Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. The point is to see whether I actually learned something, and what better way than to take a shitty sprite you made and do it again from scratch? I can't really see what's wrong with the left viewer fingers other than how the outlines separating the fingers apart, didn't he always have big hands tho? I can definitely see how I fucked up the right viewer hand tho.I'll get to it later on, thanks. Oh and apologies for being a broken record, but I didn't get any answer to my face question. How should I go about shading the face?
I think you should take a good look over shigen sprites actually. http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/shigen-a.htmlyour hair looks strange and the face looks huge ompared to the rest of the head. lines are a bit odd on the arms as well. Sometimes something simpler looks better even if you are breaking down the original design to a more coherent one for sprites.

One of the great things about the humanoid Dragon Ball characters is that most of their faces look very similar. I recommend imitating the shading to Piccolo's forward walking sprite. He is standing up right like your Broli. So the lighting should hit in the same areas.Here is a sprite from 2012 of Broli Balthazar did.http://balthazar321.deviantart.com/art/Broly-Z2-redone-312296523I think you got his proportions pretty close to. The thing is Z2 style has changed a bit since this sprite was made.
Yo I like a lot of things, mostly the body proportions, and his torso looks badass (he could probably stand to lose that 'extra' line on his biceps).-The skirt is too long, both the part you colored in and the uncolored flap need to be only half that lenght, a google image search would tell you that. -Also the hair, as pointed out, is way too short and the pieces are too short and too thin. This small hair makes him look very 'american' styled.-Oh and yes the face has some problems. The ear is way too tiny. The nose might actually be a passable size, but you shouldn't draw the nostril holes.-His hand on his left (viewer's right) has his thumb covering the knuckle of the finger next to it, that's not really how you make a fist, the thumb should be past the knuckle (well sorry not really 'knuckle', but the finger joint in the middle).-The expression of his mouth also comes off as too 'american' imo. Concidering the size, I think you can stand to make the gem/bubble/circle on his belt to be a little big larger.That are the off-looking things, again, overall I think you really have something cool going, hope you can improve on it! Good luck!
Alright then, how's this?Am I getting closer at least, is it something I can take off from and edit any small line art mistakes along the way worthy, or do I need to go back to the blackboard?
the hair needs to be more "wild and erratic" look at EB Broly's hair for reference.you made his nose even pointier than before lolHis viewers left peck is a bit too low compared to his viewers right.this is just me but i feel that the shoes are a bit too pointy.everything else looks just fine, keep it up
(Pointy shoes??)I can definitely add more strands of hair, but is it at least big enough? Do I need to enlarge it more (and in other words, redraw it again)?Everything else can be fixed easily. Thanks.
cool but i think his hands, waist, and legs are a little smallthe hands are smallnice changes Bathazar

The proportions are spot on.Balthazar said, February 22, 2016, 09:33:36 amI made some changes, this is pointing you more in the right direction, study these changes !(not for Balthazar, I'm just quoting the last sprite)Isn't his right hand (viewer's left) wrong in perspective?Balthazar's face is definitely an improvement over the old one.Also I agree that the legs are short.

The proportions are spot on.I based the walk on this animation I found. Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyI thought it fit the personality of the character so I copied it frame by frame. I wanted him to do a care free strut since he is a character from a gag manga.
Sin- said, February 22, 2016, 01:18:08 pmI like it, but it could use more folds around the inside of the elbow, and back of the knee.I would look at Terry Bogard's sprite for reference. They fit close on the thigh, and calf, but lose under the calf.Like Ralf in my avatar.
So far so good? I know the right (viewer) arm needs a bit of fixing at the bottom, that'll be taken care of swiftly.How are the hair and hands? Another question I have is how would any of you handle the lighting of his retarded skirt? I was thinking a high usage of mid tones colors in place of light colors, but I have no idea.I referred to Piccolo for Broly's pants, since that's the newest work by Balthazar.Alpha Proto said, February 22, 2016, 02:16:05 pmI based the walk on this animation I found.

teh shading on dem folds Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltythe nitpick in me thinks you could prob improve the shading done on the right (viewer left) leg. the fold angle seems odd for that stance but that's just me.
