Apoc's Sprites

[prince_freeza]

well for starters i like her skin color scheme, gives me the feeling of that savage tribal girl. her hair needs slight fixing though no big deal about it. also tiger/leopard...whatever it is is also well done. the paws are giving me a hard time. i think the claws should be lowered a bit down. +1

i thing the best spriters in lf2 empire is Prince_frieza LF2TimmE1 and Apoc

'Tis cruel words, but i laughed to keep from crying. Indubitably indubitable.

that might be his opinion but its pretty obvious that the talented spriters on lfe are (trickity,HF,design heaven,apoc,sieg,timm,doj and your self alectric) <<did i forget to mention someone??

ur an awesome artist dude, why you think u have an award for it

I wasnt offended. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i laughed anyway :P

Updated some things (actually almost everytime I could improve the sprites based on your critics guys but I always feel kinda lazy to do it :p):

The last one was fine , not spectacular though.

The last one is referred to the amazon girl or the dragon?

And, the animal (whateves ) looks like having a rat head attached to it.

Mmm, I did touched some pixels in the update, but not much I can do because I do see it like a leopard myself (even though when I wanted to see a rat, i could see it too xD).

I want to put forward a question though.. What is the normal lf2 proportions or whatever proportions u use for ur sprites ? Cause, I see they are nice and kinda hard to study >_< . Please tell me that ( proportion thingy u use) .

I try to stick to LF2 size as much as I can. I always have Woody's standing sprite lurking around for size comparation (if you're thinking "why Woody?", because his shirt is tight and you can see the chest clearly). I always tend to do smaller feet and skinnier legs, it's my personal touch. Not that I do it on purpouse to differ from the original size, it's something I do automatically to make the sprite look good in my eyes.

Girl sprites are harder though, because when you try to put small chest+breast+large waist+skinnier legs, you have to be really careful to don't end up with a uniform mass of flesh.

I can post two naked models (female and male), if you want.

Edit:
@PF
Didn't draw claws this time, it's the brightest shade of color of the leopard's skin.

I did this with the 1px brush and a hard contrast of shading, so you can see clearly. I did the poses as stiff as I can.

(Should I put a spoiler? Just in case)

Hope it helps... somehow.

There are other templates I recall seeing Apocalipsis sharing,maybe these may help you:

From left to right: Lf2 male, my style male, my style woman. (I don't even care for lf2 female, it's horrible in my eyes)

[Apocalipsis]

Thanks for the find Chase, I don't think I have those anymore. Even if I had I was going to do new ones because I do them kinda different now :p

it's not the perfect sprite

the colo is not good
the leopard and the girl
the girl is more important than the leopard , right ??
so you should make the leopard darker and the girl lighter
and the girl's hair
it's too bright , so it's make this sprite look like
the girl's hair is the most important
the leopard is important than the girl
and the leopard's shadow is not good
the girl's leg
you should make it longer because her toe is in the same line with the leopard stomach , it's bad in art
and the girl don't look like sitting in the leopard
6.5/10

The girl is not more important than the leopard. Most times, I already have the design in mind before spriting so, color changing is not a option. This time it was dark skinned girl with some kind of bright yellow hair (was gonna do it white but changed opinion, before starting). The color of the leopard changed because a light-yellow looked bad, so I made it darker.

the girl's leg

I just can't "make them longer", lol. Everything has a proportional size wich I can't change. In any case, I could change the position. But it's such an insignificant thing for me...

and the girl don't look like sitting in the leopard

So? Never said she was :p

6.5/10

You didn't like the colors and you rate 6.5/10? You must rate your own sprites with 2/10 most time then, cause there are a lot more proportions/position flaws in yours sprites than mine, imo. Don't take it as a offense though, I'm saying that you have quite high standarts, at the moment of evaluating sprites.

look like a child
1, ok , you can't make her lag longer , but you can put her into the other place
-1 for the leg , because it's the really important rule in art
-1 for the girl's hair , too
2, -1 for the leopard's colo , it's bad
3, leopard's based is wrong -0.5
and it's 6.5/10
it's unfair ??

[Apocalipsis]

it's unfair ??

Nope, never said it's unfair. I just remarked, that by substracting points for each flaw (and not seeing it as a whole), I could easily rate a lot of your sprites, below 4/10. That's all.

Edit@V:
Even if you make something great next, it won't make your previous sprites flawless.
Haha, It's just my opinion, don't get angry :p
