It's been awhile so I'm wondering how If I still have my spriting ability.

1. A somewhat different pantheon. (The mug was HARD.)
2. Omicron and Omega sprites. Omicron has three mugs.
3.A somewhat redesigned model paladin.
4. Reploid ciel.

Let me know how I can improve, Etc.

Pantheon seems to be largely a recolour with minor edits, the most noticeable being a headswap. Omega and Omicron could do with different poses as they aren't Zero. Model P's light grey needs more contrast. Even if you put the darker colours around it, it is too low in contrast for ZX style. And Reploid Ciel looks mostly like a man except for the head, granted most of what you did was recolour then edit the torso and added the skirt.

Welcome back.

Felt like more editing on everything but ok...

Whoops, didn't see you wanted to be directly told how to make everything better, where I usually point out the flaws that you can fix.
Pretty much, more editing on everything to be obvious it isn't editted. Especially Ciel, you might want to give her an entire new pose and change the thickness of the body.

Yeaaaaaah! Good to see you. As Drei said, some more editing would probably be good.

I actually did edit that. Zoom in and you'll see differences
Tuna: Don't be too excited. I leave for 2 YEARS on Feb.24th.

Nice to see you back Tark', but have you visited my thread(s)? I ask, not to advertise my sprite thread, but because I have updated sheets of Omicron. They're a lot better than the previous versions, and I wanted to know if you'd seen them, since you're using a more old version of Omicron in your sheet.

I wanted to know if you wanted to keep our Omicrons the same, or split the project. I don't really mind, but since we started this together I'd like to keep it together. Omi's sheet, armors, and mugs are all updated to a new version. These newer versions help make him look a little less like a perfect Zero, so that people don't have to complain "that's just a Zero/Omega edit".

And now for some critique. Your new Omi mugs are good, but the ear is all wrong. For the Zero mugshot towards the bottom of the screen, it works, but in the three Omi mugs the ear's position and size is incorrect. For those mugshots you need to make the earpieces more vertical, and larger. Keep the oval shape, but it does have to be re-angled and resized to work right.

Another thing is that the scratches on Omi's damaged helm looks like oil smears. they need to be scrapes of paint removed from the helmet, or even slight indents instead of just a palette darkness. Finally, the blood smear from his lips was a wonderful touch, but it goes too far down. Have the blood drop stop halfway, because when it reaches all the way down to his chin it looks more like his mouth is cut, or he's really unhappy. The shape of his mouth that the blood creates also reminds me of the Zatch-Bell (no idea how that's supposed to be spelled) android mouths.

With Model Paladin I see you raised the contrast of grey, which is excellent.

With the Reploid Ciel, I believe the final frame is the best clothes for her, but that the skirt could be shorter, because it would be very hard to run in that tight skirt you have her wearing at the moment. Otherwise; good.

Then, with the Pantheon, excellent frame conversions, and I like how you turned the SpiritX mugshot into a Pantheon mugshot, but my only problem is that on the white of his face the contrast is way too high between the shading and the outline. You need to lower the contrast between those two. Really, it's only that outline around the white that bugs me. Fix that, and I'm okay with the rest of it. If you can't lower the contrast, try AA on the outline.

(EDIT)-Almost forgot; I love Omicron's new sword. Although I had originally done away with the sword idea entirely due to storyline conflicts, I like the design you gave with the curve of the blade. Nice.

Might I ask, Why are you leaving for 2 Years?

He and Levi are going on their honeymoon and starting a family. Duh. *instantly shot by fanboys* But that is a good question.

I think your reploid Ceil looks really nice, however, is there any chance of making her a bit more feminine looking and not using recolored Zero legs?

Ecclesiastical reasons.

Okey-dokey, Not really good at spotting mistakes, but I'll gave it a go.

The scratches on.. Omicron?...'s helmet look a little weird..

But now, are you aware that if you make minor edits to your Pantheon that it'll look like X?

It's been done before. I based the pantheon off of the final cutscenes from megaman zero 1

UPDATE!
New mugs for model paladin. I put an oldie in there to compare.

It's still obvious what the base is. Along with the distinct brown lines all over it. It doesn't really look that much like Helios, right?

The eyes are actually someone elses. But yeah... It seemed to fit best.

Update! Little work on Reploid Ciel to show how she can still wear a skirt and Mugs of DZ's Darrel and model Dragonman. He's done many before (including ones with the same bases I used) So... Merry christmas DZ!
Also, I worked on the UN-generic pantheon a bit. He has "forms" based on other pantheons and other characters. If you can name all of them (or just show sprites) I'll be impressed. I also added a couple of X/ Copy X like sprites too.

Not bad on the DZ mugs, Tark.

The first two forms are : X form. Somewhat based on the fist pantheon from MMZ1. The Zero form.

The last three: Two variations of rainbow devil and copy X pallette
