Pixel Joint Forum: Possibly a WIP?

Message

   This is, in my opinion, pretty finished, but I think I'd rather risk it here first than in the gallery... it's my first ever attempt at selout and it's on a throwaway character, but there we are.

A couple notes- yes, the gun is supposed to be that massive, and that's a grenade-style-thingy in his other hand, and I think that I might have made a bit of a mistake with his helmet design- possibly one dot too many, but I think I'll get another couple opinions. Also, I might need to shift the suit colour more towards the orange and less toward the green region. Opinions? Edits? Personal swipes? Let's have it.

	I'll let my edit speak for me. i've changed the legs a biot, removed some pixels, and changed the way the left leg and foot were displayed. the rest looks great, i would try to move the head 1px back... but that's just my personal taste.

	Spartan- I probably will be animating this eventually, but there's nothing sadder than an animation with a character that should have been figured out properly before hand. Plus, I wasn't trying for a 'master cheif' character, I was aiming for an ancient character I used to make when I was a kid, called Spaceman Bob. Yeah, I know, but I'm older now, so his name is much better- Cosmonaut Bob. Just kidding. Metaru- Thank you so much. You're completely right with your edits, and I think that it's better with knees (tis always irritating to miss something fundamental like that) -wince-. And i've moved the head back like you said. I should be getting it finished soon enough.
