Hmm.. looks more like Betit to me. Not quite Apoc yet, unless he's on a bad run.
In light of recent events, does this mean this is Apoc's sprite? quite lackluster in my opinion. though I still love the design.

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.

This is probably Apoc, or Siegvar. The shapes remind me of Siegvar, but the shading hues don't.
I did this to you for obvious reasons. You have just wasted a lot of time. Congratulations.

Whee! I got a sprite to post!
Is it just my imagination or are there more entries than usual for this contest?
And this sprite, gah... tricky tricky.
This use of modified ambiguous bases... shading that matches LF2's original characters almost flawlessly... could it be Yinyin? Or someonelse?
Its too bad I don't pay enough attention to all the spriters around, or I might have a better chance of identifying the spriter for this. Are there any regular spriters around here who uses this style? I can only think of yinyin and silva. Neither of whom are regulars here. lol.
And come to think of it, I don't see an entry by PF or xlilbob.
Unless this: is by PF, which I doubt. This looks more like Alec's stuff.
or unless this: isn't Apoc's but is PF's?

Siegvar (more colorful than usual). Or someone trying to copy Siegvar style.
I just noticed that lots of these sprites have their faces (or atleast eyes) covered.
Edit: Does this mean that Snor sprited something? Why are we assuming that everyone who posted a sprite entered the contest? Maybe Alectric is selecting random people... maybe it's just a big coincidence. *troll face*

Basic Mafia-strategy: analyze your fiend before he analyzes you. Most of the time, people are posting sprites in pairs; X presents Y's and Y presents X's (with only few variations of this pattern). And in doubt, guess :p

But that's no fun. The fun comes from trying to guess based solely on the sprite. whee.

i guess its prince of persia
but maybe we should stop posting theories about who made what sprite, that kinda destroys the main purpose, doesn't it?
