Alectric's later sprites

[Siegvar]

^ i reckon i know where you for the inspiration for that, i still love it


I came up with some random idea, and went a little overboard from the original idea, and ended up with this :P

You're getting really good at this... really like the sprite.
You've more or less gotten shading and colours and details down pat already. Though, you really should get working on your proportions and poses, as they're the main drawback on your sprites right now.
For example, in this particular sprite, the legs are way too short, your torso alone is as long as the legs already.
Most of the time the legs should be almost as long as the head and torso together. A good guide for this is to rmb that the navel is usually the the halfway point between the top of the head and the toes. (that puts the crotch just slightly below the halfway point, and the legs share the halfway point with the hips.)

As for poses, well.. I'm not sure. I'm also working on them for myself. I guess all you could do is look at more art and try out more poses?
