Natis' Sprites - Natis - 06-23-2015

Hey Everyone! 

It's been a long time since I posted anything, but I wanted to post some sprites and get some (hopefully constructive) criticism.

I had been PMing SmithyGCN a long while ago when I originally got this idea for a game, and he was giving me some pointers on animation for the main character. About a month into trying to make the main character's animations look good, I got buried with work responsibilities and didn't have much time to work on sprites. 6 months later, I'm back at it! But only one tiny detail... I lost the USB drive that I was using and it had all my work on it. Luckily, I still have the animations that I was throwing at Smithy, and I will post them here for C+C as well. But in the mean time, I decided to make some of the NPCs while I scavenge my house, car, work, and other whereabouts looking for this darn USB.  

I have been working on the storyline and character designs throughout the months, so I guess I never really stopped 100%. I like where the story went, and am very pleased with it. That motivated me to hop back on this project.

EDIT: Found the USB! Hopefully that speeds some stuff up! Going the edit this post to make it more organized.

The design is supposed to be a futuristic/apocalyptic cowboy kind of deal. 
I'm trying to make it stylized and have a 4 color limit (and I cheated and have been using the black outline) for the characters.

Characters:

"The Law"
(Main Character)

Concept(s): [1]

Sprite Sheet


Animations:

"The Dragon"
(Techy Character)

Concept(s) [1]

Sprite:

(Green Character)

Notes: Need to fix "Dragon Mask" readability.

"The Canon"
(Heavy Weapons Character)

Concept(s) [1]

Sprite:

(Purple Character)

Note: There is something that I don't like, and I can't figure it out. Maybe looks too manly? I didn't do a great job translating the concept design to the sprite.
Also too boring of a design? Perhaps redesign?




Anyway, that's is all I have right now. I'd love to hear everyone's feedback!

I can't make out the green character's face or what is in his hand, and the purple character looks pretty boring. I think they both need some work and readability.

Readability was one of the main things I was worried about. And uh... he doesn't have anything in his hands... the green things are his hands... His arms look a little broken, huh? I'll it to the fix it list.

On the bright side... I FOUND THE USB!  Big Grin

I went ahead and updated/editted the first post too. I added the concept drawings (totally didn't copy Smash Bros poses, guys. Sakurai actually stole my concepts during the beginning of development.) so now you can kinda see what I was thinking and help push the readability in the right direction.
