If you ask why sigma doesn't have any cool looking Zero hair, that's because Sigma is bald and so is his armour.

[Blackhook]

O.O.....BWa-ha-ha-ha-ha....Thatīs some preety nifty Idea, I can only complain about X sigmaīs helmet, wich seems small, and Zero sigma boob lights, wich are positionet oddly

[The Sian Random Man]

I don't know how to explain it, but it looks crappy.
The ideas good, and I can't tell why it looks bad, truth be told its made well... but...
Maybe the concept doesn't mix well with the new armors, I dunno.

[RantingRodent]

I think the perspective on Sigma's face is slightly different from the perspective on X and Zero; he is facing the camera more. It makes the face stand out in a bad way, looks pasted in. If you adjust Sigma's face to look more forward and less to the side, I think that will do wonders.

[The Sian Random Man]

It will in zero's face, but on the X sprite he looks like a monkey.

[thefirstbornclawman]

and what if i tried tho change the angle of the helmet?

[The Sian Random Man]

probably would help, too :P

[thefirstbornclawman]

changed both of them, how are they now?

[Snap]

rofl, crazy idea.
But really funny

[Gregarmet]

the Zero version still looks strange but the megaman one is good ^^

[thefirstbornclawman]

changed Zero-sigma's helmet a little, any better now?

middle one is the new one

[The Sian Random Man]

slightly better. My suggestion change sigmas face instead of helm.

[thefirstbornclawman]

how's this?

And about the idea, why do villains always need to come up with something that looks cool, but is useless, keep it simple.

[Xterra]

Oh...my...Good job on surprising me...I wasn't expecting to see this at all.

The knee spikes on SigmaZero do look...non-existant though.

How about making the white spieks actually stick out of his boots?

[thefirstbornclawman]

ooh, i acctually didn't know those were spikes, i thought something like spots or something, anyway:

[The Sian Random Man]

the face is still weird. Turn his face, not the helm. Reuse the first versio nof the helmet and turn sigmas face instead of Zero's

[Xterra]

That, and I just noticed the farthest helmet spike looks too low.

And yes, turning Sigma's face, not Zero's helmet, would help.

Oh, and good job on what you did with the knee spikes.

[thefirstbornclawman]

alright, how's this?

[The Sian Random Man]

slightly better. Still need to turn his face.

his face must be seen from only one side. you can see half of the nose and one eye. in here you can see more.

[thefirstbornclawman]

okay, tryed to make it work out, how's this?

[The Sian Random Man]

He looks like an overgrown baby now =/

[thefirstbornclawman]

can you explain that please?

[turpinator]

Good, but the face seems flat now, maybe you should make the nose stick out one pixel.

[thefirstbornclawman]

here he is, with nose.

[turpinator]

Good. Since I don't fully know X style that is the only criticism I can throw out.

[thefirstbornclawman]

i think Zero-sigma is finished, up to the next one Flame Mammoth:

[Vee]

These sprites are full of fail.
But its fail in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but they are ENTIRELY screwed up.

[Drei]

With Zero Sigma, he has two lightsources, and a very messy shoulder. Flame Mammoth Sigma seems like it should have a bigger buster and better use of the green on the shoulders.

[thefirstbornclawman]

tryed to fix both of them, how's this?

[Xterra]

You did so much better with FlameMammothSigma than the others.

[thefirstbornclawman]

Now up to the next armour, this is pretty silly, springman!

[Xterra]

Hehehe...please tell me your going to have his stomach bounce up and down.

The buster looks pillow-shaded, but the armor itself is amazingly awesome.

(EDIT)- Wait...it isn't really "pillow-shaded"...but more "lacking-detail".

It's just too bland/flat. I think you need to implement more detail into it.

[thefirstbornclawman]

well, there just isn't much detail on Springman's buster, so how should i do that?

[Xterra]

"Much detail"? I haven't checked, but I'm sure it isn't that "empty".

Do you see the sort of lines you put on the other arm? Doing something like that to the buster arm as well would help that problem, and improve it. See?

[thefirstbornclawman]

how's this?

[Xterra]

Much better...it no longer seems so "empty" like it did before.

[thefirstbornclawman]

fifth one: frostman

EDIT: freezeman

[Blackhook]

thatīs freeze Man

[Xterra]

I'm glad that you stopped making helmets for Sigma... >.>

Your armors are awesome...but a helmet...on Sigma...not as good an idea. :P

FreezeMan looks cool. I like his shoulders. Very nice.

[Drei]

It looks like just a copy&paste job. I know the legs, body, nad arms are custom, but the shoulders are so big, and I believe they are taken staright from Freeze, making it look less custom.

[Zombiechao]

Please no more sigma. Please.

[thefirstbornclawman]

Update, Bass in mmx style:
