@Alectric:
I was thinking that the 79x79 restriction does not work well with this theme. It really narrows down the options as alot of predatory animals(which would likely be the popular choice), would likely have to be larger(in relation to the human sprites) to be intimidating(Like bears, or lions, etc.)
Unless you were specifically hoping for entrants to be more of the "background wildlife" type of animals like birds and little squirrels and stuff.
(but actually this limitation kinda is forcing me to think of something more interesting, like how to make a small furry animal be frightening, I'll probably think more on that for awhile.)

Damn HC this is AWESOME! Can you make a 1920 x 1080 wallpaper from it?
Lol. It'd wouldn't scale well. I'd have to redraw it in high resolution to be useful as material for a wallpaper.

Sorry for not making myself clear. I meant that i wanted it to be in lf2 size, not the double-size some people seem to favour. So yeah, you can go bigger if you need. |
"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.

I think this calls for a revamp of Tora. I have been looking for an excuse to attack him again, let us see where this leads to.

Not really in the phase of inspiration right now. Been dealing with other issues currently, so don't expect anything from me (also, I still think about an entry for #9 :P)

No, but seriously?
Yeah sure, why not ~ Alectric
