Been a while since I posted anything, went for a style I feel more comfortable with. The arms are where the differences are. frames 1 and 3 are the same arm style with different hands. ditto for frames 2 and 4. the hands are just ideas for now and with the rest are subject to change as well. Hell, everything is subject to change, I would just like some input, and ideas on what changes would help the most.

Thanks!

I'd say:
-number four reads the best (vs. 2 as far as hands and vs. 1 & 3 as far as legs)
-lengthen the upper arm on the east facing frame.
-I'm not sure if your other frame isn't too flat (side scroller perspective) compared to the east facing.
-it's a little hard to tell how some of that line art will play out without any blocked in colors...
...but otherwise, it's good and stylish.

Is that why you posted? (Heh)
I did take a break for a couple of months (I never intended it to be forever - I just needed to ramp down my activity on BYOND and quit pushing). I was pretty burned out on a couple of fronts and frustrated with BYOND for a few reasons. I'm still quite retired from mod'ing these forums (you can consider the mod tag by my name just for show - like a napolean hat on an asylum patient). M, P, and A are doing a fine job on the guild and I try to stay out of their way.
But, no, this isn't a resurgance. I just post about three things a week and this time one was on your thread.
Lucky you, huh?

Ack! You caught me! How'd you figure my only goal was to come up with something absurd, common, and yet somehow a little original just to con you into making another post!

LoL, no, I kid. But thanks for the input in the previous post (I couldn't think of a reply beyond "I thought you left" because of my shock of you responding...) I'm making some adjustments, coloring, etc. Will edit with update.

Nice work. I'm liking the shading. Not to wonder off topic, but didn't you work on DBZ Spar back in the day with Ebonshadow?

I softened your outlines, and tried to soften some shading that made the limbs look odd.

Not on DBZ Spar, though I was working on some side projects for/with Ebon
