8-bit sonic sprites (Updated 3/17/11)

[verifiaman]

Okay, so its not oracle. Is it at least decent?

[Rakia]

We're not trying to bash you.
I'm trying to help you understand what the style is, just TRY and fix them.

[verifiaman]

Only one person commented on the quality of the sprites, everyone just bashed my organizational skills. I just want to know if the sprites are decent. i don't care if you bash me i just want to know. And yes i know they don't fit the style i was going for, I'm changing the title of my post

[Rakia]

And I responded no, and I told you how to fix it, did I not? I never bashed you, I tried to help you, please stop whining.

[verifiaman]

Do you have any suggestions?

[Rakia]

Congratulations, you've bested me.

[verifiaman]

How did i do that?

[Rosencrantz]

he has no response, since he already said this:

The style still doesn't seem like Oracle.
First, he's WAY too big, his head is very chibi-esque. Some of the colours actually change between sprites.
Everything about it is too big. Besides the body, the feet are too big (not sure about this, since sonic has some weird feet..).
There's also absolutely no shading or AA, which the oracle sprites have on the inside.
Really, just look at the Link sprite as a base.

and I agree: having to make redundant posts is pretty annoying :<

*sigh*, I cant believe I'm doing this.

Also, please note that I have done very few 8-bit sprites in my day. So this is in no way perfect. Simply for demonstrative purposes. (Where is Iceman when you need him?)

if we thought it was decent, we'd tell you. you're entitled to ignore the feedback members give you, but take in count that it'll make members reluctant to help you. if you don't want help, but just a judgement on the sprite's quality, then you might as well move on to a different forum.

this thread is close to being closed due to OP's hard time accepting critiques.

I'll give this some more hours before taking the act. Try saving yourself.

Maybe you should learn the basics of 8-bit, style-fitting, and keeping a clean, convinient spritesheet before you make a thread where you dub all C+C as bashing yet continously ask for more.

EDIT: Hi Flying Monkey~

[verifiaman]

Sorry about that. What i meant was people bashing my organizational skills. I really didn't mean anything else. This is something new for me and i could really use help with it?

Well for starters I made you a sprite. Trying to show you what you did wrong, and how to improve it. And in all honesty I think you should scrap your sprites and start over. They really aren't decent enough to even edit off of. It would benefit you to redo them, with a new understanding. Granted that you HAVE a new understanding.

[verifiaman]

Wow, looking at that sprite I cannot believe how off i was on the palette and size.
