Help me get better at sprite art!
Well, I need to improve my sprite art (as a hobby). I will start off with recoloring and 100% Frankensteins (and a bit of hand drawn fixes) and move on to partial Frankensteins.
I've started and I made some sort of snow/front/ice crawler. Next week, I'll try make a frankie... any critique (even mean ones) welcome! --->

Well, we can get critique your work, but really the only thing that's gonna make you better is practice, practice, practice.
The frost blob looks solid for a frankenstein, but it could use some detail.
I would start by improving the eyes - a straight up blotch of purple does not make good eyes. Try more shading.
I wouldn't say the eyes should be purple, myself though. It looks rather strange in contrast to the blue.

It's more of a recolor than a Frankie, and it's really hard to crit a simple recolor because all you really changed was the pallete. Maybe a bit oversaturatwd without enough contrast.
Edit: also, have you never heard of teamcolor before?

Never mind then.

Monsters generally don't need teamcolor...

Yes, it's just a recolor

IMHO it could look nice, if the eyes had this cyan-like glow in them (like steam or something). Their internal frost emanating from the eyes, almost as if they were colder, than the rest of them.Issyl wrote: I would start by improving the eyes - a straight up blotch of purple does not make good eyes.

As for the rest, I'd suggest, that you made the character a bit "bulkier" or give it a bit sharper, more pointy edges, as if it was just a big, animated lump torn out from a big bulk of ice.
