The shield looks like he is holding it away from himself. Is that on purpose? :? Also the shield seems a little small for the overall figure.

A few tweaks here and there, removed the rust (maybe I'll do the rusty version later), and tested it out in-game.

Wait until you see my next one. :wink:

EDIT: Well, I decided to make him smaller than I'd originally planned. :roll:

Yay! A really like the ghoul. He is fun. But it seems to me that the head is in a bit of wrong angle(I mean that the angle of head is not coresponding with the body.) In my opinion the jaw should be a bit more to the left(left for us, not him) and the upper part of the head more to the right. As it is, it looks like the head is on diagonal line through the body.
(Or it is supposed to be that way. Or I am wrong and its something else. Not very helpful, eh? :? )

The head, like Lu Mong said, is ever so slightly tilted.

His head also seems to be resting on his sternum.

On the contrary, that is quite helpful. Good eye. :) Here I've added some: warts, craters, bumps, lumps, humps, and other miscellaneous disfigurations, in addition to turning his head a pixel or two and brushing the shading up a bit.

*runs into the room in a fluster*
Phew, I'm here! What did I miss?

:P


Wow, the axeman looks GREAT! :D
Thanks so much!! :mrgreen:
You've met all my sprite needs for now... I'll leave you alone now. :P


And the ghoul is... interesting. Maybe it's just me, but something just doesn't look right about the form/posture... but I can't place my finger mouse pointer on it. :hmm: :)

edit: minor grammar correction. :roll:

Warning: He's, like, HUGE. I'm still finishing up Zero's sprite, so if you want to you can use that instead, once I've finished it.

Heeheehee, I didn't notice that (probabIy 'cause I've never watched that show). I guess I should say something witty here, but I can't think of anything, so you guys will have to make do with: I did it all for Mommy. :P

I'm not really satisfied with it either. Hmm, he's supposed to be leaning forward (plus he's kinda hunchbacked anyway), but I guess that isn't working. I'll try moving his head up and reworking the legs (why do I always end up redoing the legs? :P ).


EDIT: I was bored. Guess who this is? :P
