Tarkaris' New Sprites for PD and Review!

[Tarkaris]

It's been a long time... but now... I am redoing an old sprite sheet I once did...

Quake at... THE NEW STARCRAFT MARINE PREVIEW!

"It's about time." -Starcraft II trailer.

Please comment!

The old sheet is on the left.

New Preview on the right.

EDIT: UPDATE:
Redid shoulder and leg, Added Gauss rifle.

EDIT MK II:

Zeratul redone and height comparison (the old zeratul is next to Tark. The new one has his own file and is on the left on the compare chart.)

THIRD EDIT:
Removed old marine sheet and posted New ghost design

Edit Four:

Redid Ghost Rifle shading.

It's not so much right and left as up and down but that must be because of the dinge skin. Overall as much as the newer version is much more... anything, it's also much more cluttered and over detailed. I think a heavy edit with the original size and less contrast might help out. Also it's pillowshaded. I actually like the older version more, actually. Also, the leg's appear to be attached oddly to the lower chest- But that's mostly because the entire pelvis/waist area looks malformed in an odd way hard to describe.

[Tarkaris]

Update. (see first post)

Redid the shading and the helmet. The darker one is the newest edit.

EDIT:
Darker one with yellow visor deployed.

Why does that sheet remind me so much of Contra?

Now that you said that it DOES look like Contra! But any feedback?

[ProboPingas]

Well, they are kinda cool. I don't see anything wrong with the first sheet, but yes, the second sheet is pillowshaded. Make more poses, like ones where he's shooting at different angles, just like in Contra.

[Tarkaris]

Just a question then: Which bits are pillow shaded? Because just saying pillow shaded won't help.:o

[Kurasuke]

It actually does help, just not as much as it could. The shoulder and leg that are "closest" look pillowshaded.

[ProboPingas]

Yeah what this guy said ^^^. NOW MAKE MORE POSES!

[Tarkaris]

UPDATE:
Redid shoulder and leg of the Marine, Added Guass Rifle.

[Tarkaris]

EDIT OF FIRST POST. NEW ZERATUL AND HEIGHT COMPARE CHART.
ALSO,
Art from Starcraft II of Zeratul and the Marine

Feedback please!

The skin seriously needs to be shaded. As it stands right now, it's clashing with the gold portions of the sprite.

Yeah, About that. It's technically "Shaded" but the pallete isn't the best. Any other feed back?

[Lern]

Up the contrast of the grays by a lot and give it some highlights?


Also, the head is too wide but not spikey enough, so to speak.

[Tarkaris]

EDIT of first post.

Redid Zeratul's skin and cloth colors. As for the spikier head... I don't want to over clutter it.

[Lern]

Tark, I know/love how you edit the first post each time, but do you mind adding it to the newest post when you update, too? It's annoying to read that and go all the way up then down to respond, generally making this topic very... You know.


EDIT: And some crit;

I think the ENTIRE sprite can do with the same edit you did to the head, more contrast and highlights. Excluding the gold and the purple, less contrast there but more highlights.

[Tarkaris]

I decided to take a break from Zeratul for a bit and went with redoing the ghost. The new ghost design is in red. The old one is blue.
Let me know what ya think!

[Tarkaris]

I redid the ghost's rifle shading. I think it looks a LOT better. Comments?

[Tarkaris]

It's official. I think people hate me or somethin. (Or jsut not Starcraft II fans.)
So I post something, Signs of what is to come!

BEHOLD! Remakes and new stuff!

On the left we have Tarkaris' normal form. I've decided to make it guardian green, give him a helmet, redo the vest and arms, and on one variant stuff the pants into the boots. The Grey jacket is the old version.

Next, Since MMZXA A new master has been chosen! They chose him while he was young to help raise him as a good master. Name is undecided but I shall call him "Alan" for now.

Model Paladin: On the right of the file, the left of the two, The Paladin Saber gets a redesign! It now has a sword-like blade and a gold hilt.

Let me know what you all think!
