Alectric's later sprites

[Alectric]

I finally got my tablet and my photoshop working on my new computer, so hopefully, i can get back to work comfortably
This sprite is the first sprite on my new computer. I was just test trailing things. I hope i got the proportions a little better this time though. (his arms are a little big i think)

Critique welcome

Indeed, you got a bit away from the typical Alectric-proportions. Yet, it's still a little bit messed up, proportion-wisely. Allow me to demonstrate this:



As you can see, the arm-thickness is perfectly fine. So are the size of the legs. Yet, the torso is still a tad too large -- and by that, the head appears smaller than desired because you squish it into the remaining space.

So, my tip would be to open a sprite of character X in PS, create a new file, set both zoom-levels at the same size, and align the two right next to each other. That way, it will be much easier to not mess up the proportions too severely.

Eh, I suppose that's true, but only if Alec was trying to follow LF2's proportions.
But as far as human proportions go, his sprite is fine, just... a little more neck would've been nice.

Alright, just for my own amusement, i tried to sprite with only my mouse this time:

My wrist is kinda sore, and it took quite a while, but im kinda pleased with the result.

Ill draw the same sprite with my tablet later and help you people make a comparison between mouse vs tablet.

http://www.mythicalcreaturesguide.com/page/Slender+Man Hey, I was wondering if you can make something scary like the Slenderman (Images in link provided.) I would bow down to you FOREVER if you made him.

[Alectric]

^i think i made a sprite like that somewhere...it was some tree guy and he had a tie. Ill see if i can track him down.

And ill get around to spriting Duck king some day soon :P Mohawks take a lot more perseverance.


Prince_freeza and i were having our sprite session, and we decided we wanted to do a char with a fro. (guy on the right)
Im not happy with my sprite, i've done quite a lot of things that i spent ages practicing not to do :P I must be rusty.

The purple guy is a concept sprite that was for the hunter sprite theme. (guy on left)


at least (i think) the guy on the right has better proportions than my usual sprites, but i cant shake giving them 'fat' heads.
Please critique

The purple guy has a strange proportions, because well, the legs look a bit too short, or is it just me.
The guy on the right is perfect in proportions, and great shading. No more comment.

You said it, he has, indeed, better proportions that your usual sprites. Although the fro is not really visible and requires more curly than straight brush strokes (maybe longer strokes as well?).

The caped guy looks really interesting, very capturing pose. Nice work!
