Yeah, with Medevenx's example it shows depth, try to think of your character as a 3d character and interpret that on a 2d plane. You don't necessarily have to duplicate Medevenx's example just keep it in mind.

I've taken a break from the sword slashing woman and animated an expansion to sonic.



He suppose to be running forward

Head is kinda jumpy, and some upper body movement would be nice.

Legs are cool tho'

I already got quite a few complaints with this one from a few friends, but hell what do you think?

The effects are interesting, but the combination of unpolished pixel work (walkway borders) with feathery highlights? It's interesting but it needs work.
IMO pixeling all the way would be the best option (and by far the classiest) but if you want to keep the feathery highlights, polish up the pixel work.

On another note, You've got several differing perspectives. (Look at the bench. Now look at the Merry Go Round. Now back at...)
What kind of grid are you applying?

I like the trees and city scape. ^.^

I sorta ran out of creative stamina with this one. So many colors themes and concepts, so some pixel work is more detailed than other. Everything you see was made of pixels first than cleaned up, this means the merry go around, tree, city scrap, sidewalk, etc. I got really tired, and it took quite a long time so meh. To answer your pink bend question..........Making it flat saved time and it was the last time to add......

Interesting picture not so good spriting

when i saw the picture:

Here something I manage to make in the little free time I have. How did it turn out?

The character design is really interesting haha.

Shading needs lots of work. Try practicing your dithering tech on some gradients.

The bottom "skirt" part is shaded incorrectly. It should be shaded as a cylinder.

All for now. I like your palette.

YOUR WORK IS AWESOME.

MAKE A PONY OR A TANK

Do you mean the whole thing or just the bottom part?

Just the skirt should be shaded as a cylinder, though the torso could be as well. (depends on the structure you're going for, really)
Remember to demonstrate the texture of the fabric too though. (Folds, etc) Directly shading it as a cylinder doesn't make sense obviously.

NEW


OLD



So was there any great improvement?

Perspective looks more consistent (though not 100% accurate)
The bottom part is too blurry and highlighted now.
It's a bit better composition wise too, as the objects look more grounded and less like they're floating around for no reason.
There's the issue of scale... I'm not sure the size of objects lines up with the arrangement of the objects.

The style is interesting though, I'd like to see more.
