Pixel Joint Forum: A Wolf Howls in Duotone

Message

   It was Matt Groening who suggested that any of his characters should be recognized in silhouette. What better way to test this, but with a duotone avatar!

I will take any critiques and comments. I am learning.

	This is a clever exercise! I should try it with some of my characters. I like the dynamic pose for the wolf as it's howling. My main critique is that the head looks too large for the body. If you look at reference photos for wolves, you'll see that their shoulders and torsos can be pretty muscular! (See this photo, for example.)https://www.stockvault.net/photo/202548/wolf-howl You might also want to make the tail furrier down its entire length, rather than just at the tip. Looking forward to future drafts!

	"characters should be recognized in silhouette" reminds me of a video clip on youtube with touhou characters as silhouettes and still being recognized it is what i dislike about a lot of those indie game pixel styles. those stick figures are less recognizable as individual characters then those stick figures i made as i child on my stick figure war pictures XD
