First attempt at SNES Sparkster styled sprite

[Cobalt Blue]

Do you mind telling me WHERE it's pillow shaded rather than tell me it's pillow shaded and over saturated.

unless you though i was talking about your sprite (?) the pillowshading in sparkster armor is quite evident and the whole game's saturation is quite high, but never oversaturated. at least compared to its genesis counterpart where it just breathes black like many other genesis games.

also

not really trying to sound harsh, but that doesnt show anything useful or unique(or relevant) besides showing how they shaded a sprite(and they just shaded it as it had to be shaded, to an extent). maybe if you focused your analisis on how the characters where designed instead of how they were shaded that would make more sense in terms of achieving a "style".

and just like these two said, it does look like a tails edit for the same reason.
