There is also a 2nd version apoc did with the same shirt
but he didn't add the yellow highlight tht i wanted to add
i thought it would be cool to transform his jacket into wings
tbh didn't really turn out the way i wanted to (first time to make angel wings).
Is there any way i can improve on it to make you like it? :P
I don't want to copy exactly just resemblence...

Well jacket to wings idea is nice, it's just sad you were too lazy/didn't have time/or smthing else so you couldn't make .gif of it :/ without gif it just seems farfetched, but maybe it's just me?

great sprites everyone,
Luti,Koori,Whaat and DH seems to be in prize places,they sprites are to for others
@Gad,

Who cares about the original one? It's revamping.

i don't want ''cope'' things from others,i just followed same design,i dont like to sprite on base when its for a contest

Ok, let's takeover this.

Can't really see anything bad in this, but I somehow dislike the shading.
Looks like you used too much colors for me, shading should be simple, but thrilling. Comparing shading of arms to the amount of details contained in ice columns or even his hair... Too much diversity of detail level for me.

Overall: Correct, but not impressive enough. No vote for you this time .

I made this sprite like about 2 weeks ago and still I can't find any wrong part in it beside boring shading of the ice.
Still, I'm voting for myself, since I wanna win. xD

Original Drake sprite is one of most awesome on LFE forum. It was really hard task to revamp it with nice effect.
I'm afraid you didn't cope the pressure and you ruined the sprite.
If you're revamping something that good and your skill is obviously below author's skill then try to do something more than just redrawing chara from 0. Revamping lays on your creativity also, you could have done something more, really.

- Lights - you drew them kinda weird and not beaty at all. Light on his eyes looks awful comparing to the original one.
- Hair - I totally don't like it. It looks totally disheveled, while original one is looking kinda elegant.

Overall: The sprite is almost correct and even nice, but you could have put some creativity in it, instead of just redrawing. It looks worse than the original, so I can't vote for you.

What I see first is too much dirty pixels around his hair and violin. Pose is almost proper, but you went kinda wrong with his right arm. Haven't seen anyone who plays violin like that.

I'd love to see it in that position (Click to View)

Next thing I don't like is that the shading is kinda wrong. It gives weird feeling about his right arm and alsoabout his legs (even if it's barely visable there).

Overall: Obviously worse than Apoc' work, but still nice. I like that you put something from yourself into that sprite, and he's playing violin instead of piano now. Can't vote for you because of weird position of arms (for a violin) and also not excellent shading. Good job anyway.

Hard to say anything about this sprite, since shape is really bad. Looks like you didn't spend too much time on the shaping. Also - sprite looks almost same as original one (even the position), so... It's worse than Apoc's sprite. Same, as Monolith, you could have made it more yours, since you can't compare it with Apoc's in that way. Can't say what's wrong with shading, since shape gives already very weird feeling about it's appearance.

Overall: Too short time spent on shaping and 0 creativity. Can't vote for you.


• DH

This is obviously my favourite. Everything looks excellent. Really, something like this is genious, I didn't think that you could have handle something like 3 sources of light. One thing that I don't like is that fire doesn't give red light, but something more like yellow-orange? Dunno. Seems too red for me, but that's not really a problem, when I see so nice shading, shape and details.

Overall: Almost perfect - most creative, nice shape, nice shading, nice amount of detail. Vote goes for you for sure.

You've copied the whole shape and re-edited it. Can't give any critique, since it's just re-edited original one, which is obviously better.
Can't vote for yah.


• Whaat

Totally love the position. Shape is great.
Although shading ruined the work. It gives me strange feeling that the sprite is more flat than it should be. I'm disappointed about shading, espacially on the hair.

Overall: Great shape, almost everything is nice positioned (maybe except feet, which may be kinda too small), but I don't like the shading. Sorry, this time can't vote for you.


• Bla bla bla 44

One of your best sprites, for sure. You're doing pretty well, for a beginner. But... again - not enough time spent on shaping and making it look more human-like. It became fat-armed, when the tors is thin. Shading isn't so great, but it's really nice, since you've just started spriting.

Overall: Looks almost like the original, but it's worse. Not good shape made sprite look weird. Can't vote.

Your style is clearly standing-off from original LF2 sprites. The difference lays especially on body proportions and appearance of the face. I love the position of the girl and how her hair and skirt fly. Can't find anything wrong about this sprite, beside it's not so creative, but pose saves the day.

Overall: Correct, simple and awesome. Voting for you for sure.


• LutiChris

This sprite is great, but the positioning and shape of arms looks kinda bad to me. Fortunately wings are super-uber extra shaded and detailed, so they save the day. And I don't like that wings aren't really one with the guy, looks like they're different part of sprite.

Overall: Kinda weird shape, but super-extra wings save the day. Vote goes for you.



OK. Probably longest post ever.
I really love how this contest went out.

@Monolith
You don't know what does "cope" word mean. Check your dictionary and then come talk with me again.

[Ariel]

[Gad]

Yah. Have been waiting too long already.
