Sprite- und Pixelthread , II.

[TheErrantShepherd]

Thanks everyone... Guess I'm not too rusty.

@Kelven
That does look a lot like the shading/art style of MS3... nice, and just a nice sprite/pixel work in general!

...makes me think I need to work on my backgrounds.
BTW, good point. I just second guess myself on shading sometimes.

@Natix
It has potential, but the perspective and shading seem a little off. Also, its a bit jarring how the grass is shaded compared to the rest... Whereas everything else has the black outline, the grass does not.

Also, while the windows and porch look alright, the roof of the house seems flat or something, when it should maybe overhang? It definately needs some perspective work. Which would be why the bottom sidewalk seems odd, as it is not following perspective.

The brick wall looks ok in my eyes, maybe try and conform the rest of the pieces so they match its perspective?

I'd also recommend choosing some other colors for the outlines of the house and such.

But, its not a bad start, it just needs some work. Some tweaks and it could look much better.

@TheVampire100
As you say could look better... Some more shading/non-black outline could help.
More poses always liven things up as well.

Anyways, I tweaked the sprite based on some of the advice/suggestions...

Also realized while it may be my own style and SD, his head is a bit freakishly huge... So shortened it a bit.

New + Original

BIG


...I plan on giving him a cloak as well once I get around to spriting it... Probably the same color as his pants/headband.

Thoughts? Better? Worse? ...death to the shepherd? (please not this thought!)
