Not at all. I like alot of it. In fact I think your getting better as you go along, and I think you should go back over things occasionally as your skills progress. Not that you wouldn't do that anyways. The b.u guy was in smudge heaven though....
Edit: I do have to say the details are being obscured, like the guy on the "spike" or whatever....the anatomy is ignored quite a bit. The boots aren't red, they are covered in blood. The knee has been moved into the shin.
And the first post with the three Demon pics, its interesting to see quality improve from 1 to 3.
When I mentioned layers before, I wasn't talking about adding shading, I was talking about managing the image. If you saw what vader(or is it nash?) was doing, you can get an idea of what I am talking about. You can see he understands the figure and he is editing it according to the shapes the body is comprised of. When your drawing a figure, particularly the broad lines of the body's skeletal structure, you are taught to draw through the body, even if another body part is covering it up. A layer can do this in a decent art program.
I say take your time. Learn to enjoy the project and the work involved in it. This is something that should be quality over quantity (speaking in a manner regarding the workload or something i guess....) for many reasons.
Saying scaling will reduce these errors is preposterous. Please don't take any of this the wrong way, I wish you guys the best of luck. And I can understand how enthusiasm can make one want to produce everything right away.

I dunno. I just don't think you can get away with speeding through something like this. Its just going to look rushed. On the same token, I don't think it would take as long as you may think. I mean, I know what your going through. And I know the frustration of people's opinion and/or desire. I just think you could do it, and if your talented enough, why not?

No no. I'll disagree there too. The sprites can't be made for years, that's what would be insane.
-You seem to forget this is just a bit of help, and whether you call these hi-res or not, they ARE at a much higher resolution than the original sprites, which, already shown, don't look even in HQ4x nearly as good as our sprites here.

-But yeah, quantity comes first for a Good reason: We can Always add and make changes in the end results, because sometimes we can see ourselves that they're pretty bad. Editing these is easy, not hard, so we can always add detail and shading.

-As for anatomy, the only thing wrong is that person, because I'm not an anatomy student, flat.
Also, I didn't realize the guy's boot was covered in blood, because, look at the sprite, it looks like his boot is pink and red, doesn't look like blood at all... but I can change that, I guess

It took 40 minutes to do that.. *runs*
Though I'll admit, it looks kinda badass. Fixing is always possible when you have the source.

EDIT: The knee has been moved into the shin??? XD Just look closely. His leg is bent, that's why his knee is so low. All there is to fixing that is shading, and done....

I like what your doing, don't get me wrong. I just don't see the point in "HD" sprites if they aren't done properly.
And his leg isn't bent. You can't just throw the figure out the window and hope for the best.(And no, it wouldn't take years for it to be done, it WOULD however feel tedious....
(Edit: another good reason for layers, do the blood on a second layer....)
(hey, I think the face and abdomen are great...don't sell yourselves short. You guys do posses alot of talent. )

Well bravo... no seriously, bravo. That was a good picture example Thanks, I get what you mean about the knee now.
-As for the boots, they really do look red, not bloody, but I'll change the legs anyway... and yes, I did kinda rush through from the waist down, except for the first boot I made.
-Well then, I'll get working on remaking his legs

experiment of mine. So I transformed Pelle's Cacodemon, by adding shade and lights to make him detailed and
almost look 3D.

-Here's what I got:


Was the transformation good?
(and yeah, took shitloads of time to make... but, whatever)
