 These are two sprites that I was working on recently that I would like some feedback on. I want these to be able to work on any color bg. Other things I would like to improve on are the size (would like to add more detail or is it fine?) and colors, especially the colors. One is overly blue (which I don't really mind) but I really had issues with the sprite on the right because of the blue on his shirt. The non-pixel artwork is to show what one of the character's colors are supposed to be like. 1. The original colors plus a black outline 2. Slightly edited colors without black outline 3. Flipped Originals Feel free to crit on anything. |

It looks better without the black outline, but the red character looks a little washed out in the new colors. The blue character is also a little washed out but it doesn't seem like a problem to me because it's not exactly a natural color for a person anyway, so being slightly washed out doesn't reduce how natural he looks to me.
I would go with the middle one because a lot of landscape paintings, or at least the ones I've looked at, seem to prefer having the light coming from the right. I think psychologically I expect the right side of things to be warmer than the left. Even if you switched their positions in the third one the warmer character would be moving away from the cooler one. |

| The blue one lacks contrast in comparison red one in both color schemes, but especially in the new colors. As for the red one, i prefer the original colors. The green goes well in that one. If you want to use the newer colors change the green too |

Tanuki: Ok I decided to try the black outline b/c some games use it and I thought it might make the sprite easier to look at on different backgrounds. I'm not sure what you mean by the landscape point but these guys are going to be used separately. Zeratanus: Okay I think I'll just use the original colors Thanks for the feedback |
