The lord of Chaos and Death... has a hovering piece of paper?
Your sprites are awesome, but you should really improve your naming.

you rly don't know DeathNote, do ya? gad didn't name him like that, it actually IS his name
and he's named like that because if he knows somebodys face and name and writes that name down in his book (not a hovering paper) that person dies within 40 seconds, so he can actually kill everybody, it has some limitations, but that's the basic

isnt that deviljin from tekken? (slap me if im wrong)

You don't need to be slapped. Yes it is Deviljin. lol.

Anyway Blue's entry = good .
Legion actually made me laugh, sorry Frog.

[Alectric]

Don't know where did these "dirty pixels" in last frame come in. :/ In real sprites there is nothing in that place.

hey Gad
i'm making Kira ,too
but.... watch and learn

[Alectric]

i dont know about you guys, but that guy doesnt really inspire fear of the "true final boss" kind. just my opinion...

anyway, once julian was defeated, his body bubbled and boiled and swelled. his clothes shredded as his body slowly disfigured.

i dont like it, so i might do another one.

[Apocalipsis]

Probably I'm gonna enter with this:

Necromancer Julian.


I may animate it (that's why I asked for more time, also because I won't be able to advance with it until saturday/sunday).

V Yeah, me too.

[Gad]

Reminds me of:

but.... watch and learn

I'm realy gonna dislike you, if you'll be so confident about your sprites.
I don't know, maybe you are better, but there is no need to vaunt.
I can't learn anything from you, cause you can't write a tutorial. That's sad.

Haha, welcome to the Julian-pire!
Screw the fact that there are so many villains out there; when we can base our ideas on Julian

Really awesome entries of you two, Alec and Apoc! Although, @Alec, I am not quite sure about what the red dots are supposed to be eyes ~ Alectric, the mask at the side, almost invisible, is a great idea! If possible, go with the lighter strokes a little more into detail thanks, ill try that now ~ Alectric

Ah, great to see a Julian in Apoc-style. Your way of designing characters has become so distinguishable, it's almost scaring. As for the sprite itself; there is little left to say for me. The only part that I personally would shade a little more would be the cape. Yet, it does interfere with what I am used to see from you, so it is fully up to you to decide upon what can be added and what not. Another splendid work!

SirFrog, a really nice background-story. I am afraid, however, that this is essential for knowing what the character is to represent. Now that I know what he is supposed to be, I can identify each part but to those who did not read the background story, it might merely be, I am sorry to say so, a mess. Well, we're here to help people improving their work, so let's go: equip the red body parts with some pastell-red colors. Give it the impression of being inner body parts turned out. As for a reference (caution, gore ahead, might not be suitable for younger audience), either enter "gore" into google while having the safe-search turned off, or simply check the covers of a Death Metal band named "Cannibal Corpse". You will get an impression of how the stuff looks like
So besides that nifty details possible, shading seems to be an issue. I can't see any noticeable shading around the feet. Do not fear of taking brighter colors, they do make the difference!

Gad, in general, your sprite looks quite good. A major thing which is bugging me, though, is the fact that he seems to literally have to neck at all. I am fairly sure, albeit I have not watched Death Note, that the characters there do have a neck. The character's right arm looks a little stiff when he moves it back into the starting position. Other than that, a really nice sprite. In order to clear things up from the start, it might have been better for those who do not watch the aforesaid series to give them at least some sort of introduction

alec: nice entry looks like a mutant julian lol...
apoc: you win apoc! ur entry rocks and it just fits as a final boss...

@betit: we know ur sprite is better than gad's but no need to rub it in gad's face...thats a matter of opinion only. ~ Alectric

[YinYin]

quick character:
breath, walk, injured, falling
and this shall be his only attack
instant kill
