Hi res Alpha Ryu...

[Yang]

Not done yet, but I could use critique.

[Shamrock]

You are missing an important color. Look at his right arm. The darkest color is gone making the image a little flat. Some of the blending from light to dark is killing depth. Right hand is a good example. Yours looks like a glob where the pixelated one has depth. Might want to define those areas and the toes more. The neck is missing color and suddenly there is a line there instead of a neck. there is a third color that you added to the legs make part of his leg look like it s glowing.

All in all that is not bad, but it has that vector trace look to it.

as regards the sprite, don't misunderstand me but I think you should put more efforts in each part and take it really slowly. also it would be better to try low-res spriting before going into high-res and try to satisfy an audience which is already satisfied by KOFXII sprite art and keeps his ass here just to piss off people with their 'lols' and shit.
anyway my suggestion is still the same: approach spriting slowly, really slowly. What comes out first at the eye of the viewer who sees your work is the efforts you put on it (or at least isn't it what you're looking for?). if you are a beginner, begin with something smaller, try to edit something and don't come out of your work until it satisfies you in primis.

and I'm not telling you this just because "oh I'm so fuckin' skilled I kick ass". I tell you this being (almost, not completely ) aware of the mistakes (I think) we share.

Well, this is the point of posting it criticism. Not to 'visually please' anybody, but to get criticism on how a WIP can be made better. The point of the WIP is not to sastify anyone, if you've taken it that way, you miss the point. Perhaps the point of the final thing will be, but like I said this is a WIP.

And 'LOL' is a useless comment. Wow, Dexter Zorc, you can write 3 letters your so great. Is that supposed to be funny? If so, you really should get some jokes that are actually funny.

[moolambo]

this is actually my point, and satisfaction is the primary aim (that can be followed by aquiring criticism). I just say that requiring criticism when the work is undone even for the author can make the author need criticism for the rest of his work. This is a damage to that individuality and self-confidence that lies behind the 'artistic attitude' and that really gives satisfaction.
Posting scratches in a place where you can obtain tons of lols by 'people which never actually tried' is risky, you know.  

and anyway please yourself, please God or please the others... that's kinda the same as action, just different in the effect according to each one's personality...

[Retro Respecter]

Impressive, but it could use some improvement.

[Byakko]

Fact : this sprite is ugly and deformed. It's too far away from looking correct or even looking like Ryu. Screwed up eyes-nose-mouth, broken shapes, unneeded outlines, pillow shading, sausage toes, and generally speaking, deformed everywhere : if you want comments, the most pertinent ones you could get would be either "dump this and start over properly" or "lol" because there's just too much to say. This doesn't even look like a human being. This is just bad. It's as much a "WIP" as a kid throwing paint buckets on a wall.

So yeah, if you feel butthurt when someone just says "lol", it's your problem. There's no real comment one could make other than that, because there's just too much to do, aside from just starting over. Check your shapes, check the materials (tissue should be done differently from a human body) check your anatomy, check your shading.

[Jessy]

this is better than things that I do...
the face and the foots specially..

ARC?

anyway..the shading  is not bad...I think..

[DM]

First of all, how is the mouth and such screwed up? Have you even seen the Alpha 3 portrait of Ryu's face? I think you should take a look. And yes, it's WIP. Do you know what that means? Work in Progress. It isn't going to be perfect, yet you people criticizing assumes it will. Seriously though, I don't think there's anything wrong with the face. Looks normal to me, maybe you're just being overly critical. I agree on everything else, but I don't understand the face thing.

And stop defending 'lol'. That to me just says you're too dumb to give advice so you just say three words. It's the definition of spam.

[Jessy]

no...well he needs work..you not perfect, ok..but
you can do better than it, the shading is not bad in the clothes..but need work in the face and foots specially...and some wrong things..

Haha, well that face is kind of worst. I'm going for an anime style face anyway.

[Shamrock]

You guys are fucking assholes.
