Creating a unique style?

[Le Sigma]

It also has a lot to do with the pre-planning stages. It looks like you're spriting a tonberry. Tonberrys have changed in various ways through final fantasy because of the style of concept art. Once you've figured out how it'll look on paper, your goal is to figure out the size of your sprites, and do your best to make the sprite look the most like the art.

Yeah, uh, I have to say, this isn't a tonberry. This is just some guy's ref.

It's hard to have 'your own style', I would hoonestly sprite in different styles, and if theres something about certain styles you like, you can infuse them into 'your own style'

I am constantly experimenting with styles and just want to find a style which I can try to stick to.
