I hate to say things like that, but I have to agree with you on that one
If you have the time, will, patience, and whatever else, you might want to redo your sprite. The concept itself is quite nice, but the execution is not really satisfying. Try using a different pose; a pose where the dragon looks intimidating as if his pure look can rip his opponents apart.
Then, about the design; the shirt looks okay, but the pants somehow don't really fit. It's as if they're hanging around his belly, for the sake of having them in there. At the same time, the legs look awfully weak. Like if they're not made to carry that body. A pair of wings might be helpful as well, but those are optional only. Plus, I wonder why he's not falling over xD
Once again, would be great if you could make this happen. Push yourself!
Also, @ Whaat, this one's probably your best so far; really nice work! Only thing that I would've added in your place would be a fin at the tail. Other than that, I don't see anything worth ranting about. Keep it up!

well... BP said what I had in mind regarding Bash's
As For Whaat, make him ride the waves! He's the god of the seas, so make us feel the might of it. had you not mentioned it was Poseidon, I really thought it was just a normal merman. (it just occurred to me that the female merpeople are called mermaids, so males are called... merbutlers...?)

The boobs are fine, but now that the boobs are so eye-catching the terrible lack of anatomical details in the areas around it become painfully obvious. the shoulders and the collar area looks so much like blobs of goo right now, even though I see an attempt at highlighting the collar bones. It just lacks that holistic touch.
Hope you don't mind the somewhat rough and vague critique.
And Klod is banned? for what this time?
Which reminds me, we probably should have some feature that explains why a member is banned and other details, maybe in his profile or something. Or do we already have that and I'm just foolishly unawares?
"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.
