The Smash Bros. Project 4.5

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

I'd say the second one :/
(oh yeah, why don't you post a reminder for people to come? it'd be handy )
I have a question: is anybody working actively on Wario? I'd like to edit the basic sprite, but not do ALL of his animations.

[Pik]

The Wario is Arthur's so I guess he's working on him. By reminder, do you mean I make a banner and advertise like Koopaul did with his mario cards? Maybe.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Okay, I'll PM Arthur. Yeah, that's a good idea, better than what I meant: I meant just post an update with the three Sonics and the question. But go ahead with your idea, it'll spread far more quickly that way

[Gold]

Feel free to do whatever with Wario, I don't really have the time any more.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

I've made some edits based off what I said about some characters earlier on. They're not perfect nor finished edits, but I hope they'll be a guideline to what the spriters should get:

The sprites without a modified twin aren't edited. (Snake nor Pit are yet)
I hope it helps for all concerned!

[Wes]

Wario looks much better, and I like what you did with the Fire Emblem people's bodies. Other than that, the edits aren't as good as the originals.

Why the small heads though?

[Zanryu]

The heads are so... tiny.

Also, you messed up Ike's legs. Like, the shading. You removed the coat tails too, which are supposed to be there. His shirt's trim is also meant to be thicker than that. Marth looks weird that skinny. =/

Oh also, the way you've positioned Ike's upper body it looks like he's standing perfectly upright, but he's supposed to have a more slouched stance.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Nah, the heads are supposed to be that big :p
Okay, I'll work more on these. I hope it'll encourage people to take them :p

[HunterZ]

What the fuck did you do to their heads

[Omegakyogre]

Nah, the heads are supposed to be that big :p
Okay, I'll work more on these. I hope it'll encourage people to take them :p

This is why I made that argument a few pages back about artistic license;
The proportions are correct, but their heads are so small you can't properly give them any emotion (ex. Ike, Marth, Captain Falction). That's why you make them larger: It allows for more expression, and it makes the characters look more cartoony, fitting with the general style of Smash Brothers.

I think if you cannot see a character's eyes, it is not a good sprite, correct proportions or otherwise.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Okay, that's a good argument and I accept that
Last realistic proportion edit then

Yeah, Snake's a midget.

[Heckle]

...
Snake..?
Whilst other edits don't look so bad, Snake looks... erm. Not good. His pose looks off, and due to how bulky he is, the head not looks tiny compared to the rest of body, even if we're trying to be accurate in proportions.

And, I think I'd say this even if the original wasn't mine >.>
Having said that, the original does need improvements; its far too dirty, but that's a habit of mine I need to kick. Not to mention the animations need improvement.

[Kirbyfan]

I can't see it

[Medevenx]

I don't really like the small heads and all. Besides, it's too late. All Snake needs is a recolor.

[Pik]

i don't know.
