MOTHER/Earthbound: Porky Mugshots

[Five Stars]

I'm Five Stars, that guy who wanted to send his custom sprites more than a millon times.

Here I come to show to the tSR two mugshots:

Pokey/Porky Minch


What do you think about them? I should add more...

flat shading,
boring pallet with little contrast
and the solid black outline is could easily be made more exciting by some colour bleeding or selout.

EDIT:
I've not checked the rules just yet (doing so now), but most communities I've been on have frowned at a post completely stylized, in this case all the text is green.
EXTRA EDIT: rules do not mention it, regardless I find it pointless. and others may be annoyed if they have come from other communities, but I wont put words in mouths.

Yeah, Bomb is right about the text. I know from experience that many people here dislike formatted text, so please use the default from now on.

[McMaxxis]

Not a fan of the banding on the cheeks and the hair.
Also, there should be more of a shadow over his eyes.

I should add more...

Also if you have more, do this.

Right now, Porky's head is a little too circular. He normally has a wider head, seen here. Not a huge problem, you could probably extend the face a pixel or two from each side and tweak the outlines a tad. Right now, I would take out the shading and focus on the lineart. It's not bad, but it looks a bit boring (mirrored, nearly circular, etc.).

I would recommend widening the head, making the bow a little sharper (right now, it's a little too round and gets lost in all of the other roundness of the sprite), and tweaking the mouth, because the curvature for a circle that small makes the top and bottom look sharp (try to get the shapes accurate, and the shapes can always be slightly smoothed out with AA.) I'm only looking at the first Porky sprite for the moment, BTW.

Made an edit to just the mouth and nose to show you what I mean. Right now, worry about the editing the lineart, though.

You should be basing that edit as a way to help Five Stars improve. It's alright if you make an edit, but the edit should be for the purpose of helping the OP, as this is his thread.

1.3: Don't derail other people's topics.
Unless you have something interesting to add to the topic, don't post in it at all. Posting your sprites in someone else's topic isn't interesting. If you want attention so badly then make your own topic.

Again, I could be getting the wrong idea, but if you're posting an edit not for your own amusement with the intention of actually helping the OP, it would be nice to explain what you did to help. Seeing from the Wiggawful thread, it looks like you're just using the ideas and posting your own take on the OP's sprites, which isn't the purpose of this forum.

EDIT: post was deleted. Huh.
