New sprites from Zero - Zerofox97 - 07-20-2016

I've not attempted to do small sprites for a few years now, but I decided to give it a go again with my more refined art style and a somewhat better knowledge of what makes sprites look good.

this looks smooth and rather pleasing but the character is off balance. It's leaning on its back way too much

I see what you mean. Perhaps if and when I get to animating him, I could have him lean forward and back. I have the idea of showing the core element of his personality (which is a kind of bouncy, happy-go-lucky kinda thing) in this idle animation.

...that, or I should try adjusting his footpaws and back a little.
And for comparison's sake, I'll show a 'full' sprite sheet of the same character I did a few years ago. I will be trying to recreate some of these poses in my new, more refined style.

Dunno whether I solved the balance issue, but I gave him a cuter, rounder belly

in case of doubt, flip the sprite horizontally. it will reveal balance issues, if there's any.

looking cute so far! i like how the colors aren't too vibrant, like how the white is more of an off-white/very bright grey
