Heres my first base Icon I've made for quite sometime. I can never do side views/movements, They are a pain.




Looks good but I think the eyes are too spaced-out on the south frame. And the chin on the side frames kind've just connects with the chest, making it appear that it lacks a neck. Just my own opinion really. Could use a little work but I like it.

south and north states dont really go with the side states, i like the general shape of the south state tho

Well, ya pulled em off pretty well, here.

I generally don't post C&C in the showroom (I'd rather people look for C&C in the works in progress section), but I did see something kinda weird here.

First, lemme say that it's a good BYOND-style base. And most of the AA is really pretty good. I like the use of colors for outlining and shading the body. So: good!

But! I think you cut some corners a bit too much with the north state. Check it out:


It would appear that your base (on the left) has eyes in the back of its head. <music>Duh duh DUUUUUH!!!!</music>. They may be closed now, but if those puppies opened they'd scare the livin crap outta me.

I think you might've just taken your north state and recolored some pixels (the back looks good, tho.) My edit (on the right) maybe explains a lil better than I could in werdz, what I mean when I say: use your own eyes to give yourself some C&C first before anyone else. Even though you saved some time by using the north state, you've gotta go back and see what didn't work.

The back of the head is a sphere with no chin. I took the light pixels around the bottom of the head out and recolored. Since there's no chin (and the head sits somewhat forward on the neck), you'd see the neck fully. Also, the feet of your north and south states are the same. Unless this suckas got mutant feet with toes coming out both directions, those hafta change too.

All that crap being said: this is a good BYOND base. Just be careful when cutting corners that you don't turn your base into a circus performer's union leader.

Wow, the south state looks pro. But I don't know what happened after that, the side looks like he's eating his chest. Anyway, if you want any crits on how to improve the work post it "WIP", in the mean time I'll be eager to see how you make the front move.
Ok I finished the base movements and I edited the side view and added a bit of a neck. [WIP]

Also what do you think of this Academy in WIP.

You still have a chin on the back of his head (the outline). The feet are still pointing backwards in the north states.

When you walk the arm that goes forward is the one on the opposite side of the leg that moving forward. You have them reversed.

For the side view, round out the head's shape better. Also, lower the ears to about eye level (about two pixels down from the looks of it.) In the walk state, the arms seem to get really short on the sides.

No wonder everything so inconsistent...It all makes sense now, the marks on the back of the head, the guy eating his chest on the side...No way he made the south pro then the rest of the views that terrible.

I knew the south looked familiar, give credit where credit is due.

Wow... That makes me wonder what the point of this was. Did you expect someone to complete the views for you or something? Wow, now thats a huge dissapointment.

Meh.
There's definitely a lot of similarity, But it isn't a direct rip (even in the outline) of any of those states. He's probably learning from some version (or possibly both are modded from a third source).

Sometimes I wonder why people don't branch out more. For f's sake, make up your own style instead of recycling this same ole' rpg sprite again and again.
Out of curiosity when did you make this base icon?
And do you happen to go by the name Tadoe on some other sites? If not then well...yeah. Stealing someone else's work is bad.

Ah. Ok. Didn't think it was Metalfox's edit he was going after.

Blah, ya know what...screw it.
The only way he could make good would be if he was MetalFox and that just ain't gonna happen.

Standard bananation. Enjoy not seeing the forums, Syuujin.
