First of all, hi. It has been quite a while since I came here for the last time. The sprites I posted here were horrible, as far as I remember. I did this sprite some days ago. I think it can get really better than what it looks so far, but I really have no idea where to start. Its 100% custom btw.  Any tips on what I can do to improve it will be really apreciated. Thanks for the help. Oh. And is there a way to remove this avatar withouth adding a new one? The one I have now is really bad :P |

| His left leg looks a bit funny, and the hat looks like it should be a bit farther back. but other then that, it looks good. :) |

I like it. Maybe you can use the darkest blue in more ares to make the pants more 'contrasty' to show the bends on the legs. The grey is boring looking, not bad but maybe another grey that has some color in it, rather than grey-grey.

Alright, thanks, both of you. I ll edit it, and then post the sprite here. Thanks a lot :) EDIT: Made the gray slighty blue, and moved the hat one pixel back, and used the darkest blue in more areas as well, but when I tried to change the leg's shape it looked even worse =z  |

Aww, much better, and yeah, now that I think of it, the leg looks fine. Good work

I started to animate it, but I got lazy. Only a few frames left, but I decided to work on something else, was kinda bored of that one. Here is what I have so far on the something else :P  I was gonna try some dithering, but since I am going to a sorta cartoonish style, I thought it would be better withouth it. |

| It's thinking the same thing that I am, huh? Why a chicken? whatever anyway, It could use a gray to finish the wing at the top. Make it look like there is the rest of the wing, and the neck at the back is a wee funny. |

| Well his left foot looks like it shrinks when he moves forewanr, and the right leg needs to bend a bit more when it moves foreward. But other then tahy, maybe just add another frame inbetween to make it look a bit smoother. |
