Novally's Sprite Thread (C+C needed!)*

[Novally]

all the pallets other than his hat and shirt were taken from Capcom Vs Snk 2 sprites (just mentioning). Thank you for your comments, they will go towards future work!

[Novally]

Some chibi sprites, C+C please. I kind of hate how I made the shirt so tight.

Edit/Update:

[Xeroph]

Looks great but the hat stretches out to far to the left.

[Novally]

I'll relax the hat when I'm done napping. Thanks!

his right foot (our left) looks a bit odd. maybe it is the foot. his face should be a little longer. it also looks like he has no hands.

[Novally]

Still a work in progress but I will fix the foot and the hands thing I'll try my best to emulate them.

I think the (our left) foot needs to be more pointed to us, just a bit.

[Novally]

I will do that.

[Xeroph]

The hat needs more detail.

[Novally]

Examples means everything. The hat seems to not be that bad.

[Xeroph]

It just needs an extra color, it will be best if the color is between the darkest and lightest.

[Novally]

That's more of a preferential thing, don't you think? I should add more contrast to the hat though.

[Xeroph]

Okay, its just the shirt has so much more detail compared to the hat.

[Novally]

I've always wanted to have my work on the archive since I was a beginner. I will start with this. Please help me improve this sprite. Once it's at it's highest quality I will make a sheet and submit it.



Which version is Better?

C+C needed.

My issues are that there is some selective outline fails I overlooked.

So let's talk about the sel-out first, then. The shaded part's outline is really dark, while the brighter one is barely visible.
The shape could be rounder, right now you've got some bumps in the top-left and bottom-right. The close arm looks really weird, because the body part below it looks like it is part of the arm. Your arms should be more like they are in the scribble on the left, too: not as blob-like, but melting into the body (to have the "poking through cloth" effect). The eyes should be centered above the mouth (or the mouth below the eyes), the mid-line on the tongue is too strong (try to make it less dark and thick). Then we've got the shading. Compare the shading left and right of the mouth, it does not match up. You've merely made one half of the circle dark instead of conveying its volume. I think you shaded it way too much anyways.
