Re: Base character (male) - Vans - 13-06-2007
1) skin color is weird
2) feets are weird (i wanna see how u make it walk with those giant feets)
3) the shape is not very original x_x
so my final qualification is 3/10 just for the effort
Re: Base character (male) - Rezeyu - 13-06-2007
Wow, haven't seen you in a long time Stomache.
I forgot you did pixel art.
You always had this wierd almost over-saturated pallete. If you do everything in that color scheme it'd look kinda cool.

space.bar.is.broken.....deal.with.it
lol
anyways
the.only.thing.i.see.wrong.is.the.feet.go.too.far.outward
a.large.majority.of.people.walk.like.this.in.real.life
but.im.not.one.of.them...
fix.that.and.you.have.a.great.base.sprite
=Þ
Re: Base character (male) - Matt - 13-06-2007
Dude, seriously, fix your space bar or buy a new keyboard. xD
Anyways, I agree with Majik. I don't really like the sprite at all though. But that's just me.
Re: Base character (male) - halla - 13-06-2007
I would change up the skin color and fix up the feet
but the shape isnt too bad
Re: Base character (male) - Matt - 13-06-2007
He has no chin. He's fat. He has huge pointy feet. He looks like he belongs on the Simpsons due to his skin color.
Other than that, it's not that bad.
Re: Base character (male) - Stomach Pulser - 14-06-2007
I edited the male to fix the feet and fatness...also, my pallets seem odd, because I am slightly colorblind.

Re: Base character (male) - Ramsey - 14-06-2007
yay the simpsons mmo, finally!
Re: Base character (male) - Stomach Pulser - 14-06-2007
IMO, these look nothing like the Simpsons...
Re: Base character (male) - Rezeyu - 14-06-2007
They're talking about the skin color Stomache.
IMO, I prefer how they were before. At least it was something different. Too many sprites have the same styles nowadays. Or maybe I just don't get out enough.
Re: Base character (male) - Andrew - 14-06-2007
Im not a fan. They look a little flat, and seem to have gotten an odd tan.
Though everything is proportional and such, so theyre not bad.
Btw Majik i havent seen you around in foreverO_o
Re: Base character (male) - Stomach Pulser - 14-06-2007
I guess that I suck at shading. If someone would take my base shape and shade it accordingly, it would be appreciated. Don't worry, I'm not going to use it, just compare it to my shading.

Re: Base character (male) - Andrew - 14-06-2007
unless you wanna make fun of me for having big feet, they're proportional enough.
Re: Base character (male) - Stomach Pulser - 15-06-2007
Vans, I changed the feet if you haven't noticed...
Re: Base character (male) - Vans - 15-06-2007
Stomach Pulser Wrote:Vans, I changed the feet if you haven't noticed...I did notice, check the head size and then the feet and you will see its not proportional.If your going for a realistic you might want to add it some years too x_X Also check the chest, it looks like he had giant hips. A ruanda version of simpsons characters xD
Re: Base character (male) - Stomach Pulser - 17-06-2007
How is it now, I started form scratch and redid the sprite...(graphics gale FTW)
I just don't like the head...

added better highlights, outline touchups, and more noticable ears

Re: Base character (male) - Vans - 17-06-2007
I getting a lot better, there are still some things i would change:
1) The use of colors: you have some colors that don't have almost difference in contrast between each other. Its preferable to have a few with some nice contrast instead of 10000 colors (im obviously, just talking about pixel art). Try to learn more about palettes and shading techniques
2) Abuse and bad use of cel out: becareful with this man!, you made big mistakes here. For example you used cel out all over the stroke but not in the pants and when you abused and bad used the cel out in the strokes of the body. I'd rather use 1 color of outline and inner anti-alias
3) The shape: it still looks kinda robotic speacially for the arms. And he still has no ears
.So my final rating 5/10

[Updated image]
In the above post I compare the old to the touched-up version.
