Do you draw these from memory or with a reference?

i drew bowser and chauncey's rocking horse with a reference image. the rest was from memory

Looks really good but that is a pointy tongue.

Tongue is too pointy.

only one other person that's seen this has told me that, and he was talking more about the shading, not the actual shape of the tongue. this has lead me to think you're talking about where it starts inside the mouth, so i might as well tell you that rounding it out would make it look odd and not very appealing

It just looks like the tongue gets really thin as it goes deeper. Look at this boo. [spoiler][img]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/agk/images/b/b0/BooNSMBU.png/revision/latest?cb=20130208213431[/img][/spoiler] It doesn't get that thin as it goes in.

that's a 3D render, which naturally allows more detail than a 40x40 sprite (actually a 36x38 sprite, but you get what i mean). how i did the tongue is probably one of the more sensible ways of doing it, instead of just having it be an oval with increasingly dark shading. the tongue getting thinner is an illusion that's trying to convey depth. maybe you should try and make an edit of what you think it should look like, and i'll see what i can do, ok?

I think the sprite looks really professional actually

I was thinking something along the line of this. [img]http://i.imgur.com/AYrNqjg.png[/img]

-snip- Look It's Kid Icarus

I love it

*grump icarus Sorry for not following up to the earlier question about references earlier- what I meant to advise is pretty much using a reference whenever possible to get proportions more accurately, and get closer to the overall design. (For drawings, mostly.) ...of course, you could mess with those proportions some, but it's still important to have your audience recognize what you're depicting. (Not that your drawings are even bad, but some things did look off in one of your characters.) I don't know of any of that makes sense, I haven't given advice over using references before. Oh, and your King Boo sprite looks spot-on.

Judging from the Boo sprite, I think you are capable of spriting in ML BIS style.
