WIP EKFM better sprites

[UltraNuparu]

Hello there! Some of EKFM's sprites look bad. they did not really fit the character. So I made a better ones:



What do you think?

[TRUEMicah]

This sprite is extremely basic.
Proportion and shading problems are everywhere.  You should probably redo this sprite altogether IMO.

I made some for him:

Tell me. Does his hand look weird? Just to let you know, I am a beginner at drawing this kind of stuff. What do you think about his hand (the original one looks bad)?

[AlexSin]

Next time uncheck the "merge posts" option under the post box to bump your topic if you want to let us know about any update you have.

It looks better than the one in ekfm, but you should fix the end of the hand (fingers). I can't understand if the radio is in his hand or what else.

Here, I fixed it a bit.

Thanks for your good advice! By the way here are some sprites I edited from G.O.D.'s single sprite:



If something looks wrong tell me.

Remember that the light only comes from the top. So the arms haven't the right shading on your edits.
Also be careful about the hands, you should sprite various ones for the poses you want him to do instead of using pre existing ones, otherwise there could be some errors, like in the second sprite, in the second row.

By the way, I'm G.o.D., I changed the username

And I have done some other sprites for the "radio" pose:

The underlined ones are to be used, the others are stuff I was trying to make (like a new turned face, a hand).

[UltraNuparu]

Thanks but I already have one:



I will use yours anyway. By the way I fixed the shading a little:



The reason I am using pre-existing hands is because I am terrible at drawing them. If I drew the hands they would be fists. Tell me, Are the the sprites better or are there still a lot of problems?

[The_Heartbreaker]

The anatomy could be a lot better..

[UltraNuparu]

The body is fine, I am talking about the shading. What do you think Alex S.?

[AlexSin]

Arms are too straight.

[The_Heartbreaker]

the body AREN'T fine. Look at the size of the arms and the form of the shouders.

[UltraNuparu]

I want to focus on that later. Right now I want to focus on making this better:



What do you think?

What do you think Alex S.?

Is the foot supposed to look like it's in motion, or is it growing spikes or some stuff?

[The_Heartbreaker]

Legs are too straight, anatomy still could be better, the shadding too. BUT you're better a little..

[TRUEMicah]

IMHO, those sprites are actually worse than the previous sprites.
I don't mean to be crude but you need to put forth more effort into these sprites.  Take note of what users ad seasoned spriters such as Heartbreaker and G.oD give you.
- The Anatomy of the leg is entirely off.
- The red inner circle isn't even symmetrical. 
- The shape of the spikes are everywhere.

Take your time and have patience as you sprite.
Before you start to improve these, you should improve your last sprites 1st.  Good luck bro.

I am working on the chain-saw part of the leg but be more specific, what leg should I fix?, how can I improve the sprite?, what's wrong? I am a beginner at making this kind of stuff so I might not know what is wrong and I will need lots of hints and tips.

The leg that should be fixed is the leg that is chaging into the chain-saw since it looks too big if you look at it from the fist frame to the last you'll see what me, heartbreaker, G.o.D, truemicah mean. Also the shading needs work. Example of it is where is the light coming from on your sprites which makes the sprite look weird. Furtermore, the spikes like they same in afew frames big and the other they are small and the next after that they are mixed with small and larger spikes. Lastly, are the spikes moving at all? since it doesn't seem like they are in the whole sprite frames you have layed out there.

[UltraNuparu]

I fixed the shading and spikes and stuff but I cannot make the leg look any skinnier without making the body look weird and the leg looks fine to me. By the way the arm of ekfm in the standing back sprites looks fine to me and I made small improvements. here is a sample (making the whole sheet takes too much time):



Tell me, what do you think?

[AlexSin]

Add details to the arm, it's a straight line right now.
