update

It's getting a lot better, although I'm having trouble finding the joints on the arms (Think about it, you don't hold a sword with a stiff arm while just standing there)
The sword looks pretty good although its a little blunt looking
Also it could be just how I'm looking at it but his right leg is a little bigger than his left
The face I'm not entirely sure about though, I think you could make it work if he just had a shadow over his eyes or make them more contrasting

The shield looks a lot better.

I would suggest redoing the shape of the sword entirely as well, it looks like a toothpick rather then the master sword.

I would also suggest putting more foc on Link's arm joints, they are more or less non apperent at the moment.

For the last, I'd suggest re-angling the head so that he looks forward. If you do that, you might wanna try the face again, see if you can work better with a new position.

Yeah, I've heard more or less the same qualms about this sprite, this next update's gonna take a lot of work

(Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it)

If you have the time I also suggest changing his feet so they're less pointy and more boot-like, I think it would make it look much better. With this in mind try to also make his feet shorter, because right now he has about size 21 boots.

another update
for some reason, i'm not too pleased with his head or sword
tips anyone?

Will you be designing the sword? It looks plain and dull.
Also, please add eyes and make the head look more circle-like.

He needs a nose and ears, pointy ears, make the boots more like well flat on the bottom,and make it more round on the left foot.

Getting better but that hand is bothering me. Don't know why, just is. And yeah his head is flater than it should be.

The sword's a lot better, just the face is bad.

The main problem with the sword is that is isn't straight. You've got four-pixel lines next to two-pixel ones.
Choose a pattern, like two-two-three, (though the same number is preferable) and stick to it throughout.

And I think your old head was better.

holy crap
major bump

This time, I've tried to follow some of Suli's tips here (http://ssf2expansions.motionforum.net/t ... n-tutorial), and I think the overall sprite is coming along beautifully. I'm looking towards animation quite soon.

From my pov, that's a hellova improvement seeing as the first two links on this page are well.. not as good.

c+c?
please?
