Alectric's later sprites

[PsychoPixels]

Pretty awesome, man. Although, you could have done more with the face, they look too bland to me (as in expression).

[snorsorbet]

The poses are somewhat... gimped? Also, what PsychoPixels said.

EDIT: They look pretty squeezed together and out of balance.

gimped? please, explain further.

didn't quite turn out the way I envisioned it (actually.. quite freaking way off.), but i thought I'd share it here. Its supposed to be another idea I had for the representative character contest, as alectric, but since it came out somewhat weird I went with Marshal's character instead.

^ i reckon i know where you for the inspiration for that, i still love it


I came up with some random idea, and went a little overboard from the original idea, and ended up with this :P

You're getting really good at this... really like the sprite.
You've more or less gotten shading and colours and details down pat already. Though, you really should get working on your proportions and poses, as they're the main drawback on your sprites right now.
For example, in this particular sprite, the legs are way too short, your torso alone is as long as the legs already.
Most of the time the legs should be almost as long as the head and torso together. A good guide for this is to rmb that the navel is usually the the halfway point between the top of the head and the toes. (that puts the crotch just slightly below the halfway point, and the legs share the halfway point with the hips.)

As for poses, well.. I'm not sure. I'm also working on them for myself. I guess all you could do is look at more art and try out more poses?

I finally got my tablet and my photoshop working on my new computer, so hopefully, i can get back to work comfortably
This sprite is the first sprite on my new computer. I was just test trailing things. I hope i got the proportions a little better this time though. (his arms are a little big i think)

Critique welcome

Indeed, you got a bit away from the typical Alectric-proportions. Yet, it's still a little bit messed up, proportion-wisely. Allow me to demonstrate this:



As you can see, the arm-thickness is perfectly fine. So are the size of the legs. Yet, the torso is still a tad too large -- and by that, the head appears smaller than desired because you squish it into the remaining space.

So, my tip would be to open a sprite of character X in PS, create a new file, set both zoom-levels at the same size, and align the two right next to each other. That way, it will be much easier to not mess up the proportions too severely.

Eh, I suppose that's true, but only if Alec was trying to follow LF2's proportions.
But as far as human proportions go, his sprite is fine, just... a little more neck would've been nice.

Alright, just for my own amusement, i tried to sprite with only my mouse this time:

My wrist is kinda sore, and it took quite a while, but im kinda pleased with the result.

Ill draw the same sprite with my tablet later and help you people make a comparison between mouse vs tablet.

We wantz live spriting Stream!!!
