I think he shouldn't have the light shading on his crotch, since it tapers in I think it should be all dark.Nah just look at Piccolo, most characters have color seperation, so there's not really a color limit.It does usually cap at 4 shades per color (5/6 in the case of the skin color).
A slight edit, to your edit.I added a knot for the rope.I also added a bit of the light to the blue shirt colar. The Son Goku sprite has it so I think this should have it too.I spent most of today animating. This is what I have so far.I am still not done. I wanted to do something fancy with his right hand turning towards him, but it doesn't look so great. I plan to animate his left arm, hand, and torso along with his head.

Original sprite done by BalthazarThey are probably a lot of problems with it still, but I think its a good start.Tbh, you just fucked it up. Likiji and Komaru before that actually had a somewhat decent start, the movement you put in Krillin can't even be done in real life. I even tried to do that stance just a second ago, and couldn't even pull my leg like Krillin. Rather, it was better to refine the movement Likiji put into his version, and make it so that the breathing looks more natural.I think you can honestly do better than that, don't take what I said the wrong way.yeah, sorry, I was trying to come up with something with minimal effort XDSorry. Was I right with the breathing?
Agreed, it's a great start, Jared. GOD984 said, February 03, 2016, 04:40:07 pmyeah, sorry, I was trying to come up with something with minimal effort XDSorry. Was I right with the breathing?Well kinda, you're missing the animation in the chest. When you breathe, your chest also rises with you (not so much, but subtle manner kind of thing. Take a look at Geese Howard's CvS idle sprite. That's literally where I learned how to make a breathing sprite, I shit you not. Analyze it, try to apply what you see with him to other sprite, and see how it goes. There is also the sub pixel animation tutorial which I highly recommend you take a look at.
minimal effort never does any good GOD, lazy efforts always tend to look bad, just take your time and practice, nobody is rushing you. if you keep on going with the whole "spriting is hard! im just gonna try as little as i can!" mindset, your sprites will always look like shit [/truth]all you have to have is patience.
I really like this one.I took the pole bounce out. It was flopping around too much.Here is a forward walk progress 01. That was too thin so made the body wider.
Disregard all missing elements for the moment and just look at these questions:1) Am I going in the right direction?2) How's the hair looking?3) I'm seriously confused at how to handle the shading of the face. What should be done regarding that? Mid-tone, no shades, what should be shaded exactly?Oh and by the way, this was drawn from scratch. Can you guess the pose inspirations (only 2 characters, an anime one, and a fighting game one).
the body looks nice but his hair should be a LOT bigger than that and the nose shouldn't be as pointyoh and fix up those hands, they look deformed, other than that it's looking real nice so far
Iced said, February 20, 2016, 11:39:13 pmlooks like shigen?Nope. I'll give you a hint: A rapid punching anti-thesis to a character that went on a very strange journey throughout the world.Scratch 2, it's more likely one, since the second inspiration can't exactly be seen, the first one is more obvious.walruslui said, February 20, 2016, 11:39:32 pmthe body looks nice but his hair should be a LOT bigger than that and the nose shouldn't be as pointyI see. Hopefully I'll be able to enlarge the hair without fucking up. walruslui said, February 20, 2016, 11:39:32 pmoh and fix up those hands, they look deformedleft, right or both? (I'm pretty sure you mean the right (viewer)).
