If you're wondering why I made the sprite from behind also, it's because when I finished the shape the sprite was ambiguous:
What I mean is that both sprites came from this shape. Amazing, isn't it? xD

"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.

But like i said: Good quality
Keep it up!
How long did it take?

Thanks.
The size of the head, dunno, it may be a little small, didn't checked the proportions exactly :p
And it took like... 30 minutes, maybe a little more, since he was not was I had in mind (I was going to make some kind of stage enemy with a lance, but scraped the idea in the process).

Hmm... would be a bit troublesome if you try to hold a lance with one arm :P
But i like the result a bit more... even if it would be interesting to get a new enemy

I recognize the stance.
Is it original, or inspired from some other sprite / art work / character? *hint hint*
Anyway, the only flaw I can find is his right arm: His elbow doesn't bend, but his hand does, so it looks rather wierd.
The shading is nigh flawless, and I like the proportions. The shoes are unshaded, but in LF2 that is legal
So yeah.
I did this to you for obvious reasons. You have just wasted a lot of time. Congratulations.
Still with the same joke? ;D - Simoneon
