Your lineart needs a lot of work, it's not worth pointing out the flaws in Roy because there are too many. I suggest practicing basic body shapes etc.

It's Ike btw.

For starters, i can see a couple of problems

-The right hand should be a little up then to the left a bit. Idk.. I may be wrong with that part
-The sword is thin and not sharp
-Both feet are not on the same level of elevation. If they're not supposed to be, then the right leg needs fixing
-Too much black on the nose tip. Fix it up a bit

I would go on more but i think you should fix these for now

Ah thanks, get the two mixed up subconsciously.

So I'm redoing the Ike sprite. Will be posting soon.
(Wow it's been two years)

Lookin' forward to it!

OK, so college is really time consuming. Here is the new Ike.



As you can see, I've scaled him up to compare to SSF2's Marth. It's obviously a WIP so I'm curious to read what comments/criticisms I can get for this so I can improve. I've included a with sword and without sword version for comparison's sake as well.

any critiques? :3

I'll start off with the simple problems here. The cape has no shading and the hair has no outline but the rest of the body has. You need to make sure your style is consistent. The body having an outline suggests that it was drawn before the cape was added, correct?

Pretty much what he said ^.

Comparing it to Marth though, apart from the height the style isn't identical. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for though so it doesnt matter XD

I threw on the cape as the last thing. I haven't done any shading to it because I'm not worried about shading the whole thing yet; now I'm just trying to get the outlines done. I'm not very good at spriting hair so I'll have to look up some tutorials for that.
