Since you guys SERIOUSLY need it, it seems...


HOW TO GIVE PROPER CRITIQUE
AND POST ETTIQUITE
1. If someone's sprites are bad, they didn't EPIC FAIL, becasue that is f#%$& elitist of you to say, and probably wrong. An epic is something LONG. Failure would be total misunderstanding of most or any concepts the person did and objecting they did such concept.
2. A simple sentence saying "bad," "good," "These are good," or any variant is a waste of a post. You should tell them WHAT you like or WHAT you didn't like.
3. Make your post calmly, unless the person is beingcompletely stupid or ignorant.
4. Don't overuse smilies. I actually prefer to not use smilies.
5. Don't compare anyone's sprites to anothers. It just makes both people seem like asses.
6. Atleast SHRINK or delte the text in quotes if you are quoting more than two posts, or if a post has alot of text. Better yet, get rid of any quotes for posts other than the one you are posting about.
7. Not everyone's first, second, or third laguage is English. Please don't be a grammar nazi or get mad if they make alot of grammar errors if you still get the point. But totally raping the language should be fixed.

Seriously.

Here's the tut:

TUT-- Made by CNP.

PART 1--
The thing itself:
Already, when making a Sonic fan char, please oh please do NOT take sawniks head. Use it as a base if you want to, but never just change the hair. And DO NOT USE THE SAME STANCE!!
Example:
[ Image ]
This guy has a Sonic head base for a head. Has edited eyes, quills, NEW colours, and other stuff, like that red line that goes up every hair spike. This guy's stance is custom, though, so it makes it look cool. To make it look realistic, like ready for a battle, make the animation fast, and after refreshing 3 times, make the guy blink.

PART 2--
Animations:
I've already explained some stuff earlier. Animations are way smoother when fast, and it sometimes make it look good. (I take a 5 centi for one image.)
[ Image ]
See this guy?
It looks like his ready for battle?
It looks good?
Then ur doin it rite.
For running/ walking animations, draw an imaginary line, so that the animations not shaky, like in this:
[ Image ]
See that imaginary line?
I created it so that my guy does not move. So that the animation doesn't go forwards, keep the head in the big line where the last image's head was before. Look at the animation, and you'll see the head never moves, except up and down.

PART 3--
Attacks:
Attacks are way better custom. Don't take always the same kick, or the same punch, because that's awfully boring, after it's your 9001th sonic recolour. Look at these for example:
[ Image ][ Image ]
See? They're dynamic, fast, smooth, and to me, they look good. More attacks are slow, more frames you'll have to put to make it look smoothe.
Remember kids, the smoother, the better!
