I really like your art style, Kind of reminds me of mine :$

Although Mine is no way as good ;)

On the crouching, maybe try the front foot sliding forward, and the one in the back sliding backwards? You have them getting bigger/smaller, maybe try them sliding will make it looks better?

... crouching is good the way it is, but thats my opinion... we'll see the tally of the votes in a lil while i bet...

As Tana said previously, this version of the template should not be shifting his weight to the right. Always attempt to capture realistic human movements when dealing with a 'people' template. There can be differences, however try to stick with the norm so it won't confuse people.

So what I did of course, is draw him stationary.

The pushing animation should attempt to represent something along the lines of a forced walk. It may be fine as it is if the object he is pushing is fixed (like a wall, as you already said), but rather than limit yourself to only one version, you might as well throw in strained movement.

(I realise this is a very strange example, but please bear with me.)
Here is an animation I found on google of an old janitor pushing a cart. Now while this cart may not be forcefully pushed (as a wall or a rather heavy object would be), it is still in motion because the opposing force (the janitor), is acting upon it by walking.

( Animation taken from http://oregoncitygarbageco.com )

The same instance applies to the animation of the pushing template. However seeing that the medium is "heavier", it would require the person to use much more force to move the object (think along the lines of a rounded boulder). But the leg movements, nonetheless, would remain the same.

The crouching position is fine at the moment, with the except of a few things. Rather than increasing the front leg's width when he is bending his knee, keep it consistent by increasing width of the pixels just a little and only change the shading (the left part of his front leg could stand to lose about one row of pixels). This will give the impression that he didn't all of a sudden contract elephantitis.

Oh... and for anyone that doesn't know... i FOUND my ROXAS fanpic and hath Inked him... :)

Like always, your work is impressive.

Sprite climbing down


A revised edited version of the pushing sprite...


The sprite getting ready for battle...

Please judge.. i'm working and i've take the advice i've been getting... trying to create a style of sprites is hard... but i'm learning...

I plugged your walking sprite into a game and using the reflection script the sprite is off not centered right. Looked a little off but wasn't sure till I checked ingame. Other than that, everything is looking good!

@Dayhjawk - Thank you for noticing that, i've corrected the issue... and everything looks good now...

@High Mage Vivi - I'm going to try to get to your character soon... please bond with me for a few moments.. it's been very hectic... thank you...

I've decided to come out with an Update... and some more poses to go... I think i've just about covered everything and i think my poses making is done...


For the template sitting on the edge...


For the template getting hit in the head...


Template drawing the weapon from the side...

Please Critique these sprites... it would be much appreciated...

wow your skilled man i love your art i hope one day i start drawing that goof

****Another Update****

@ Midnight - Thank you for the compliment...

More sprites have been completed... the set is coming along fine...

A front view battle stance...

Once again, please give critiques... any words will help me improve upon my sprites... i'm trying to get better...

Let's see, you asked bit of feedback right? Bit late, but here goes;

Well, let's see, the one sitting on an edge is a good idea, but remember, his lower leg can't move like that if his upper leg is in that position. And it looks a bit too long.

The hitting on the hat can do without the circle (really, it looks amateuristic on such a little template)

The drawing weapon one, well, try to see where the weapon is before you draw it, try doing it with a sprited weapon. A simple stick to prevent problems.

His chest till his feet is a straight line, change that, add more shape to the body. I know 1 pixel will make the whole sprite look different, because of it's size but at least change the rear leg.

The sideview battle stance, well, what the hell is he doing with his arm? Also, try to make it look more as a looping motion, instead of making it so schocky. Meaning let it move less.

Last one makes it a little hard to imagine for me what's it exactly doing, at first I thought it was doing excersices. Pay attention to what positions you bring his parts of his body in, and think if that is possible for a human being or not, try it yourself for example.

Well, I hoped that helped a bit.

::: Update December 4th, 2006:::

I begin this transmission with a "What happened to my Post... :("... It's cold here... very cold... frigid even... but i've done some work that i cannot show yet... (ragnarok) and i've done this piece... A friend of mines told me that my characters don't look grown enough... so i had to do at least one with him being grown and around his age (making a change from my style... huh). So this is a portrait of Joseph... I also used a new coloring tecnique that i wasn't too fond of... but i got a chance to work with my good friend, Wacom again... and that inspired the new coloring style... also please comment on the banner... i feel it's missing something but i don't know what... (I want to get into banner creation also... ':| )

Make that one more who's heart has been stolen... I absolutely ADORE this character, and I barely even know him.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/DarkSyDaZ/Logo.gif

That one.

Bit graffiti-ish wich may not fit the mood of the game, but it beats the other 2 with ease. It does fit in quite well with the profile pic as well.

Ya know....the more I look at Mikaboshi, the more I'm reminded of Haseo from .hack//G.U. .....maybe that's why i like him so much LOL Oh,a nd the third logo is my personal fav. The lettering is brilliant and reminds me of a Samauri-ish type thing, so yeah. The first one is alright too, except it just looks like you spattered some brushing and threw together some words... The second ones lettering I don't really like...it's not very catchy. So yeah, third one is my fav. I even like the gradient.

Wow man, I'm glad I checked out ur thread cause I luv your style!! keep it up

Love your style man, the character designs are really inspirational. Would you perhaps take a request for a coloured piece? I really liked the style you done Mikobishi in.
