Hey Poco Loco. I saw the two ports you put up and I can see we have a similar ideal! You have color choices I like and values are similar to what I'm going for. I like the ammount of contrast you use also. The Vargas is actually quite nice. I'd just say perhaps when shading hair think of the shapes as ribbon. That has helped me a lot for some reason. That's cool you have done freelance. I'd like to get into that sort of thing possibly. I'll have more time later to check out the custom work on this site; I have been busy for the last 2 days.
I haven't really been into pixeling long.. you should see my 1st sprite lol .. I only made about 6 months ago. I tried to make a Terra for Final fantasy Tactics, It was rejected actually(@FFH..I think I saw you posted there).. which means it had to be really bad.
I have to say they kind of molded me at ffhacktics..I'm not advertising, but because of how people there for some reason were extra demanding to me particularly. I thought it was some sort of jinx.. but it made me one of the better spriters there. You can go through each sprite frame by frame and not find 1 error which is pretty rare when it comes to custom sprites. Usually there is a few errors in the face or hair colliding with the arms etc.
This guy JimmyJW88 used to ride my ass on every post til I started making better ports/sprites than him heh. Now he's gone. I used to get so annoyed but his nagging in the end it helped. But the reason it bothered me was because other people were putting out sprites full of errors whilst getting no feedback or critisism yet mine were being fully scrutinized to every pixel. I'm not sure why the crits honed in on me.. must of been because the first sprite had so many issues.
