How Far Have I Come?, What do you think?

Most of my sprites are pictured here. From the past to the new. Have I improved a lot? Note: Some are edits. Not completely custom.

Yes.

Though it's hard to give your newer sprites more poses and making them useable because they're so detailed. Could as well call it small pixel art.

I'm impressed at the work you be doin

I'm sure I could animate them if I learned how to do so properly and if I had the patience.

You've certainly improved since then.

That asshole Wart is flipping me off ):

And I still remember Goomba Pet. Wart gives me the finger

And I must say you've improved. But like Bidbood said, with you giving so much detail and making your sprites somewhat big, it'd be very difficult to animate well.

I apologize.

I don't think you necessarily IMPROVED in a "leaps and bounds" sense, but you definitely stopped using black outlines.

its clear your art has changed, yet each period has aspects which make them good and bad, utilizing what’s good about each set, I believe, is the way forward.

Oldest: I can see you didn’t know much in the way of spriting certain body shapes, but you showed imagination, trying to experiment with new ideas, which is never a bad thing.

Middle: you hare staring to improve on your understanding of character design, and have moved onto thinking of which style is best, also there is a clear enthuses on outlines.

Newest: you’ve srted out the problem of character designs completely, and seem to have found a style you like, though the imagination and experimentation that made the others special seems to have gone.

So yeah, just try n’ combine the best aspects together to improve any more SP, but well done, and I hope ive helped ^^

Do a shyguy now without looking at your old ones.

(Since you did one old and middle)

It takes time to learn, for sure. Basically, remember that every pixel is special and every pixel should be moved. Also, take into account the speed of the animation, and whether it's worth it to animate small movement details or just blurslash the whole thing.

You have, indeed, improved. I notice a lot of early spriters do shading in a sort of... well, a bevel way. Like, one line of lighter shade a pixel wide, one dark shade on the other side, and the rest a solid middle color. Yuck unless used correctly. You've moved beyone that, and seem to have more fluidity in your lines.

...

Now I want to make one of these topics.

Your style has greatly improved from past sprites. Though one thing you still need to work at is selecting a good pallet. Use a pallete that is pleasing to the eye, not blinding. Personally, I use a color wheel to select nice colors which blend nicely with my other sprites. Once you get that done, you'll be an excellent spriter ^_^.

New Yoshi rocks though...

In all honesty, your middle ages and newest stuff isn't really that different. The only real difference is that you're actually shading them much much more, which is good.

I've always had a problem with most of your things being too small. But if you added animations to them that probably wouldn't matter as much. Your stuff screams pixal art a lot more though. I'd like to see bigger pixal art stuff from you.

Your new stuff IS getting bigger though. I like.
NOW MAKE A NEW ANT ANDY SPRITE, GOSH.

I personally like the middle aged stuff the best. The new-aged stuff has better shading, but the middle stuff just feels a lot crisper.

In general, yes. But I still like some of your first sprites, as well as your newer ones.

Werry good

i´m still in the middle ages!
