Sym-Spidey(I'm Getting Better)

tell me what you think, honest criticism, please
also please compare to my first attempt at an edit(The Falcon)

You asked for my honest opinion in a PM so you'll get it .; but you may not like it .

OK , this is a character I have been doing something with lately . Here's one of my sprites .

 

Notice how mine has different shades of Blue & Black . His palette can be changed to whatever colors I want them & they will look good because of the shading .  The Spider logo on his chest & back ( which is not visible ) Are totally redrawn .

how exactly are you trying to sprite these characters ? Use Fighter Factory first & just make a new palette so all the shading will be there for you . Look at this thread

I made a tutorial for another new creator about all this . it's on page 3 of the thread . It's a good example of changing the palette & editing the sprite into something different .

okay thanx, but could you please explain what exactly wrong, because i thought i had shaded and i chose two different colors for my character, but i'm confused by your answer, what wrong with the edit?

I think I have 6 different shades of Blue & black in my symbiote spidey sprite . It's what kind of makes him stand out . Just 2 different colors really doesn't cut it . the character will look all one color for the most part .

If you want to make a good sprite, you need lots of colors. I recomend....
Main Color: 4-6 colors
Primary Detale: 3-4 colors
Secondary Detale: 2-3 colors
Anymore detales after that: 1-3 colors

Becides, all you did was turn his back spider white and then fill in black for the rest of it, thats not good at all, thats just tossing it togeather.. And if you were editing it, wouldnt you want to remove the pink background?

Listen to what DT said.  Dont create you're own shading unless you are going for a different look other than mvc or you are doing some intense editing.  Use the shading spidy already has a guide.  Change the palette using fighter factory and then edit it from there.

Take a look at the animations in my sig.  I started out with those sprites by first changing the palette to make it easier.

I just realized that i uploaded the wrong picture, i will fix that momentarily, no wonder i was confused
