What I really look like:
I'm the one on the left, the other guy's my brother.
Yea, totally not like it at all.
"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.

also i hope this is not much to ask but can you do the darius sprite again but follow the latest version (the ver. final i am still working on)??
waiting for more man ;)
After searching a bit I found out you did say that Darius was your rep char, and when there's one already I try to don't change it too much, I just used the colors of the suit to make an armor. The eyes... I don't really see a problem there (however they are different, not the same than the original Darius).
When you say the latest version you mean, to make it without the armor, but his original suit? (Like, outside of this Empire Chars).

Edit: actually, yes (referring to Sieg's "stunted" description), how come I'm the shortest? lol
Also, I'd like to see the "pimpish" look that you were referring to. After all, the fur design caught on when one of the pictures of me in a long fur coat got posted on the officials a few years back :P
Hey, you're welcome :p
Actually, I failed with the sizes in Prince Freeza char, I did it 10% bigger. Now that I fixed it, everyone looks ok. Here, look:

Those look really good. Damn apoc, raising the bar yet higher, awesome stuff.
I have to say though, the proportions on Marshall and Alblaka are a little rushed and off. they look kinda stunted somehow.
MH looks totally WAY out there though. freaking awesome. Turn that into a character, and my current Frozen project will be turned into a scrap pile that I'll have to finish quickly and then move on to a even crazier project.
And now I really want to decide on a design for myself, just to see what you'd make of it.
By your explanation on the skills stuff.. I'd probably be some kind of mage knight... sounds cool.
Isn't there a project for representative chars already in progress? Even though I can't see it, I guess it's hidden somewhere in the project area xD
Thanks for the compliment, after some weeks without spriting I'm getting back faster than I expected.
I actually have thought about a design for you already. I don't know if it's what you think I'll do. It's nice but will represent you as a spriter only.
Tip, it's not Van Damme.
So, I'll put these four characters here and edit them in this post if there is anymore fixes I should do, to don't flood the thread:
Not updating because I worked too much for the collaborative sprite contest and don't feeling like spriting today (I'm sure you'll like that one, it's a good sprite).
Edit: You won't be dissapointed :p

@apoc: no no the Armour looks fantastic what i just meant is that u used the old look instead of this new one:
also my favorite sprite so far is the alblaka representative, man the face expressions and the hair shading really i mean REALLY make me drule and want to sprite something quickly.
thumbs up!

@kushagrajaink
Eventually.
@ Whaat
He means the series of dark characters I was going to do some time ago, but I only posted Dark Davis (It's at the bottom of the first post in the thread).
@ prince_freeza
Weird, I thought I was using the latest version. I'll update it later, then. (Even though I don't know if I prefer the old one, it has it's charm).
Update:
This one my be difficult to guess out. I will give clues if that's the case.

^ i would have said lf2timmE1, Sir frog, or maybe even Simoneon, since DCers are mages and spriters are warriors...
Or even Silva :P
