    I'm comfortable with the front and back views, but the side views are pissing me off. Could someone improve on the side views for me?

    I'm not going to spruce 'em up, but I think maybe some shading would help them out? n___n It's a great start though! You're pretty good.

    Was hard to tell what the lines that extended upward on the side in the hair were. As in, I couldn't tell what that hair was doing, so I just went with it.
    Added a few layers of shading. Edited some of the preexisting shading lines to make all four pixel avatars more consistent.

    I hope you like. :) I tried my best.

    I cant help right now as I am at work but I can tell one issue you may want to look into... on the front and back views you have ears but on the side views there are no ears. I understand how hard ears are to do from a side view thereby being a direct view of the ear. but it does make a difference. If you would like some help on it I can later when I get home. Im not a great artist but I dabble a little in it. My specialty is DirectX coding and wrapping 3d graphics with directx, but I would be happy to help if you want it.

    ok well here's my work on the bald guy

    [​IMG]

    What I did:
    1. changed the costume, pretty basic
    2. changed the hand size
    3. added forehead wrinkles
    4. changed the eyes, the old ones seemed too pointed, almost cross-eyed
    5. changed the ears, you needed to complete the loop of the ear

    edit: lol the forward looking guy in the first set has the angry eyes

    edit 2: oh also changed the mouth on the forward look

    edit 3: the color of the wrinkles might need to be lightened a lil', it's up to your preference

    edit 4: so I actually enjoyed working on that sprite so I thought I'd try making one of my own... here's the beginning (front + back view) of a demon sprite I'm working on

    [​IMG]

    note: back view is not done (see tail)

    edit 5: there's gonna be a ton of edits on this post

    here's the newest ver. of the demon sprite
