This round should be really fun.
10 sprites. 5C&P, 5 original.
It'll be interesting to see original renditions of C&P works...
And with so few sprites, there has to be a couple of direct competitions! which I think is a good thing, gives spriters the opportunity to compare their sprites with better ones at a more detailed level, and learn better from it.
And its plain exciting! WHEEE!
"I may devour the five continents, and swallow the three seas, but a body with neither wings, nor hands, nor feet, is powerless against the sky."
My stuff:
| sprites | frozen |
1) DO NOT PM ME
2) Go read up on anatomy and proportions online. (google is your best friend)
3) Go read up on pencil sketching-shading.
4) Practice by making FULL character sheets. (Refer to bases and references if you have to, occasionally try doing things from scratch. You have to mix both methods; bases and without.)
5) DO NOT be an arrogant, self-righteous prick when people try to give useful critiques, and ignore the ones who are flaming idiots. (Flaming them back makes you one of them.)
6) Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you're happy, or you think you're good, then start sharing your knowledge with your fellow spriters.
7) Showcase your sprites. At first, do not be discouraged when you don't get any critiques, or lousy/generic critiques. Continue practicing and showcasing your work. With more sprites, it will be clearer what your strengths and weaknesses are, and people may be better able to give you better critique.
Lastly, if you think saying all this makes me an arrogant, self-righteous prick who is too selfish to share his knowledge...
Then I say you cannot recognise wisdom when I've just slapped you in the face with it. (Also, those steps are the same steps I used to get to where I am, I don't know any way else to truly learn.)
Unless you think its worth my time, go F*** yourselves. I'm not going to bother to even reply to PMs like "can you help me make this character?" anymore.

better indeed, but people might say the template like body is too simplistic for a competition. Look at how many complaints bashcrazy got for drawing a detail-less batman facepic and you'll have some idea

How about making the char look like Harle's representative? Though, that would probably raise the question, how much a revamp can deviate from the original? On the sprite: the gent looks like a farting Karlsson. I suggest, that you try again, because I see, that you've got guts. (Pun intended.)
