I have decided to make this topic in order to not exploit the Sprites/Art WIP Topic, and to have my own art topic :agree: . [img]http://i.imgur.com/O1jzSDo.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/l8TepyV.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/IPkAIRW.png[/img]

It looks good!... But I still think there should be light on his arm when he's capeless...

[spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/vnG8BsQ.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/grZlHXj.png[/img][/spoiler] I would specially like to receive some hints to make him look more crystal-like. Trying to do that is driving me crazy.

I've never heard of this guy, but he looks pretty good. I like how you redesigned him. Take a look at this picture, particularly the top left.

You can divide your guy into planes, decide how much light is hitting each plane, and shade it accordingly. This, and some more saturated darker colors, should provide a crystalline look.

It's been a while since I posted something here: [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/7zx040w.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/vF0cywR.png[/img][/spoiler] Thoughts?

I think it could make use of more colors an more shading on the arms and hands, plus more contrast. :)

More colors? Where?

So... colours. Generally, there are two main things to keep in mind when choosing colours to shade with: 1. Lighter colours are more saturated than darker colours. 2. The hue of your colours should be different. Almost all lightsources have a hue (usually yellow). Lighter colours' hues should be closer to that of the lightsource, and darker colours', further away. This picture probably explains it better than I can.

It provides good examples of many colours of ramps. [spoiler][img]http://pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/pokemonbycure.png[/img][/spoiler]

A small, quickly sprited head of Tatanga, made with the purpose of practising contrast. [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/RAFTHqC.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/LX74pnf.png[/img][/spoiler] So... as you may have already guessed, I'd like to receive some criticism directed towards the contrast.

I recommend making the eyebrows thinner near the pupils and the teeth thicker.

YAHOO! Even more pixel art! [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/gQFeDAe.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/pJgPN7H.png[/img][/spoiler] What are your thoughts on this one?

Very intriguing to be honest (especially considering it's Luigi). The only problem is that the colors are so bland to the point where it seems to look lifeless. I would reccomend trying out different colors, while also adding more clear shading.

[quote][spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/gQFeDAe.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/pJgPN7H.png[/img][/spoiler] What are your thoughts on this one?[/quote] I love the shape and perspective. You've successfully painted Luigi as a cigar-smoking hard-ass. Suggesting improvements though. [b]Outline:[/b] Your outline switches between way too many different colors. None of these colors add to the depth or the shading of the piece. I've made it completely black to demonstrate just how unnecessary it is. [b]Color:[/b] Incredibly washed out, single-tone, and desaturated. Saturate your colors, lower your palette count, and try hue-shifting the lighter colors from the darker ones to add vibrance. [img]https://s11.postimg.org/wvj8owsj7/luigi.png[/img] I've dropped the color count from 21 to 10 while also making the image look much more lively. Try changing the colors around! You'd be surprised by how much of a difference it can make.

That's scary. There should be some more shading on his jaw and hat.

That looks like a mix between Malleo, Toon Malleo, and Fortran... ([size=50]I really shouldn't know so much about memes...[/size]) Anyway, It looks okay to me. But as Physix said, some more contrast colors might help. But I guess dull colors kinda fits what the sprite's going for. I'm not really sure.
