idk, but it looks so... unnatural.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Jovian-12 - 01-25-2010
it's the eyes that creep me out. as a film technique, someone standing front view and staring straight ahead is a very intimidating and creepy thing, and I'm sure that's not what you're going for. front view is fine but the eyes could use some more life in them. perhaps looking around, blinking, maybe smaller pupils. a change in the mouth (maybe just opening it a little and then closing, as if talking or smiling) could help too...the face is just pretty jarring.

okay.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Baegal - 01-25-2010
I don't know what it keeps doing to the colors, but please ignore that.
I think I fixed the body, but i'm going to start over on the head

Sorry for all of the blank space, for some reason I couldn't crop it this time :/
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - GrooveMan.exe - 01-25-2010
Yeah, the head, instead of having the sides slide up and down, should actually rotate slightly from side to side. Yes, that'll mean redrawing most of the head to do it.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Baegal - 01-25-2010
I think I fixed it.

oh, I didn't see your post, Groove. I'll fix that later, im feeling pretty tired for today.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Cobalt Blue - 01-25-2010
the hair and feet make no sense whatsoever, and you know thats a terribly lazy way to animate it.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Baegal - 01-25-2010
Hmmm....now that I look at it, you're right. Do you have any suggestions on how I could make it better?
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Chdonga - 01-25-2010
Have the hair bounce up and down or make her rock side to side.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Cobalt Blue - 01-25-2010
i really did this in a hurry, but i think it should give you a few ideas on how you should work the character

It's just an idle pose for an overworld sprite facing forward. I understand the body, but the face looks odd to me. I'll definitely work on it, though

I tried using metaru's sprite as a base, but I need her facing forward for the idle. I was thinking of having the sprites work like an ml3 overworld, and maybe make an RPG out of this

RE: Soul Eater Sprites - GrooveMan.exe - 02-15-2010
That is way better. Good job.
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - Baegal - 02-15-2010
haha, thanks!
RE: Soul Eater Sprites - triptych - 02-15-2010
she's so stiff in every one of your improvements that its just funny to watch
you're improving pretty much everything except for the biggest and most glaring problem with it
