Happy new year, everyone. A new-ish sprite to start the year and lots to come. Trying to keep my motivation. Balthazar's Gohan as a base, so credit goes to him.

Edit:
My first attempt at animation ever. Used Daeron's awesome Gotenks sprite as reference. I haven't touched the "tail" yet, I'll animate that when I'm more comfortable. Any general feedback is appreciated (the pants mainly :O).

Hmmmm, I guess I'll be doing some work on both sprites. Thanks for the input guys.
Edit: I've been busy with real life stuff, but here's a quick cleanup and I updated the OP.

I've been trying to figure out what his idle stance should be for a while now, and originally I wanted the Gotenks stance:
But I don't think I like how this turns out, so I did some cut and paste of Balthazars SSJ3 Vegeta and Super Buu (and some of my own) to come up with this. It fits nicely side-by-side with other Z2 characters and is one of the few stances he uses in the anime. I'll upload the cleaned up version and the other updated sprites probably tomorrow afternoon. Progress!

I just updated the nose on all my sprites. Now with your permission Blind I'll be updating all my sprites to fit with the pants you drew.
Thanks guys!

Looks great guys! I'm a bit conflicted though. Blind's sprite is cleaner but Alex's sprite feels slightly more "Z2" to me.

That is indeed his head-tail. Maybe I should move it slightly to the left so it's more obvious.

This will help, thanks again. I haven't done too much animating yet but I plan to once I get Buu looking as good as I can.
Edit:
This is still rough, but am I on the right track? Mainly the shading, as that's the more difficult part to get.

Update:
New pants, do they look okay? Also changes to the face and yellow on the vest.

That's true, he does use the ghosts but I think in general is fighting style is much more straightforward than Buutenks. Kinda like Gohan, he just charges at his opponent most of the time. Again, choosing Buutenks was mostly just personal preference .
@Alex Sinigaglia I was aware of most of that except the nose thing. That might be a result of the palette change i just applied.

Any reason in particular for picking out buutenks?
I like how lanky you make him at times.
I chose Buutenks simply because I like his design and the variety his potential moveset could have (the ghost, kamehameha, special beam cannon, energy rings, eye lazers).
Buuhan would be kind of boring, I think. But maybe that's just me.

Edit: As of now this isn't a project so I figured this would be the best place.
I didn't want to keep bumping the Z2 Sprite thread so I'm going to be posting here. Constructive criticism is very welcome, as this is the first thing I've ever sprited so I'm still learning.

I think I got the bagginess and boots right (thanks to one of your SSJgoku sprites). Proportions are still an issue. Hard to draw someone with a thin build in Z2. Sprites look okay on their own but don't completely fit in with the rest sometimes. Gonna work on it.

Maybe if I adjust the pants a bit it will make the boots easier to get right. Thanks for the help, though!
Also, I don't think he's too tall, just maybe a bit too thin? Buu doesn't look too out of place up next to Balthazar's Piccolo sprite. The sprite on the far right was just a quick horizontal stretch but I think it looks better in terms of Z2 proportions.
I'm also thinking of starting the idle sprite from scratch. Doesn't feel right to me.

Are you planning to do a whole sheet? I know its a kind of question spriters hate but you seem to be working on a project, so I think its not a bad question here.
I'm not talented or efficient enough to take this on as a project I just really dig the character, and what Balthazar and the other guys are doing with HDBZ.
@HQ He's actually floating in the air during this, so his feet kinda have to dangle. I'll give it another crack though, thanks for the suggestions.
Edit: Would it be better for me to make a thread elsewhere? I don't want to keep bumping the thread or annoying the people that have subscribed to it

Thanks^^^ I'm doing my best to get better (and to keep this thread alive). Here's another one I'm working on. Can't seem to get the boots to look right 
Buu charging his ghost move. Looks pretty funny out of context.

A couple new sprites and a couple edits. Slowly getting the hang of things.
Credit again to Zero De Armentis and obviously Balthazar.
