There is this super-ancient quote that Az still has in his sig:
(11-19-2009, 05:51 PM)Blue Phoenix Wrote: Being totally objective on this one, not euphemizing anything, I must say the following: there are a lot of people around here that haven't reached a level of maturity required to flawlessly participate in a discussion. Actually, over 99% will not be able to do this before their 20th birthday. Maturity grows with time, means that you can't expect everyone to behave completely adequate to the respective situation.
In short:
@people that give crits:
- State what bothers you
- Give reasons (many fail at this one already)
- Tell it in a non-offensive manner (which, in my opinion, separates the kids that bluntly spit out everything that is on their mind from the adults)
@people that receive crits
- Think if the critique is justified, not just blatant name-calling but filled with value (if yes: see (2), if no, see (3))
- Try to get those improvement-suggestions worked out. It might be hard but that pushes you to become better. If you don't like the suggestions, state why and don't just go on a rant-spree.
- Don't (that means DO NOT!!!!!!!!!) go berserk back at the critiquing guy. This is no sandbox where, when a kid throws sand at you, you throw twice the load back at him. Even though it might not be fully diplomatically written, think if there is something that can still be considered, nevertheless.
I am afraid that I have been saying this at least 79 times already.... good things you wroted in here,but you missed few things here,i'm not old mono-critic hater

Whoa whoa, really nice, BUT.
Again the color combinations, it seems like it's not your best part xp I would make him like black and red colored (+hair that could be smthing ''normal'' like brown or blond).
Or well, another color combination fix could be:
Change pants (green) to black and hair (blue) to red/blond.
Might be back, might be not :^) anyways awesome to see you guys again!

I thought you weren't gonna bash critiques anymore and just say that you prefer something else instead... -_____-

regarding the bits in red:
Even though you said "no offense"
stuff like "Who are you, some stylist?" sounds very sacarstic, and contradicts your "no offense."
Although the "no offense" worked okay for the "sometimes you sound a bit girly" part, because that doesn't sound so sacarstic, as its in a simple statement of fact form, and not a rhetorical question form like the other one.
Btw, I'm just using those words so you can search them on google if you're interested in checking out the difference, if I've not explained it well enough.
That's probably why people still think you're bashing critiques.. even though as you say you did explain why you don't agree with the opinion even while accepting it.
"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.

Oh sh!t its Black Star! Thats my guy right there. He punches anyone in the face. Even girls.
With that rant aside, I'm happy to know someone did Black Star...if I didnt get to him eventually. Actually I might just sprite him anyway just to see how he'd turn out.
He could use a bit of work. Black star is very lean and your version makes him look plain, stiff, and a bit nerdy. (his pants weren't hiked up that high O_o) I love the shoes and his hair is almost perfect. Nice job nonetheless.
Escape is a two-syllable word that grants temporary peace in the present to a future victim.
