Luigi Sprite Revamp?

[Hyogo]

Looking at Warners Sprites, It troubles me that they have such a lack of detail so last night I was messing around with his SFF and reshaded two of his sprites and his portraits. (Aperson98's version)

Anyway, First animation is the Original sprites by Warner, The re-shading being my edit.

I'm wondering, I might end up doing his full sheet (He has like what, 300 - 350 Sprites) so I wouldn't mind possibly doing all the sprites in the future.
I'm also considering adding the Color separation shown in the first sprite (It's not Indexed)

Thoughts?

I really like the way that looks

[AlexSin]

I say go for it.
Just anti alias him more.

[Hyogo]

I'll see what I can do, I'll mess around with a few more poses and see how they come out.
I probably won't do the new animations aperson added since they're kinda...bleh and weird.

Looking pretty nifty, although I'm not familair with the original char/sprites, could you add one of them in the first post for reference?

[Hyogo]

Oh sure thing, I'll do that in a moment.

[TrinitroRoy]

Looks great.
I just hope that you don't cancel this spriting project like you did with the previous one.

[Hyogo]

That was because of Drama

As I said in my art thread, I'd be motivated to get this done faster if anyone has any plans to use them.

Hyogo,that looks awesome,i had no idea you were such a good spriter.
You need to brag more,seriously.

[dakidbanks]

Looks good.. I join the list of others saying go for it

[ShiroTori]

I'd love to see you complete this too, it's looking excellent! And I'm sure, with these and davismaximus' Mario sprites in the works, there will be someone who will code solid versions of the Mario Bros.

[Hyogo]

Thanks guys, I admire the support and will be working on him sometime soon, I won't rush things so don't expect a release within a month.
(Gotta Re-shade him and remove any complicated and silly Shading that Warner originally did to his Luigi AND Color Separate him.)

Anyway, here's the last example before I go ahead and Start on his stance.
<- This is his Air LK, In my version, This will be his Air MK.

I will not be doing any of his new animations that aperson98 added to his Luigi, but if he's lacking some movements for attacks, I will edit existing sprites to make them.

we that coo ae your time an good luck bro

Looking good! Just some dark shading on his stomach (near his raised leg) that looks a bit misplaced, his belly should probably be rounder (it looks like you're more following the leg with the shading, then his stomach. If that makes sense).

Maybe you can add a pocket on his stomach as well, to add some more detail (since that's what you're going for anyway).
A bit like this:

Just an idea.

I have a sprite project thread now.

Is that feedback based on the original sprite or the one I recently posted? because the responses I'm posting are based on the recent sprite.

Thanks!
- Should I make the dark shading more round to show a-bit more of the leg's shadow? If that's what you mean. (I just used the same shading from the original sprite)
- I'll work on that, I'm not exactly the best at editing sprites but I'll give it a go, I think his belly looks fine as it is but I'll be working on more basic sprites soon so it might turn out better sooner or later.

It's a nice idea, But I think it's not really necessary, But I'll consider it to be separated from his Dungarees though but I'd like to keep it simple since the Mario Bro's designs are really simple anyway (Most of his animations are based from his Melee appearance so IIRC they didn't add pockets to him back then)
