2x Sprites and what-not

[Blazefirelp]

I got bored while working on a Signpost Sonic Head, but I ditched it and made this instead:

Checkpoint:

Frog Badnik:
Original Frog Badnick by Hezman.

Random Monitor:


C+C please.

[Vipershark]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much dithering
on everything

[2+D]

Dithering kills, stop killing.
Please!

[Blazefirelp]

Sonic has hardly any Dithering. How does he look?

[Gors]

better than the rest, but there's a blinking pixel when Sonic blinks, near HIS right ear

[Blazefirelp]

Good eye! I missed that xD. So you guys think they'd look better if their was no dithering?

[Vipershark]

yes

[Blazefirelp]

[Gors]

eye looks pillowed, parts that should be rounded aren't, banding.

[Blazefirelp]

I've never been good with defining looks, however, to make the sahdes look better I'd probably have to add more shades do you think?

[Mabelma]

No, don't do that. Reduce the banding first.

[Blazefirelp]

What is banding? I've never really understood it.

[Gors]

it's when you shade following the outline's shape. Don't do that because it's as bad as pillowshading.

[2+D]

When you pillow shap, it looks bad, try using some shading tutorials, that's what I did and it's been working out for me very well.

I don' reallyt get the terms you just used. I don't know many terms of sprites. Think you could explain it clearer?
