Ready Stance for Mage
I was looking in the Art Development area of the forum, admiring the art, when I saw a post about giving the Rouge a 'ready stance' when it's near enemies, and decided to try to make one for the Mage.

Re: Ready Stance for Mage
Flame, this is the sort of thing that belongs in art workshop, at least until you get a bit more experienced at the pixel pushing.
I'll leave the critique to those more recently versed w/ pixelart, but a few quick things:
1) long straight lines/tubes (the viewers' left sleeve) look unnatural and 'off'
2) the shading of that arm makes it looks almost like a 2x4 board, the way the highlights outline a rectangle, which further reinforces the problem from point 1.
Good luck working on this!^_^

I have no idea what he is doing, it should be obvious from the image. His right hand is very weird, looks like a block or log. I don't like the magic glow/smoke/bubbles, if such a thing is appropriate at all then it should be animated, it should certainly not be still

Re: Ready Stance for Mage
I got rid of the magic sparkles, and tried to make the arm look less like a board. I also made his eyes glow TC, as glowing eyes are a common way of showing magic in some fantasy.
