Did u use any character as a base? If no, u should try that first. Because doing a first sprite, just on scratch is very hard .

So here: (trying to do the same thing as bp did with chase ^^)



We'll begin with comparing to the right.

- As u can see, his waist is way too low. U should make the pants larger.
- Second, the beginning of his head (the neck actually ^^) Is also way too low. Make ur upper body taller. (same as pants)
- And last, the hair at lf2 sprites are mostly also a bit.. more volumous..
- Ah, and I forgot to put lines at the proportion of the head itself, but u can see that the heads at lf2 sprites are much smaller. (And it has ears )

Now comparing down.

As u can see His right foot is way too much to the right.. It kind a looks like hes doing a split or something . So if u move it more the left, it should be okay.
Also try to move the place right under his navel (^^) more to the left .

And then the usually sh*t (most problemous with everyone ^^) The shading .
But that did freeza already mention in his oh-so detailed post ' ... (just kiddin)

And yea.. The head.. U'll have some work on that, I'm afraid. The eyes are a bit weird and the shape is a bit out of tone too.. Just look at the davis sprite .

Just keep one working, and u'll become better and better!

Oh yea, And welcome to the lfe-forum!!

But that's what you have to expect when you're asking for getting better. I strongly recommend you to have a look into the sprites-section, not only for shading tips but also for nailing down the exact proportions. With that being said, nice attempt for a first sprite

[chase123]

why don't you make your sprite move to the right like davis does then it will look a lot like lf2 sprites.

pro's:

1.it is your first lf2 sprite
2.you made it from scratch.
3.you tried
con's:

1.the proportions are wrong
2.his head is facing left (right from his perspective) not right side (left from his perspective).
3.shading need's some improvement
4.hair needs to be big.

all in all..i think that it is a good sprite.

No Offence but, SkelGuardian is truly right. u should start with a base.
otherwise he's looking or gonna look like a potatoe.
Tip ; A good and i mean good base is Firen. hes' got awsome kicks!!!
good combo's.
Problem ; If ur gonna re-color him, ur gonna go crazy!!
What i mean is to much, way to much mesy pixels.

-Hope that 1st post of mine should help u out.
