got bored. completely from scratch, on paint. and scaled.

i would like comments/constrructive criticism.
what do you think of it?

[Simoneon]

Well You're just to awesome for paint, it can't handle You :P

The only thing that You need to improove is hair shading and a little bug in right (from our view) arm :P Somehow I don't like that piece of char

[snorsorbet]

Hmm... This looks-- HOLY SCHMOOLY DID YOU DO THAT IN PAINT!!?

Anyway, things to improve:

- Make the eyes more LF2 styled. (I think you know what I mean).
- Use multiple shading levels. (Right now there is one. Two should do the trick :P.)
- Shade the shoes. (For this it usually only takes one shading level.)
- Shade the pants, as they are completely "unshaded" except for the part near his shirt.
- Move the shading on the shirt a bit to the left.
- Fix his Hair shading. (Right now it looks like the light source is behind him on his hair).
- EDIT:You must add eyebrows.
Thanks to XLittlebob252 for finding the mistake, I just added it here to give you a complete list.

I guess that's all

[XLittlebob252]

you forgot 1 thing.
add eyebrows too.
if you did i cant see them.
and i think that is it XD.

very nice!

I think he did made eyebrows (zoom in). But they are extremely close to his eyes.. ^^
(or is it something else?)

But yea, f***ing incredible! Especially if u just did this in paint!!

there are eyebrows, look closely
i like the jacket, looks awesome, but i dont really like the colour of his shirt. a weird fleshy colour..
anyways, i think it is great!
good to see you in the spriting forum!

[LutiChris]

Nice, just like my style
I do almost the same thing (but usually not from scratch)
The most interesting is when your finnished (i'm still looking at the shading)
you going to make this into a character someday?

[dubbleD]

thanx guys
@lutischris
lmao...dunnno
but this kinda started with the lfm forum so maybe it might turn into something...

@eveyone else
lol im gonna die from all tha shading. i already spent ages on all the shading thats already there XD
as for the eyes...i know i was a bit stuck with that one cos theyre so small. i cant make them larger otherwise theyll look too big. and alectric is correct, there are eyebrows. just look closely lol. i think i may need to add a little more colour to make them visible. Of course i can see all the parts that still needed to be shaded. the shoes? uhm....look at louisEx's shoes .
but hair on paint takes too long and i think that if done correctly, plain hair like that can still look nice. But i'll still give it a trry
yeah im thinking of changing the colour of the shirt too


so.....oh i forgot, i did antialias with gimp actually, for the sprite with the jacket. thats the only thing i didnt use paint for lmao

EDIT: modified and antialias'd again. a bunch of changes. eyebrows, nose, eyes, hair, jacket shading on top of clothes, shirt, pants.

[Alectric]

to be honest, i liked the old eyes better.
he looks great now!

[chase123]

woohoo really great sprite i can't believe you did it in paint!

nice work.now shading is better.
