i love him
but it would be much better if you enhanced the expression on his face
that'll make look like he's showing lots of attitude
ie make the frown little darker and viewable...

Thanks Qwertz!
I think I like that expression already and I don't want him to look with lots of attitude...

Agree with monolith except the arms. if its muscular enough, those contours represent perspective drawn curves of the muscles, and may be a tiny bit deformed but its negligible as it enhances the effect when viewed at normal zoom levels.
However, I'm guessing you didn't think that much and just got lucky... while possibly referencing Apoc's character Heat for the pose, right down to using the gauntlets and fingers base and even the pants.
I've nothing against that though, its good for practice.
However... you also shrunk the legs even more than Apoc did with Heat. At this point your character is terribly stunted.
Anyway, its much better than your previous ones, even if its only coz you used a good reference. Keep going.
"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.

@Sieg
Yeah I used heat as a reference so sorry for not telling it earlier as I forgot about that...
and I made those legs as I wanted to make my sprite look like he is wearing it a little bit low vest...

here are the two sprites:
1st is the one by me and 2nd is heat by apoc...
aren't they having their pants at the same level?
@ Monolith
Fixed those shoulders!

![[Image: 3x4dg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/3x4dg.png) Oh no, no worries about the not telling. That's not an issue since its just a reference for practice.
Anyway about the legs, its all relative. Your body is bigger than in Apoc's so the ratio has been reduced.
Where Heat's legs are about as long as his body...
Your character's body (measured from shoulder to hip) is longer than his legs (from hip to feet.)
So it looks like your character has very short legs.
