Vegeta 20XX's Sprite...of Vegeta 20XX

[The Railgunner]

Yeah, that's it. Did it entirely from scratch, too - no references or anything. Just pulled out an image editor and did shit. I know the shoes look kinda weird, help on those would be nice.

My big problems:

*My hands look bad, or at least my left one does (artist's right), as I can't sprite fists/hands very well - I need help doing this pretty damn badly.
*I have a feeling that my head is too small, but that's not overly important.

And I'm 5'8", so the overall size of the sprite is probably appropriate.

EDIT: Progress as of March 15, 2010:

Well, I guess I ought to fix the left leg some day, right?



I also fixed the shoe, so my foot isn't broken anymore. Also...



Stand animation, used failed MS Paint Mugen stance as a reference.

shading is too basic

[qed murkr]

I mean basic shading is fine... it just depends on the style your going for...

but the head is kinda small.

[The Railgunner]

shading is too basic

...define "too basic". Because right now I kinda want help on how to make my head and hands bigger and all of that - shading isn't all too important right now.

If you would like, i can give it a shot and try to edit it for you?
the shoulders also need to be pulled down abit aswell.

Ok, I'll give you a shot at it.

His torso seems a bit....how can I put it....odd around the pocket areas.

I can't really explain how though.

It's a loose jacket, so there's more room in that area. In the same way, I tried to create the impression of there being a little bit of room in the sleeves, but I don't think I did so well.

But still, need help with the head and hands.

[The Railgunner]

I feel kinda like no one here tried to help me fix my hands and such - thankfully, a user over at SprAc named ZiR helped me fix all of that, among other things:



Needless to say, I'll be taking some notes from the changes made, and applying them to future sprites.





Yes, I plan on making a full sprite set, and possibly a Mugen character, of myself. I know, I'm a selfish, narcissistic douche.

I suppose the self-honesty has to count for something.

[Duo Solo]

LOL, like plain M&Ms.

Well it was just few things but I'm glad to help.

[The Railgunner]

I'm glad that you helped - I honestly didn't know what to do with the original sprite to make it look better.

Oh, and I have to say that MGBR isn't the most reliable place to upload the image - often times the image doesn't show up, thankfully I saved a copy so I can put it to later use.

[qed murkr]

i wasn't sure on how u wanted most things, so i just guesstimated.
if you make me a list of things to be included, or how things should be, im sure i can make this better.

[The Railgunner]

I'd have to say that you're a little late, as ZiR did some stuff to the sprite, and since the image URL he used wasn't too reliable, he reuploaded it somewhere else and posted it at SprAc:



This is more or less what I was aiming at, but didn't really get to. Admittedly, the hair is a little flattop-ish rather than what my hair is normally, but I can make it work in animations and such.

I like what you did with the sprite, but the head is far too large (going with fairly correct proportions here). Not that I don't like the head at all - I do, and will probably end up using it for a larger-resolution sprite, but it's far too big compared to the rest of the sprite. Also, I like what you did with the jacket, since it gives a little more emphasis on my frame (I'm pretty damn skinny, though not anorexic-skinny) and such. Also, saw the shading changes on the left (artist's right) leg, I will undoubtedly take a few pointers from this sprite, but the head IS rather large for any similarly sized sprite.

EDIT: Just noticed that you fixed my shoes - bravo, dude, I couldn't really get that right.

The head would be more appropriate for an Art Of Fighting size sprite (they're much larger than your average fighting game sprite, though not enough so to be considered high resolution) - I'll be back with a good example.

[qed murkr]

kthx.
FUFUFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
still angry with myself because i did it kinda late.


meh...

[The Railgunner]

Well, I looked at the sprite, thought about what Walt had said regarding the left leg and such, and decided to do some cleaning up, among other things:

[Anjel]

Your fists are still the same size of your head.

[The Railgunner]

Fine, fine...



There. Normal-sized hands.

EDIT:



Screwed around with the pants shading again.

Spoiler (click to show)

And my girlfriend is threatening me with a knife if I don't post a sentence with the word "kiss" in it, so there.

EDIT:



Tried my hand at a stand-to-crouch anim, as well as the crouch sprite itself.
