Rejected Mechakoopa Sprite

[JewyB]

The main issue for me looking at them is the front sprites, imo they seem too thin and jagged i guess? I think it woudl help by thickening the head up a little, and the body a little further, give the character some 3D depth. It may also help you to make the beaks look a bit more rounded and on-model.

Also, dont be afraid to drop a couple of details on the front facing sprites if afterwards you find they look too busy, readability > detail in smaller sprites like this.

Hope this helps!
