vandamme huh? That's too awesome.
@pf:
I'm a guy, but I like spriting female chars more than spriting male ones, so I'll be mote likely to come up with a nice design for a female character than a male one.
"I may devour the five continents, and swallow the three seas, but a body with neither wings, nor hands, nor feet, is powerless against the sky."
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.

Note how you didn't deny it was true... it's obviously too awesome that I know your secret which isn't really a secret anymore as I accidently released it upon these poor, young citizens of LFE.
So I assume that the army thing is also not discredited and that it is more likely that we could draw an army guy and it'd be a good representation of you. So why do I have this wonderous idea:
Sprite a Vandamme like army guy with his hands above his head. Why are they above his head? Spriting a massive pencil with Siegvar engraved in it of course, drawing on a bit of paper on the floor. Note only does he have artistic talent, he has biceps the size of small children.
