"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.

@Siegvar: Please don't complain about the proportions. 
@below: To point that out is the purpose of the smiley.

Not with my 1st submission... but now I have a better chance.
I still don't really like the nose and mouth... but I'm not sure what's wrong about it. haha.

i don't know why you are bothered with the mouth.. maybe make the round line at the end of his mouth ... the line of the corner of the mouth.. a bit shorter.. and for the nose.. maybe a thiner line or less black line would make it look better.. also you could make the hair colour a tad bit darker ... idk thats all i have on criticism. Hope it helps somehow.. other than that epic facepic

Hm... I really don't know whats your problem with the mouth. But for the nose I have the feeling that its the dark shaded part of it. Maybe it goes too much \, I can't quite tell.
Anyway I think yours is best in here, though the hair is a bit blurry. It just isn't as close to davis as some of the others. Hard choice...
