Sprite Duel -- STARPOWER vs RIDGE TROOPA: "M&L3 Showdown"

[Star]

Thank you all! I'm suprised alot of people like it. I have never made a sprite this big.

@available: Haha, I don't take it as offesence. That's what he looks like really. I laughed a few times at it.

@Ridge Troopa: Thank you, I kinda worried about your opinion the most. It might be too much..I can always reduce it down. It's still 22 colors though so woo!(didn't add a single color)
Also, I have a question for you. Would his other forms count as his overall pallete too? Like his Tank head will have alot of green..

[King of Bad Posters]

Hell yes!! I love Mario Rpg and seeing your sprites makes my whole day they are fantastic both of them look great keep them coming

If you consider the head and body a single sprite, then yes. Otherwise I'd suggest reducing your pallet...
In my honest opinion, I think you should aim for no more than 4 shades on that gray. It's just way too much. Put it next to a ripped boss sprite and you'll notice it immediately. Yes, it's amazing as is, but it's not in style.

Haha, if you think that's big... Just wait until you see mine.

[Star]

Thank you! Now I must find a better grey pallete in M&L3. I should be able to fit all those colors in that 31 pallete range if I reduce the grey..

And oh gosh. I can just imagine yours.
It's going to fit in both DS screens aosnfs

[available]

ridge do you have anymore besides the head done, if so please post what you have.

[Crazy Koopa]

Your choices would be limited to the Trash Can Robot, Dark Fawful, Caged Goomba Enemy, and the Treasure Chest Enemy if your looking for gray/grey.

[Star]

Yeah, which isn't much. Might just make my own.

[Ton]

I prefer Overworld #2, personally.

As for in-battle, maybe some sheen could be on the belly? It looks a bit plain. It might not work. Just an idea.
As for form 2, I agree that it has a bit too many colors, but if you can't make it work with fewer, don't freak out. It's a wonderful start. I especially can't wait for the Sledge attack.

EDIT: Oh, I see you already added a sheen to form 2's body. Never mind, then.

[theking]

star, when you done with this are you going to make more m&l3 styled characters? and i vote on you!!!

[Crazy Koopa]

Wait a minute, I just remembered.
Smithy 2 doesn't have any feet... for some reason... see:


Oh, now that I get a long look at it...
The eyes and teeth kind of look too far apart. That or the whole head it a bit too wide.

[Mecha]

hmm, looks super cool so far sp but.... looking at the original sprite, there's barely any room between the eye holes ya know? where as the custom has two finger's width :X I'd say just pull the head in a bit.

[Wes]

The second head is definately too wide.

[Star]

Thank you all for the C+C! I really appreciate it.
I pull everyone's critisim together and fixed them:

Metal pallete is reduced and head is fixed. Now um...can I continue on to animation or is there still something wrong? Oh and I fixed the way his face was facing too.

[Ape Overlord]

looking awesome so far

Wow, fuck. Yeah I looked over it. Don't think there is anything else wrong. You can probably start the animation.
