, use a trick called aa to mold the teeth to the black. Tecturing doesent need to go on the hands either.
