Yeah pretty much.

Last one, then I'm hitting the sack. Front-view one @ top-left needs moar outline and speedy-lines need to be darker.



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

the wheel on the front view looks pillow shaded. I like the lines on their guns, but I think the red dithering on their helmets just hurts readability.

Oh, and for the sword, it's best to either do a really soft gradient (like, from your first to your second colour) or just use one solid colour for blur like that.

Front-view wheel is pillow-shaded, I know, but every time I change it it looks weird. How do you draw a front-on tyre anyway?

Now I need a some base structures.

Not good with faces/eyes AT ALL

No matter, kind of looks like an emotionless Wraith.

Contributan with a doodle:

701 on his vest, 710 on his arm? Also, the hand holding the baton looks small.
Good job, anyways.

Mind, I actually kind of like the eyes.

blah blah blah trying to get better

Ive been trying to learn how to sprite because PW seems fun to be fun, but I'm a terrible spriter, which is why I am trying to learn.

Oh? OH! I didn't notice. Well I'll be.

Aside from the colours you chose not providing enough contrast to really display anything meaningful:

You need to start thinking in terms of clusters.

Without considering them, at least subconsciously, your pixel art will jar the eye a little regardless of how good your colours and silhouette is..

I'd consider starting from scratch and getting some reference.

What are clusters, and what references could I use? What exactly is a references, I have never heard it mentioned thus far in school.

A cluster is any group of pixels touching each other, the best ones for small work are in the image I just posted.

A reference is anything you can work from... For reference. Get photos of people, other people's sprites of people, anything that will provide a point you can work from to make sure you're getting proportions right, and just as a comparison.

Then am I not already using clusters? After all, all the parts of the sprite are connected to each other, similar to the way that the image shows. This is just a prototype, and getting a decent image of a convict may prove difficult when I am very bad at even the basics of spriting.

Never heard of that "cluster" deal before, I learned something today.
