Hello everyone. I thought I would attempt a MM8 styled Galaxy Man sprite. I edited the head from Astro man obviously, and I edited the feet from a Dynamo man sprite. I ended up with something that resembles Split Mushroom

Then again, so is Galaxyman. This is a pretty good sprite, although the feet are too large.

You used astroman's head, and That's the main problem here...

His head is way too small, the fact that their remarkably similar won't justify using it, and it would make it work. It needs to be bigger! The hands need to be worked on, and the feet need to be scratched and based off a character in that style of spriting and not cropped off of a 32bit X sprite.

The only way your reply works out is if you were in a hurry and confused Dynamo Man (the lame electric bot) and Dynamo (Pikachu Man!). Or if you just didn't do more than look at the sprite.

And on the sprite, I think that what's needed is a larger "saucer" shape, and smoothing out the saucer's shading so it's 32 bit. Right now, it looks a bit too 16-bit, with the stripes of shininess being TOO bright and shiny.

Well, I was a little upset. I was kind of expecting something else here so that's probably why I got ahead of myself..

But you gotta admit, the feet do look a lot like X's...

Nah, I say they look more like Mega Man's. And the saucer's shape isn't proportional. The right side is too short compared to the left side.

Yes. A foot shaped blob under a leg shaped blob. So do most of the robot masters and many humanoids in the X series.

Alright, so I now redid parts of him now. The shader on the saucer got nixed and redone. I redid the legs now, athough they may seem a bit off. The hands I fixed a little bit, but Im gonna work on them more. Overall though, I think its coming along.

I think you should round the right (our right) part of the saucer, make it go up a bit more, so it's "higher" behind Galaxy Man's head.

The saucer's shading is much better, in my opinion, but you should adjust the boots' grey so it looks just a bit shinier. Maybe a slightly better contrast between the second-palest shade of grey and the second-darkest shade of grey, and shading more of the boots with the darkest shade of grey...? The bottom of the boots look fine to me, though, so don't change that.

The legs still need a bit more work, maybe you want to make them look a bit thicker where they meet the hips so they don't look as... noodley.
