Zephyr's sprite

Well first and foremost I just started spriting as i write this. I am new to this and hopefully i’ll try my best to improve on this. As you can see I tried but i don’t think it looks nice, it looks like a kid trying to draw xD. Anyways hopefully i’ll draw better sprites

Is that Samson from the hit book, the Bible!?!? But seriously, it looks real good.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, appreciate it! But now i’m going to try to animate it though i will have to resize him. He’s gonna be a taller than zephiel hehe.

I think for the this sprite i’m gonna do it like a Sage battle animation.

Additionally his body has 4 palette colour, i’m gonna have to reduce to 3.

What do you think?

And if you haven’t noticed, he was once the man they call the emperor but now he sits on the golden throne!:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Not sure where to improve :sleepy_face:

I think it needs more frames in general.
Second the shadow doesnt need to be darker then the outline, the outline is the darkest colour and isnt pure black. Because of that you use too many colours aswell.
You have many spikes in the sprite try to smooth them out, there are some guides how a pixalted curve looks like and try to look at other sprites aswell.
for the blue chosen the values are too different, maybe try to use some colours shared in the hair and for te rope to get it smoother and bring the colour count down.
For the animation itself the robe is rather growing then moving.
For the dodge more of the body should switch aswell, you can copy from preexisting animations and look how they made it for example the axe fighter.
With all that said, for the first examples of animating and spriting this is really impressiv!

thanks for the feedback you could also take a look at the latest aniamtion i made, i want him to be standing (I’m not good at making moving sprites :rofl:) and not moving much but i appreaciate the feedback!! in the future i’ll see whether i can add more frames and change his movement. :face_with_monocle:

For his colors there is one extra palette that anyone can edit if they want i tried my best to minimize the color’s on his body but my eyes tired haha. So if i edit the shadow to the outline color then that will mean that there is 2 extra palette color.

I’ll see what else i could do to edit :thinking:

What if it look like this? for example
