Custom cheep cheep

Made for the sprite compo.

I think I have a shot this time. I can feel it

Bump! Comments pleaseeeee!



Pretty much finished. C+C please.

Personally, I actually like the fish in the middle of the top image better than the smaller one you're using now.

The shading on the small one's mouth looks a bit unusual to me (probably has to do with it mainly being on one side of the fish's lower jaw like that), and it's a bit hard to make out details on a 100% zoom (1x size). The regular version at the bottom of the second sheet looks like it's wall-eyed (though maybe that's intentional), and its pupils are difficult to see from 1x size. The yellow one, which I presume is the "glad" one, could probably be made to look more happy also; it doesn't seem to be smiling or anything there.

Are you trying to choose between the different "widths" of Cheep-cheeps in the second image? If so, I probably like the ones on the right more, except that you should probably change the eyes of the yellow one so that the "farther-away" one looks thinner, rather than the "closer" one.


Overall, I certainly don't think they're bad, but they could still use some improvement IMO.

The middle at the top is hte reference I used. Thanks for commenting though.

Oh, sorry about that. :X

Next time, though, it would be a good plan to mention that something in a comp entry image is a reference.

I thought like everyone has played YIDS, or atleast seen the style. :V

Pretty much done.
Check the sprite comp topic for more info on the fishes personalitys/behavior.

try removing the black lines from inside the sprite

I think it makes them look messy

Like this?

What black lines?

These are really good.

But I meteored you with Lucas, so it doesn't matter.

I will get you next time. >:(

Besides I won like 3 of those rounds.

...the ones in the sprite
