@ Siegvar
Great style. Flawless, except for the paw and fangs (?, I mean his hand) maybe, wich isn't up to everything else's awesomeness.
You're pwning this thread now xD
@Alec
It all looks rather flat and blurry, and the proportions are kinda messed up, but funny face expression xD

I think you got the idea of the lights and shadow better in this one than the crab, but like apoc said, its abit blurry(The shape and silhouette of the form isn't well defined.).
Else, its pretty cool. just use a smaller brush and pay more attention to the shape of the body.
"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.

Basically it's a female char who can summon spirits to fight, Anima. In the pic I drew a Spirit Cerberus too, just to show off her powers a little (And that is why I wasted 2 hours or something for this sprite)
@ LutiChris
Can you make a gallery in the first page, just like I did with the Girls Sprites Thread? So we can have all the content indexed.

ok, im back with a weird second attempt. this isnt any particular monster,just some random long-armed ghoul thing
![[Image: monsterhqm.png]](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6232/monsterhqm.png)
im not happy with the arms and face, but i like the lower half of his body, and i may recycle that .gif)
i couldnt find the right face for it, so i just covered it up with a shroud, and say he's really ugly and he cant stand the sight of himself :P
and yeah, lol @ zombie...even i think its funny. the proportions are a little outta wack, because he was intended to be like that (slanty shoulders, long arms, skinny etc) but the legs didnt come out as planned. (i.e, they are sh*t)

i'd just like to go back to Apoc's point,
its hard to comment on your and siegvars sprites because they are so good. To critique them would be hypocritical. Also, im not sure what siegvar was complaining about, when there was like a page of comments on his sprite. there isnt much more that you can say about it, when "its awesome/epic" has been used up, and i dont know about you, but i get tired of hearing it sometimes.
Also, i kinda agree about the rookie's getting better advice, but then again, that is because i (and im sure a few others) cant stand the ugliness of some sprites
