What is that pixelated UI-like you have? Do you add it yourself? Why? I'm very curious !

Wow its been a while... Anyways I thought I might get back to creating things, so here is the wip of a drake I drew. If anyone can give critique I would really appreciate that!

First impression IMHO is that the wings look more birdlike than batlike when I compare with existing images?
Also would be useful (for me anyway) to see the sprite actual size without scaling.
FInally the clothing/armour to me falls between two stools (have a look at the portraits, especially blademaster, flameheart and glider).
It's not entirely clear to me whether it's some sort of padded armour or just clothing - it's fine as it is but depending on the unit's usage it could perhaps be tweaked to make it more armour-like or clothing-like as appropriate?
I am being picky tho' - it looks good overall!
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

I knew something was off with them! Thank you

Tbf its pretty much exactly what the hurricane has. I read the hurricane as wearing chainmail and clothing which is a bit strange, I agree.

here you go (ignore the right arm, i am working on fixing that)

Mmm... looking at the 1.19 sprites and portraits I see what you mean.
FWIW I focused on the portraits...

Thanks - sadly bit busy right now, will have a proper look tomorrow with luck.

Happy New Year!

Cheers!

OK, have a bit of time now.

This feedback is based on looking at your actual size sprite, not the enlarged one.

Looking at the (1.19) sprites there is - to me anyway - a fair bit of variation in the snout/nose area.
However I still think the head overall looks, maybe, a bit too rhinoceros-like?

The head also looks bolted onto the torso although again several drakes don't seem to have much by way of necks?
Not sure exactly what I find a bit off; maybe try shortening the nose/snout and/or changing the jawline to suggest the neck area more clearly and/or square off the mouth?
The headgear/hat area is also - for me anyway - difficult to decipher and I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at: some sort of bobble-hat or head horns covered in some material?

Sorry that I can't be more precise, I'm no artist.

I suppose all I can say is that I find the head area generally a bit confusing and somehow a bit out of proportion but not sure whether removing detail and/or re-shaping is required.

Out of interest, are you planning to create a full set of sprites or will you just be doing this one?

Hope my random witterings are helpful!

Cheers!
