How about this.
RE: My Karts - Stooben - 11-24-2009
I think that looks about right.
RE: My Karts - zwb147 - 11-24-2009
Any Opinions on what I should do next? I want to get all the karts that have appeared in mario kart games out of the way first, then move onto the others.

Here are the real karts, they are seperated by game. Double Dash!!, Mario Kart DS, and Mario Kart Wii.

petey pirhana one
RE: My Karts - Stooben - 11-24-2009
Yeah, the Petey one.
RE: My Karts - Alpha Six - 11-24-2009
Spriter eye time!
All of your karts suffer from the same problems; lack of depth, washed-out palettes, messed-up shapes, and sloppy shading. Some of them look like they were slapped together in two minutes with the line tool, whereas others suffer from general poor construction and even poorer shading (the bulldozer-esque one, especially.) Your palettes are very dry and uninspiring. They need more vibrance, contrast and saturation. If you don't know what those terms mean, look them up. They'll help a lot more in the future. Your shading is very messy and does not contour with the shape of your vehicles. The vehicles also look almost paper because of how two-dimensional they look. They need a lot more depth, which can be improved by following the above advice I gave you.
If you have a hard time, I can whip up an edit or two later, maybe.
Good luck.
RE: My Karts - zwb147 - 11-24-2009
I'll do the petey piranha one then the star one.
@Number Six:
My newer ones too?
RE: My Karts - Alpha Six - 11-24-2009
Yes, all of them have the same issues.

How about its shape?
RE: My Karts - Alpha Six - 11-24-2009
The shape looks a lot better now; but you should either move the back tire guard down or up in order to make it look more 3D. Right now it just looks like you drew a line through the wheel.

Down or Up?
RE: My Karts - Stooben - 11-24-2009
It looks better down to me.

The top one's lips and the leaf on the back are modeled after Petey
The bottom one's are shaded according to its shape.
I personally like the top one better, but what do you guys think?
RE: My Karts - zwb147 - 11-24-2009
Sorry for double posting, but anybody have a suggestion?
RE: My Karts - Stooben - 11-24-2009
I'm trying to figure out what needs changing. I think the top one is a more accurate sprite of what the kart should look like, but parts of it still seem a little flat. Maybe try adding a little shading to the flower petals?
