New character! {Arctic Wolf}

[Pyro Lizard]

Hey guys I'm here to introduce my new character. I have a full basic sprite sheet. I would love some ideas about his skills, attacks, ect. If someone would help me with the coding that would be greatly appreciated.
Constructive critisism only plz.

On the actual char-
The hair shading is extremely weird, it looks like a bunch of tentacles...
Where are the eyes?
His shirt is just one big blob of color. You have to shade so that the sleeves don't appear to be connected to the shirt.
And what's that coming out of his back/butt?

First of all.. This isn't really.. "Constructive" critisism. I'ts more like putting the whole thing down. I made him sort of mysterious, so his eyes are covered by his hair. You act like this has no potentiel at all.. And that is a tail. I didn't really request anything. I just said it would make me happy if someone helped me make it better. I have fixed the hair and removed the tail and put shading for the arms. If you would be a little friendlier I woulden't have to be on my guard. Good day.

Huh. The shading IS a bit weird, but overall, it's pretty good. I especially like the pants. My main complaint is the lack of detail on the face (I know the eyes are covered by his hair, but the mouth should be visible.), and the sharp edges.

I think I might be able to give you some tips on the DC, but I think you should learn it yourself, it'll help you a lot in the long run. Just my opinion. And again, please refrain from making requests.

@Oliveryungo: I'm pretty sure that's a tail.

EDIT: Oooh, ninja-ed by the burning lizard.

[oliveryungo]

I told you what was wrong with the char, okay?
And 'specifics' would help a lot.
Anyway, it is a rather nice design, and if you've fixed some stuff, then post it.
I see. I thought the tail was a snake. After all, the end's a bit thicker than the rest...
If his eyes are covered, then where is his mouth? The hair doesn't hang down long enough for that.
Anyway, from what I've seen, you have potential in spriting. Hope to see you improve.

EDIT: Ninja'd by someone who's just been ninja'd!

[Pyro Lizard]

That's much better. I hope this can be all behind us. I have updated it..2..No 3 times I believe. I may have been a bit late. I have attempted to add eyes. Not very good, but at least he has eyes.

Not bad... I think the hair shading still needs more contrast, or to be redone, or something. I'm not sure what. I think the hair should probably be a darker color, maybe a light grey or something, white doesn't have much contrast with the skin color. Or, you could darken his skin a bit, that'd solve the problem too.

EDIT: Oh and one thing that seems a bit odd about it... His body, except for his face, is facing completely toward the screen. I think it should face at least a little bit to the right.

[oliveryungo]

Wait a minute....what's this doing in the sprites section? It's a char, is it not? Even if there are only sprites for now.
I see you added shading to define the arms.
Yes, as Jed37 said, it still looks as if he's having a really bad hair day...
The curve of his left arm makes as if the char has a potbelly....

[Pyro Lizard]

I made his hair and skin darker.. But I think it looks odd(er). I completly redid the hair color and shading.

Jed37 sez you should make the char angle a bit different so he's facing a bit sideways, and I agree. He's looking sideways, but if he were to walk it would be a crabwalk.
Improved face, though there's something wrong I can't pinpoint...
