I felt like making a sprite thread since I have a few made already. (Only one character at the moment.)
I'm not really the best sprite editor. :sadshoe:

I only made one character (I may come back and do some more sprites for various characters, but that's all I have for now.)

PS. I am not forcing anybody to do sprites, I may take one of the available spriter slots one day. (I'm a bit busy with school lately *whimper*.)

Here's the logo.

Hmm... I'd consider putting a bit more detail into his hair. Especially in the zoomed-in sprites, you can see that there's big areas of blank spots. It's a bit distracting.

Are these your first sprites? Don't worry if they're not the best quality yet. Nobody's amazing when they start out (I know I wasn't).

Hm... I'll think about that. The black spot is just a way to remove Apollo's antennae from the original sprite.

Yes, these are my first sprites. I don't really know how to use shading, and I have a whole lot of sprites to do. (I may start drawing some of them.)

You might also want to consider using darker lineart for the hair! As it is, it doesn't look like it belongs on the sprite. Good job for your first sprites!

Alright, so after I added the advice into consideration, I came up with this:

Will this do? (Ignore the incomplete tie, I finished it in the animated one.)

Here's a new sprite! (unfinished)

Not the best, but it'll do.

Also, consider making both of Case's eyes wink in the zoomed-in sprites, seeing as how he look veeeeeery weird with one eye blinking only, almost amphibious! xD

Yeeah, I noticed that a while ago. I'm currently focusing on other character's sprites, most of Case's sprites are just beta. They'll be edited later.

Also, nice job on erasing his bracelet accurately (although the arm's shading could use some work, seeing as how the hand literally looks as if you pasted it atop the arm).

Hello. I've been thinking about the way you sprite for a while. What software do you use?

I also made you a quick edit as well as some explanation thing. If you're confused on anything let me know.

Well, I mainly use GIMP. (As you can see, I am a newbie at Sprite editing.)

And thanks for pointing those out! I should've learned more about shading before even start spriting. :sadshoe:

EDIT: After putting things into consideration:

(Can't say if it's any better, it still looks like a total mess.)

Don't stew over how bad you think it looks. It might look like a mess to you, but it has improved. What I see is someone with an idea but still unsure on how to make it work. In GIMP, an easy way to find the midtone is to make a new layer, draw a line, set the opacity of the layer to 50% then use the eyedropper to select that colour. Try adding the midtone to everywhere you recoloured Case (tie, waistcoat, hair) and the sprites will look so much better.

Then instead of messing around with trying to redraw bench sprites, start with front sprites. It's probably better to start that way - learn colouring without having to consider perspective in the way. There are a few reasons why Vincent looks wrong but it's probably a bad idea to dwell on that specific sprite for now so I'll make a mockup later.

Keep in mind that I am not really making anything to be perfect. However, I do appreciate the critique that you're giving! :will:

I will put the advice into consideration, and I will fix the sprites. (Someday.)

Alright, so I cleaned the sprite a bit, It doesn't look as messy as it did before...

I thought that he should be facing his light source on this one.

Alright, forget the other Case sprites. I realized that I should delete them and re-edit them completely.

Here's a -way- cleaner version than the terrible mess I had to put up with earlier.
