Base sprites

So I'm thinking of putting together some sprites, then offering to create a small team to make a side scrolling mmorpg using netGore. So far, I'm thinking or a dark, childish kind of style, but I want it to be extremely gorey. Blood, limbs ect.

So I made these just now, any thoughts of direction? Still pretty rough. Might be too big.

Woah, those are pretty badass! I love the shading you have on the clothes, especially on the sleeve, but the shading on the face looks a little strange (seems a little drastic, like someone threw some bloom effects at him). The left leg also looks a little unnaturally smooth on the back, though that could just be the way he is standing.

In any case, that is probably one of the best side-scroller characters I have seen. Smile

Its quite, bold.
I'm impressed, as because, I have absolutely no talent when it comes to spriting largely.
The clothing is grand, but try to smooth out the colors to ease into each other. Smile

Well done though.

Wow, what kind respones xD.
Haven't had a lot of spare time lately, but got the chance to play around some more today. Smoothed things out. I was wondering, why alot of 2D games don't have smooth shading on thier pixel things, why is that? Optimization? or will it a game lag if everything has been shaded smoothly?

Just wondering, cause I smoothed him out alot more. Need to AA his outline, only playing at the moment the though.

EDIT: Loled Spodi, I was trying to give him like, really epic bags under his eyes, but it just looked someone had burnt them xD

The shading thing in other games is probably a preference thing. How your graphics look is almost absolutely no difference performance-wise. Only things that count towards performance would be the resolution (size) and pixel depth. Colors used would only increase file size.

i got to say the smoothing on the new one looks a lot better than it did before. I can't wait to see more.

@Spodi, thats a relief then, so much nicer to paint spites as if they were actual paintings. I know alot of guys like go pixel for pixel with a mouse.

@aPhro_ Thanks man. Theres more here xD.

Any critiques about her anatomy? I always seem to mess boobs up. :x

The boobs look different from one another. The right (far) boob looks flatter, while the left one looks more like a balloon. Tongue

yeh just kinda smooth the underside of the far boob and perhaps make the far outline of it near the shoulder start a bit lower down? Lovin the way you made her more curvy Tongue

really looks neat.
lower the boobs slightly and match the forms (far boob seems flatish)

great sprites btw!
