hmmm looks nice it would be great if you could put more detail into the "proto" emblem on his chest but as thats not possible with something so small its a great rendition of one of the best megaman BN characters

Looking good, though you will definitely have to remove the sword if you ever want him to actually work in game. Though doing two versions would be cool.

there isn't room in the area around the arms to fit a sword. Take a look at how the arms are arranged and I think you will understand.

the flair is a bit awkward and you might be at an advantage to just remove it

He's good now because he was able to self-criticise. There is no such thing as putting your work down too much when it's constructive.

Looking good, though that back side view is a little off. He appears too short and skinny or something. The hair is awesome though.

you know how the bodies for movement dont have arms attached? well if i were to draw them on the body so the sword would show while he walks, and black over the movement arms, would that work? i would do the attack arms like normal so when he goes to attack the sword on his arm disappears and the one from inventory that will look like the sword arm will show, think it will work?
edit: just learned that by clicking the black boxes in shishi, it tells you what part of the sprite sheet its using
, if im able, this sprite definitely wont strike overhand like everyone else

The problem with doing the attached arm thing is that a lot of the none attacking animations are messed up, like casting spells and defending. Take a good long look at how shishi shows how each piece of animation is done and it will all make more sense.

it wouldnt be a big deal if the sword wasnt on the casting arms, that would acctualy look better, i just want it to be on the moving arms

But you would have the spell casting arms, but under that you would have the walking arms all on one sprite. Because the spell casting position uses one of the walking animations, take a look at ShiShi's preview and it will make sense. I don't think you want your sprite with four arms when he is guarding or casting a spell.

excuse the double post, but i started doing the directions so the first thing i did was take the facing sprite, remove the arm and sword and draw what they where over, does this look good if it does than the next picture i post will hopefully have all of the moving sprites, if not than give me your suggestions, and i wasnt sure what to do with the hair so i just left it in

Keep the hair, and maybe fill in where the arms were so that when his arms swing there isn't a black abyss behind his arms.
