Looks good! Is his neck really long, or his head floating?

It reminds me of the NES megaman games :) That's a good thing!

This is really awesome! It's great that you guys are doing something like this. I've thought about starting something like this for game music, but never got around to it. Is that something you guys would be interested in adding to this project? I would be willing to help get a lot of that started just to help out developers who need royalty-free assets.

Wow this is awesome! Didn't the game use the NES palette, or a variation of it? These are just gorgeous.

Silky smooth! This is really great, I feel like the hair/head should move a little smoother. Still really awesome though.

This was a really neat watch. Thanks for posting this here!

Caca, Sohei did not rip anything, and you should stop making wild allegations. Even if your comment was aimed at me, you should not post that here on his work. He did an honest, fantastic job, and you have no place commenting this kind of BS on his art.

@Blackbeltdude, I appreciate your feedback. I am open to criticism and your points are valid. However, I don't take kindly to 7even's comment. I don't have a problem with someone trying to help, or commenting. I do have a problem with small comments aimed at insulting me. Saying, "this character's animations are boring," is not insulting. Legitmate feedback/crit is helpful and I encourage it. I realize the main character has suffered from some large issues. Most of this will be revisited in the future anyway. It was already planned for the sprites to be improved and changed. But with tight deadlines some things had to be shown in their WIP state. Anyway, thank you again for your constructive feedback. If I have time, I will consider PMing you for crit on the animations/design, if you are interested.

@7even, the main characters' animations are not draw-overs of Mega Man Zero, or any other sprite. It is really insulting to be accused of ripping graphics, or demeaning my work to tracing/draw-overs. The sprites were created in a way to strongly remind the viewer of those games. I will not argue that the style is completely original or unique, as that wasn't the intent with these sprites. But reducing my artwork to "rips" is at the least highly insulting. I did not create these sprites so other artists could judge them on their style's originality. They were created to bring about a sense of familiarity in the player.

I love this! He reminds me of the character Jasper from Children of Men. 

I have to agree that some parts seem unfinished, but my favorite parts are the bridge, stairs, and rock walls. They have an organic feel and the style is really cool! :)

This just outdoes everything I've seen in a long time. Fantastic work.

Very good. Reminds me of Japan. Is there a certain city you referenced?

I really dig this. But I'm a sucker for robots so that's probably why. Seriously though, good job with the design and colors. It's really good! PS. Please do more robots! :D

I really dig the theme of the armor. Haven't thought about "organic" armor in forever. I think the palette is very good too :)

Does this meet actual NES restrictions?

Lol yes I meant Y and B.. I just edited my post, after feeling like a complete dolt for that. The placement is superior in my opinion because the thumb angles onto the gamepad better that way, at least for me.

It seems like it takes after the SNES B and Y button placement. I personally enjoyed how one could rest the thumb on both buttons and press the buttons simultaneous or separately depending on the need. 

 Mother of.... We have found Arrakis...

Anyway, great work! Especially on Curiosity. Who am I kidding? The sandworm looks amazing too lol. Nicely done.

 Silky smooth!  5/5 for animation!

 Being the huge LoL fan that I am, I absolutely adore this! Seeing the little yordle that is so often a huge pain in the ass as a tiny sprite just charms me. I'm in love!!!  Excellent job btw. I would like to see more characters in this style.

 This looks like one of those splash screens in between the levels of Shinobi III: The Revenge of The Ninja Master on the Sega Genesis. Very good job . Would be cool to see this character sketched out or otherwise illustrated to be implemented into a game.

 You really should state your reference/body base. This is the maplestory paper doll character with some things drawn over it. It's hard to tell how much of this is actually your work from scratch. If you don't state that you were using the body from maplestory, it looks like you're trying to steal artwork without giving proper credit.

 This is definitely borrowed from the maplestory body base. Please state that you have used it as a base or reference at least. It makes you look tacky when you don't give any credit to those artists.

 It looks good, but at the moment the shoulders look like they're growing. Also, I would suggest moving the sword so that it doesn't block his face. But overall good job :)
