Siegvar's Frozen

[Silverthorn]

When I started this... I was motivated by the thought and goal: "If I complete this... this will be a character with sprites so retardedly good it can compare to even the best of single frame sprites that aren't full characters!"

A noble goal, yet unreachable. People spend up to multiple hours on one single frame, whilst you will have to create over a hundred of sprites and maintaining the quality-level of the others. Sure, it is possible, but only if you are ready to spend the next two years working on Frozen non-stop.

In general, I would not compare a full character with a single sprite -- especially considering the discrepancy of work invested in those two. See them as different entities; compare Frozen to other completed characters and compare single sprites to other single sprites. Intermixing them is not bringing you further but rather demotivating if you maintain that standard.

I think, you have pushed the quality to a level that is way more than acceptable; the amount of detail is surpassing many other characters, and so is the general design. How could you improve this character if there is nothing to improve on? Adding anymore details would, most likely, ruin the overall design. You have taken one direction and you should keep that for the rest of the sheets. Editing the already-created sprites now would be just a task you will later regret, considering that the design is fixed (and, if I may add, looking great).
