First Post? Nice work I loved your contest entries they are so simple yet they look so detailed its all in your shading honestly it is and OMG SNAKE <3 one of my fave SSBB charas thats great I like it. The shading is near perfect IMO and he just looks OMG. wow I sound like a wierd snake fan shhhh keep it on the dl fox. Your various stuff scared me lol but made me laugh too Portions were awesomely shaded and proportionate and then you had some that looked like you got bored with the paint tool. The second piece of various art looks like your contest pieces simple yet delectible. The love for amachi piece is also nice I love the guitarist using music to demolish aliens (Thats what it appeared like sorry if Im wrong) Nothing to say except great work man and OMG SNAKE (I want to see more snake sprites ;])

Heh... the piece in which you and Amachi are... "fighting crimez", I believe is how you put it, reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

I like your Old Snake sprites, but the walking animation is kind of... stale. Do D/P's walking animations really look like that? It's kind of weird that the body moves while the head stays in the same place. I mean, I'm sure that it isn't as noticeable when the character is actually moving through an environment, but it just seems like it could be more... dynamic. I usually make the sprites of walking animations move a bit within their frames, to show their weight shifting.



(fun fact: the monster's fins were liberated from a Vaporeon!)

Yeah, DP overworlds don't have head bobbing, though I was saying to Amachi over MSN that I might bring it up to 5-6 frames to add more life to it.

Thanks all for the comments! :]

Sythe, it;s not a guitar, I just fail at drawing Ak 47s ahahahaha.
And yes, due to the release of the MGS:Peace walker trailer you can expect to see a lot more of Snake and Big Boss in this thread :]

First off, I love the little D/P/P over view's.
They are so adorable an amazing!

With the "pointing gun" one, you can't really see that he is pointing a gun O_O.
I know this isn't an issue with your art, more the style, so maybe try a side shot one? That could be cool :D

The March Theme: Green, is bloody cool. The different colour and shading makes it that little bit more epic.

The May Theme: Spring is lovely too. Something about it isn't as good as March's however, IMO.
The two middle snow caps look a little, plain. The far right show looks good and as authentic as possible. I think it is because of the break down of the snow, makes it seem more realistic. I am not saying go punch holes into both of the middle caps, but maybe revise it and see what you can do?

Love for Amachi is crazy and amusing. I love it :D
The others are cool too ^.^
I won't comment on them since they are under construction. :D

I WANT MORE OF THE PREVIEW! XDDDD

Over all, I like them all. Nothing is horribly wrong, they aren't God awful.

Over all, 7/10 for all of them combined. =]

Thanks very much for the crits :3

Anyway considering the appalling lack of comments my thread has attracted in comparison to most recolours I have decided to jump ship.

Phew, that was a corker of an effort!!



Had y'all going ;]
What I really have to show you is another Overworld, it's Solid Snake from MGS1.

Comments plz.

Zomg that Nidoran is totally amazing, can I use it in my haxor. Then can you recolour all the other Pokémon? xD
---
Well, I like the OW. But I don't really like the contrast between the hair and the bandanna. The hair seems to leak over a bit too much and makes the bandanna look scratchy :\

The dark outline continuing into the inside edges of the arms seems to contrast a little too much with the subdued colors of the rest of the sprite... I've never played around with D/P character sprites, though, so I don't really know how they should look.
No, you're completely right, I just noticed that I forgot to change them when I was messing with shading and palette.

Thanks for pointing it out Chesu :3
