Updated entry, included a hand scythe and the forehead tattoo.
BTW, I always felt like he looked like a shape-shifter?
you took my breath away
shape-shifter? yes and no. Yes because he's a parasite, no because he is Marshall, yes and no because the two have been combined ~ Marshall

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.

I don't know about the claw, the shape is a bit off :P
I think making it more spiral-ish would solve the problem, as the claw is very bent at a point.
I <3 back seat driving :DDD
I did this to you for obvious reasons. You have just wasted a lot of time. Congratulations.
Still with the same joke? ;D - Simoneon

revised scythe. toned down aura.
you know... I still can't imagine how a scythe could be grafted onto an arm without the grafting being clumsy and the user constantly poking himself by mistake. Unless he's a shapeshifter. lol. If I were ever to create him as a full character... at least the scythe would be able to shapeshift, if not the whole character. But that's just a bad tease now, since its unlikely I'll ever do it. Or at least not in the foreseeable future.

I said that he would end up drawing you my friend. Infact rather than just said, I told him he'd choose either Apocalypsis or You. Noticeably, I think he's chosen the latter.
Means you're being drawn, if not - I'll draw you. I got an insane idea coming along involving an xbox controller... .

Oh, okay. Cool. Thanks Phil!
...
Which brings me to the question of how exactly Eddie can predict the future...
EDIT: Hmm. Perhaps they are merely self-fulfilling prophecies: By telling people things will happen, he convinces them to subconsciously cause said events. Still impressive, but not clairvoyant.
