I think it's the chestplates.. They don't look like they're angled right.

And it's kinda hard to see the features on the faces.

The thing that is wrong with the guy is that it's a coalition soldier but red

Not really something I expected out of you..

Lafe is right, the actors are horrible resprites that should be brought behind a barn and shot.
May I reccomend not using pure black outlines but instead use darker shades of what you shaded it with?
Also, highlights.

yeah, like i said actors are pretty bad


remember that almost exactly this was said of my mods too once. just keep practicing spriting and you can get good in no time. in the mean time, add some shading/dithering to the chestplate, and focus on more guns before your good enough to make people. I couldn't sprite actors tell last month.

Don't do dithering at all. Rotation messes with it.

I am not amused. Just kidding i like them theyre awesome! Like Mr. T coming down from heaven and kicking chuck norris in the gonads and ripping out his intestines and choking him with them. SWEET!!!

people change.


never had a problem with this with actors.

You aren't in the position to say his sprites are bad, though.

What are you talking about? Isn't lafe allowed to state his opinion jsut cause you think his sprites are worse? That's bs I tell ya.

Yes I think it does. It is evident that he does not know what an acceptable level of quality is so is not suited to judge.

You can be a bad spriter and critique sprites, but you can't release one-tone sprites and call it acceptable, and chastise other people for having sprites that aren't good enough to release. It's called hypocrisy. I know I'm getting dangerously close to be hypocritical here myself, but Boba has a valid point.

In any case, I think these are pretty good. Sure the shading isn't there, but that's the easy part. These have good composure and proportion- something that I would kill to have in my sprites.

I'm not going to dress this up. These are pretty awful sprites. However, nobody can expect anything more from a new spriter.

Aside from that, I completely am with lafe on this stupid issue. He's gotten more crap than anyone on the board for his sprites. But he worked at it and took pages of harsh criticism.

I find it completely fair that sprites as bad as this be similarly criticised until there is continuous effort put in. Few people who are new to spriting or artwork in general produce amazing sprites off the bat.

I would practice spriting something original to improve your spriting, because respriting isn't going to make you better at spriting. It will only serve to make you better at recoloring. I frequently sprited completely new things just to get better. And periodically I will return to a mod of mine and resprite it with better skill than the last time.

I actually think they are really cool but need more actors.

I guess you have improved, Lafe. I wouldn't call them great, but they're about average.
