***BUMP***BUMP***BUMPP**!!
Now- Bites a bullet.
Siegvar Ignited the sleeping fire in my mind. I have finished all the basics of the char ^^. Only moves and effects are pending . I know, that the character's quality doesn't match my present quality. Let this be a created-for-fun char :P .

Doesn't matter that it no longer matches your present quality. It'll be good enough practice. Try and see how fast you can finish this character, now that its comfortably below your usual level. And after you're done, I'll have some recommendations on what to think about before you start your next character. For this one, I'll try not to confuse you too much with suggestions, just have fun and finish him up.
"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."
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 my interpretation of how maple should look in real life. Also , i might add outlines to make it lf2-ish if u guys like this. He is bit sleepy..
if you dont mind ofc, i am offering to help with the facepic

Public enemy of the society
The one you cannot see the thirty three degree"
