NarutoRealm sprites

[Mithlomion]

Okay, ive zoomed the sprites. And looked.. they are really pillow shaded, and thats not good. Another thing, they got really many colours, you can make the same sprite effect with 2-3 colours.. i dont know how many he had in there, around 20-30? The most of the colours are not even noticable by the eye, youll have to check em by trying to colour the sprite in a different colour.. this is sign of mistakes without using a palette and trying to match colours.. or by using a tool. Take a peak for yourself. if you posted that at pixeljoint or pixelation.. the sprites would't be taken as pixel art. Since it got signs of using a brush/pencil with opacity lower than 100%. Which is against pixel art, im not sure if this is pixel art.. Maybe he used a tool becouse he wanted to?.. like i.. i used a brush for my old Godborn tiles. Anyway im doing an edit of the back side sprite, im gonna try some new palettes and changing the form a bit to show you what i would have done.. Might give you a better clue of what im talking about. And yea if you dont believe me.. open up photoshop, take the paint bucket tool and turn OFF contiguous.

Edit :

Allright i did an edit, not the best.. i just worked on it for an half hour. I got school now so i cant continue, i did the legs really poorly and.. yeah i did't really focus much on fixing the bodys form. Or basically i did't change anything, just the shading and palette. I hope you see what i mean? :S

I did two palettes, one with hue-shifting and one.. well with just regular light-brown skin colours.
