Joxon sprites things but only sometimes - Joxon - 09-14-2016

oh hi- It's been a while

(Unused colours were from a failed body attempt)
I've been working on this head for a few weeks and can't satisfy myself
help
I might've just been staring at it too long but I dunno. This character head is the reason I've posted nothing
(That and laziness)

Replying to this first because I enjoy it the most. The run cycle itself is clean and readable, so no gripes there. The face being static seems like an issue though. While it's fine if you don't want to make the head move towards the camera and back, the hair should probably animate a little bit to give the overall effect of movement. Study how other games with capless hero's handle their heads and see if you can come up with something similar! Great job so far though! I've included some examples below that illustrate the importance of hair.

The body looks great! Again, pretty readable, especially considering it's such a small sprite. The different style of colour is a nice change from your last piece as well. My only real criticism is that the camera facing arm and hand look a bit off, or that it's throwing off the bodies shape. Perhaps positioning the arm closer to the camera will help this? Sorry I don't have more specific advice, perhaps later I can work on an edit.

Does the forum have a zoom function like pixelation? Liking the ganon sprite btw.

Edit: Why so much blue in this last palette?

EDIT 2: If anyone bothers to look here again don't say anything, I'm redoing it again because I have a different concept

I gave her a fighter outfit (bottom), she's not stupid enough to run around fighting with her belly out as a weak spot

That's Shantae's job.

These are coming along really well! I've noticed you're gaining a better understanding of color choice - your palettes are better than ever.
