11/21/07: I decided to spend some more time on refining and updated the sprite. If anyone who saw the previous one could tell me what they think of the new version, I'd appreciate it.
I think the robe has too much contrast, which makes the mushroom and the body look like two images pasted together. Although I do really like the pose and the fact that you used a food that most wouldn't think of.
Nice stance! The only crit is that the elbow looks very round and that maybe he's torso could lean a little forward. I like the colours you chose and I also get the joke! (even though mushroom is a fungus and not fruit or veg..)
No reference used besides a random picture on google or some other image search (which I can't find at the moment) to get a basic idea of how the clothes would look. I also briefly looked at a picture of a portobello mushroom. To state it concisely: there was no direct referencing for shapes/figures.
I could probably try adding a highlight or something to the swords to make them more noticeable.
Did you use a reference for this? The front foot looks a bit large. The hands and arms are good but it is a little strange at the moment. It looks like he is getting something out of his clothes. Not sure how to fix it .... Maybe a shadow on the floor?
