How long have you been working on the main "character" sprite? he looks much better and much more refined than the other stuff.
the main character is pretty nice - the other two things, not so much.

also I am not saying that this stuff couldn't be without some touch ups.
I toyed with and edited one of the frames of your main character sprite.

I altered the shading and palette and may have added a color or two, i don't recall. its not your "style" i know, and its probably a little too smooth in some parts but w/e
make your colors more contrasted. another thing about colors; even if they're not going to be vibrant, its ALWAYS a good idea to have some variety in the colors that you're using. its also important that, when using grey, you avoid neutral gray. always give the grey some kind of tint towards a color, a miniscule amount of saturation.
when it comes to black, its usually a good idea to try and contrast it as much - as a lot more of the darker colors than you normall would, and try and give the other shades a blueish tint. black by its nature should be more "radically" contrasted than most colors.
its also usually a good idea to make your background a mid-tone as opposed to white, contrast and colors show better.

Quote:I can't really pick out any specific detail, but thewhole stance just screams MMZ to me.i'm gonna go ahead and say that i'm probably more familiar with MMZ than baipa-shaku and that he's pretty much wrong. there is very little about it that implies mmz, aside from the whole BLUE ROBOT WITH GUN thing. but then, a lot of things have that.
