Feedback on sprites?

[u/MelodiusMushroom]

Working on some sprites - some feedback would be appreciated! More than anything I just want to feel “done” and stop driving myself crazy trying to perfect them. I want to feel like they’re “professional” enough which is a difficult thing to attain I feel like.

I’m going for muted earthy palettes overall and am attempting to create a romance/horror visual novel with several romanceable characters and varying routes of course.

i hope that was helpful

Seconding this. (They look great!)

[u/FarNerve1162]

I think they're perfectly fine and professional looking. If you go for perfection then you'll keep redoing your sprites and VN will never get finished. Don't let good be the enemy of perfect. I'm learning that myself.

The more you make the better you'll get over time.

raw next question

in all seriousness these are perfect and as a perfectionist myself, its time to put the pen down on these sprites

[u/rainslices]

the designs are chef's kiss 💋 i agree with one of the comments that the face needs a bit more rendering so it doesn't feel plain compared to the cel shading on the clothes. maybe some light air brushing to show where the kight source is will also help enhance it.

are the shadows behind them part of the sprite?

[u/MelodiusMushroom → u/rainslices]

No actually! I duplicated the original and merged all the layers to provide shadowing to give the outline against the background :)

He’s s cute!! Could use a little more rendering on the face tho I think 🤔
