Well, all I can say is I'm not an art thief.

Unless your name is Joakim Sandberg, you have some explaining to do.

sure.     

True. Well, all I can say is I'm not an art thief.

that's a problem. surely I can take your word... but you can't deny, its suspiciously strange for those details that I mentioned below.

Unfortunately, I don't have a WIP animation or anything.
And I didn't edit anyone's work, although I can't prove I didn't because I don't have a wip. So you're gonna have to take my word for it.
And I wasn't looking at any picture of the chief for inspiration while pixeling it, so maybe I should.

since when master chief wears a WW2 helmet? also, these legs looks really odd, like the rest of the character's anatomy. I do feel, for some strange reason, that these sprites are something near an edit of someone else work. could you provide a WIP or something?

Yeah, I see what you mean. I need some work at animating. And I should probably up the contrast. Thanks for the advice!

Not bad, but the jump phase looks more like a skid or maybe a slide. I dunno, maybe once we see an animated version.

Still good job on it.

They seem rather lacking in contrast. If that's the style you're using, cool, but otherwise, it could use some tuning up. Either way, I do like them. But I don't know about the jump sprites... *Animates.* The jump looks really stiff and effortless. It's more like someone standing on their tip-toes.
