Style Evaluation (Formerly: Non-Sonic Sprites)

[StarSock64]

What bias

I grew up with S3&K and it was my favorite game(s) for a really long time

that doesn't make its sprite style any better

nobody's saying it should match mario, it's just that we happened to make mario first. ...we're not comparing the two, we're saying that you should do Good Sprite Techniques that we (well, gorsal, I just changed the facial proportions) happened to attempt to show in mario before. The same should apply to sonic not because of mario but to make things look, y'know, good

tl;dr mario is absolutely irrelevant to what we're saying about the sonic sprites

You don't have to make it look like mine or like gorsal's at all, you're supposed to pay attention to the principles. The sprites are all too cluttered and overshaded. Half of the shading just makes stuff look blurry and bad. It's just a mass of bad habits all over the place. If you don't like the way we did it, then adapt the principles to your own way.

I think -you're- the one with the bias because you seem incapable of suggesting anything but "b-but it's not like the originals!!" whether it's good or not. And believe it or not the not-white gray is quite gray and multiple people who aren't biased by staring at these sprites for ages are telling you it's pointless.
