Colours not final. Not happy with the front view for some reason... Possibly the angle of elevation? Any suggestions before I continue? Also, do you prefer it with or without the gills? I'm all for dropping the little details to try and make it fit the MC style, but I can't decide either way on this one...

D: And... as for the eyes, they're actually less expressive in the game, less differing from the rest of their body. Maybe try and use a lighter colour on the pupils. Amazing job on AA-ing, pose and anatomy, though. Very amazing, indeed. Logged

Well, I'll start by saying these are probably the best Zora sprites I've seen on these boards.

Now I'll move on to the negatives:
>They're too large.

>They're in the wrong perspective (a trait I've noticed in a lot of your sprites). MC very rarely shows purely straight on or side on sprites. There's almost always an angle of elevation, especially in the larger sprites, a category which atm these definitely fit into.

>The outlines are badly rendered; as a general rule, Mc sprites have light dependent outlighting. ie. the outlines darken towards the bottom of the sprite, and to the underside of forms which obscure the light from reaching them.

You might also want to provide 1x as well as 2x versions of your sprites next time.

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 458	Update: Re-worked them based on your suggestions, and whilst I'm satisfied with the side view(s), there's still something I don't like about the front view. And the rear view is a bit of a rush-job. Don't know what makes them so hard to get right - a big part of their character is how tall and elegant they are, something that doesn't perhaps translate well when being super-deformed. I'm not gonna make them any shorter, as I still want them to stand head and shoulders above Link. And the detail on the guard's pike will change when I can get some reference images. All this is done from memory... Logged

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 2890	Fantastic ! Great work, King Mob . But, may I suggest you change the topic title ? When there's a topic about Zoras with TP spoilers, I kinda tend to guess there might be Zoras in TP. Or am I thinking too highly of ZFGCer's deductive skills? Anyway, great work, can't think of any way to improve it . Logged

	Needs some work here and there, on the shading, pose&anatomy (arms especially), however, the sprites are very solid. Nice work. Logged

	I'd just work on refining it. Cleaning up edges, tweaking the contrast and just making things sharper in general. Here's a quick example: Mine > Yours. There's still a few things that could be cleaned up further, but I'm a horrible nitpicker. Logged
