i think i hear a pulse in the thread!
i have come back, witha an AWESOME sprite (probably one of the best i've ever done)
it took me i think a bit more than an hour to get it perfect (or my perception of perfection)
(i didnt use any sort of base, so she might be a bit tall )
pls comment
@reaper: wtf? weird, thin, no shading, bad skin colour...needs a lot of improvement. (unless it was intended)

Did this awhile back, around the time i posted my 'return' thread, testing how far my skills have rusted since I last did any spriting, and testing how well I'm handling female sprites now.
I must say, the results were better than expected, I thought I would be completely crippled by now.
"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.

(2nd sprite) The bottom part looks like pants fix that ~ umm? lighten it so it looks like it's part of her skin color... Also on the first the sprite has shaded hair and the 2nd doesn't...
(1st sprite) looks Incredibly Awesome!! I really like the eyes... very anime in my opinion...
Well Done

Yeah, I forgot about the update thing :p
*Grabs urls and runs to first post*
Edit: Done. Took more than expected... If you didn't like the spoiler thing tell me and I'll put it as before. It's just that there are a lot of sprites now. That's good.

For the dude it looks like you took a frame from louisEX as a base, gave him a helmet, and changed the colours of the clothes.
For the girl it looks like you took Apoc's Lucy as a base, gave her a mask and some ear bits, and gave her a shirt and pants instead of the dress she had.
All in all I'd say good try only on the shirt and pants for Lucy, but the helmet looks out of place because of the outline style, which doesn't match the rest of the sprite because the rest does not have an outline.
