I need some feedback for my spritesheet

[BaronVonCreeper]

ARRRRIGHT!

1.SMB on the NES isn't just flat colours, sure the sprites lack outlines but they have greater definition than just colored blobs, NES sprites are capable of 4 colours including transparency so you could effectively use that to define the belt, arms, mask, and hood fold.

2. These appear to be SMB2 sprites just with all the shades filled in, I suggest you take a look at the Mario Customs already on the site, for as you can see, have original sprites that look nearly to fully official, if TSR accepted all sprites, then we would have 10 second MS paint drawings of Mario all over the site.

3.slow down with the posts, nobody likes a user who runs in saying "WOW! FANTASTIC!" Then leaves... We've had users like these and they mostly turn out to be just building a post count so they can request stuff, which is very frowned upon around here

Just to mention, yes I appreciate your feedback and I do understand. However I am new to the forum and everything in general, so I need a lot of help. Just for the record I do do my research, and from searching the internet before I made this and checking on different websites I was almost certain you could only use 3 colours unless using the mega man affect which is two sprites layered, just mentioning not trying to be rude.

Just for the record I don't use MS paint, im on a mac. Not to say I would if I had a windows computer because it would not work.

Pretty much what Hiynastrike said. If you want an example of how to convert a sprite from one style to the SMB1 style, simply look at Super Mario Maker and their Chain Chomps.



The SMB3 has more details than in SMB1, but at the same time they did more than remove colors. Since the SMB1 style is more flat (everyone is either straight toward the player or the screen), they made the Chain Chomp look like he would fit in the original game. They still have less colors and no outlines, but you can still see the details. 

Your Shyguys don't show off that detail level. In fact, the way you recolored them made them lose detail. You removed their arms. You should instead try to edit the Super Mario Maker Bob-ombs and use them to make the Shyguys. Or do what I did and base them off Goombas.

Thanks that was really helpful, if you could just keep an eye out because im going to try again and make it more accurate, also great job on the shy guy you did it looks awesome.

Here we go I took your advise and spent some time perfecting it, but the walking doesn't look so good, can you see the reason because I couldn't tell.

Personally I think it looks a lot better.
