Critics would be highly appreciated, what do u think about the concept/sprite?

I like the hairrrr ^^
colours for skin/hair and clothes are choosen well

Gotta agree: shapes and colours are well chosen. I'd try out making the coloured cloth a notch lighter or more saturated to make him look less black-only on brighter backgrounds.

The stronger bend left arm irked me a little first, but I think I'm getting used to it.

Those thin, bend arms would work great for quick fluent up hooks as his basic punches. A bit like Firens (or Maverics first) left punch, except giving them an inward spin so the last relaxation frame has the lower arm horizontal in front of his chest. (Click to View)

I think there is no character so far doing this with both arms, and abusing radial motion for every punch is a kind of cheap/thievish fighting style. Unless you'd rather have him throw knives or something?

but the lack of neck is irritating, it's like his chin is stuck in his chest - maybe its just my eyes though ~

in fact the collar of his top is supposed to be covering some parts of his face, maybe its not clean enough tho :/

Well, little or no neck on LF2 characters is common. It's true that his tilt back torso, chin on chest and high collar enforce this even more. I don't think it's a problem though. Looks all right to me.


Already got ideas for his other motions or skills?
