I'm working on Perfect Cell sprites, from Dragonball Z. JUS style, though I'm aiming for better quality. I'm just trying to get the basics down before I move on. Comments would be appreciated.
After this, I'll probably sprite his imperfect and semi-perfect forms, or sprite some other characters.

1. This isn't an idle.
2. I highly doubt this is JUS styled.

Where is the muscle? That Cell looks like a little kid. Cell has around the same build that Goku does. This build is more around the lines of Imperfect Cell. However, I do admit that the color choices and the shading, as well as the basic outline is pretty outstanding. Work on the hands a little bit though; they look a bit floppy.

Thanks for the input. I am trying to make a whole JUS sheet for each of Cell's forms (by the way, Cell is only my second 100% custom sprite attempt).

I worked on Cell's build, changed his pose slightly, and did some other minor changes. If it looks good, I'll animate it and continue on the rest of the sheet.

Nice the hands are fixed

the upper body still needs to be bigger, even on a small sprite like that.

Final idle (hopefully):



I'll probably make minor adjustments to the animation.

Not even close to final. The wings and arms move around too much. This animation seems like just a simple pixel shift if anything. Make Cell look like he's breathing. Move his knees a little bit.

All what hes doing is moving his arms and wings back and forth :/
Like Leo said, you should try moving the knees a bit.

um it look like he's um never mind.....


If he powering up characters usual shake when doing this. Bend his knee forward and make his height shorter. Make the wings move faster too

Complete.



How is this?

Oh my, that's a f*** load of improvement.

Tips:
1. The right thigh needs some movement
2. The left knee expands a bit
3. Slow it down a bit
4. Add chest expansion and contraction (breathing)

You're really improving, so don't give up on this sprite. It may seem boring but it's always necessary to do your best, don't shrug things off and say "Eh, good nuff'."

In addition to what dude above me said, adjust the groin area a bit. When you move your legs, the fold in the groin changes. Observe what happens when you wear skin-tight pants and you do what Cell is doing. Finally, start working on another version of the same Perfect Cell and add shading to it, so that when you finish animation, you can adjust the shading. Currently, the feet, face, neck, and fists need some shading.

Don't give up on this sprite, please. It's going places.

Wow youm might have accidentally made a great idle, but that idle doesn't seem to suit cell. Anyways try to make the frames faster.

It seems kind of tall to me, but I don't really know any Dragon Ball Z, so yeah.

I decided to try something a little different:



It's 100% custom. I thought the DOJO!! character arts had a good style, so I made a Perfect Cell art based off of it. I don't know where I would use it, but it will be on my final sprite sheet. Adjustments will be made to it later. Comment on it if you want. It would help.

Perfect Cell Idle: still working on it. All I have fixed so far are the shading in the feet, face, neck, and the hands, and the knee-expansion problem. Also, he does breathe in the idle. The breathing is just a little less noticeable because of the up-and-down movement, but it's there.


Yeah, Perfect Cell is a little taller than Goku.
