[Toad]

I know all that stuff. Did I do it right?

[GrooveMan.exe]

Well, no. Look at your own hair. Because it's not made of a single lump of substance, its highlight against the sun is scattered; and doesn't show up as a single pale blob.

And before you bring up Inazuma Eleven or something; the way they do the hair in that show is fucking stupid.

[Toad]

I have no idea what that show is. I will fix the hair.

[Gors]

I think you know, but don't know how to apply them.

first of all, never use pure white as BG. Use a neutral color (like gray, for example) so you can notice color problems easily.

you have too much colors for a sprite that small, it won't hurt if you cut out some of them. Use a darker outline for the nose and mouth because they're almost invisible.

I did an edit (I cut all the unnecessary colors, fixed some of the jagged lines) because an image tells more than a thousand words.

[Toad]

How's this?

[Cobalt Blue]

better than the original, id move the jaw a few pixels back just to give the head more mass, and work on the rest of the sprite.

[Toad]

Moved jaw.

[Gors]

the hair is a mess right now. Try smoothening the lines.

[2+D]

Whats up with it's ear?

[Toad]

Fix'd.

[2+D]

Looking much better now.

a tip when making hair is to think on them like being chunks of hair, not a rigid helmet. They're hella easier when grouped in small pieces instead of grouping all the hair in one shape.

Thanks. But was that a general tip, or does my sprites hair still need to be fixed?
