Alectric's later sprites

[Alectric]

You guys nailed it on the head :P

I quite like the first guys face, littlebob, i can see what you mean though. I dont know what you mean about the boneless legs however.

Yeah, i did rush the second guy, and now i cant un-see his chubby ball arms.

Painttool SAI is definitely good for lineart, and i found it was pretty clean with the sprite making process, It didnt leave massive quantities of dark pixels.
I've found the photoshop brushes just a little too blurry, and i've forgotten if there was a way to make them more crisp or not.
Sai is great for getting those sharp tipped strokes i always wanted in photoshop. Once i figure out how to get that effect just right in photoshop, ill probably move back ;D

Oh, and cheers Siegvar for the references. They will come in handy
I've gathered plenty of references over the last few months, i just need like 2 hours to sit down and have a good look at them.
