The palettes look pretty good, but the last one will certainly take some getting used to. I like the purple one a lot, even though it's a tad bit reminiscent of the first blue palette. Nonetheless, great job so far.

Are you talking about the part covering his left cheek? If so, that's not quite a cutoff point. It's just resting over his face, but do what you want; I'm the only one griping about this.

Oh these look wonderful but on the portrait on our right side there's this fat two pixel wide line...just kinda there!

Ohh, I thought you were talking about the back end of the hood that got cut off by the edge of the portrait or something.  I could try to round that up a bit, although other people were complaining it was too loose earlier..  As for the last one. well, I was trying for the 'Death Knight' look R999 gave his Paladin sprite.

Ah, that was from me stetching it slightly improperly when I made it larger.  Happens sometimes.  It's kind of annoying when it does.

Now that Guard's pretty much done, here's my preview of my next project--the Adventurer.  I'm trying for an Indiana Jones-esque feel when I think Adventurer.

Well, it's certainly getting a vibe you're going for but..
It still only reminds me of chemist with a new hat.

Try going for a bit of a different look? o=

This looks nice, but change pants and make his...thing on the back more like backpack, add some stripes and backpack will be done..

Edit: you may want to use this for some sprite:

Here's a second version, let me know which one is better.

better, the other one looked too chemisty.

I say his top is certainly better, but those pants arte just strange on him!
Second one is better, though.

What's wrong with the pants?

Quote from: "DeadManWalking"What's wrong with the pants?

Well, in the facing forward pose, it almost looks like big poofy grandma underwear.
So that's all I can see it as!

Not saying it's not well done, or anything.. Just looks strange to me!

finish fixing up the pants (crouch up slightly, thin pants slightly, darken color slightly)

EDIT: got someone else to fill this request

Hat seems too small/narrow on every pose. Make it bigger. The forward-facing frame, for instance, simply needs to be extended outward two pixels. You might also want to remove the design on the shoulders--they become too distracting once the backpack is in place. And finally, there's some dark outline on the white part of the hat--revise that.

This is a very interesting sprite though; once we get a nice looking whip into the game, we can finally have Indiana Jones join the party.

Working on the arm/shoulders would be really annoying >_> but I'll check it out.

then make a nice basic zombie sprite, you have free reign as far as base/looks go, so long as it is quite clearly a "zombie" and don't do the whole "corny" things like arms out and such. Just a nice basic semi-rotten(some bone showing/skin rot/etc) living corpse.
somewhere between a ghoul from fall out and emily from corpse bride?

I don't know about all of that, I'm not very great at making sprites from scratch, but I intend to include an 'undead palette' on all of my sprites from now on, from R999's use of one on the Paladin sprite.  If you see one you like, just tell me.

I approve this idea.  You know, you could change the dancer cloth into a whip if you were so inclined.

I'm getting rid of the Dancer class, so I might just do that if I can =P

i agree with mari actually, the pants look a little out of place... maybe make them a browinish color or something? or can you just make them lower and cover his ankles by any chance?

and in the one where he's facing straight left, it looks like he's got a boner XD

You ignored what I said, but whatever.

Dude, I changed the entire sprite, I don't think I can change the pants any more than that.

edit: Blah, I tried making the pants thinner, but it makes 'em look odd
