Twinees' Sprites

[mav]

Basically, it'll look like this when scaled to actual portrait size. Unless we decide to make the portrait off-center or something.

[Luminar]

tough one, but do u really need both wings instead of just one on the left?...

[Sephirot24]

It looks fine like that. It's obvious that those are the wings and it wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

[jimmyjw88]

I think it looks fine too.

[mav]

Does it look enough like the character? I dunno where to go from here, and since it's already at 16 colors, I figured that I could just leave it as is...

[MiKeMiTchi]

I like it.
Show the left wing more, mav. Translate the head some pixels to the left..

16 colors? Hmm.. I hope you could reduce that mav, so you can add his neck accessory.
Add his outfit, too.

[jimmyjw88]

Yeah, I think show one side of the wing more is good.

[goldenshinywire]

Wow,twinees, this is looking really, really good! I like to draw pictures using computer software, but I've never tried to sprite before.

[Seushiro]

try off center mav with the right shoulder showing. . . or attach wings more on the back instead of the shoulders. . .

[mav]

Sorry for the delay. Here's pretty much what it looks like off center.

EDIT: Two versions. You guys pick which shoulder should be the one that stays...

[Xifanie]

1. Because the face is in the middle

The second one looks really weird compared to other portraits.

[Vanya]

What Zodiac said.

[jimmyjw88]

Yes, what Zodiac said. Perhaps bring his left wing up for the first version.

[SilvasRuin]

Definitely the first one.  Plastering someone's face to the edge of the portrait does not look good.

[mav]

Cool cool, I like the top one more too. What else do I need to change on it?

[jimmyjw88]

Alright, now that only one will be more visible, let's make that look better.
Hmm....perhaps the right edge move up a little bit or add a few pixels and the left edge, move in nearer to the neck. (our right and left)

[Twinees]

Wow, looking awesome mav. The top picture definitely looks right, but as people mentioned above, try to make the left wing more seeable.

 
Little Update:


Also, A little suggestion, . See how his his wing is connected to the top of his shoulder? Could you do something like that mav? and maybe his wing can go higher a bit?

Just suggestions though.

[mav]

Alright, take a look.

The dead sprite looks fantastic, by the way. Though the darkest red may be overused on the wings...

[jimmyjw88]

That dead frame is amazing, as mav said.
About the portrait, yes, I agree; used of dark red a little bit. I think the wing should move up a little bit. Maybe closer a bit to his cheek?

[Twinees]

The portrait is looking really good now, near completion? maybe a few more edits then this portrait will be up and running.

Update:
