It looks pillow-shaded so avoid that by picking a light source which will give your sprite depth by creating highlights and shadows.
You should also avoid using bright colours like youre using in most cases because its kind of an eye sore sometimes. I made a quick edit but I suck at light sources myself as Im still learning(sigh) and this the first time Ive touched a slime sprite. You should try to make the slime transparent and have its shadow on the floor visible through the slime.

Okay, I took your suggestion into consideration and I like how it turned out. Any more suggestions?
-
The issue you have zecco is pillow shading. It's an ugly way to shade and is so 1990s. Skeme's looks better as his is not as pillow shaded.
EDit: gave a 5 minute take on it. Probably no better but whatever.

To be honest, That's not really the graphical style I like. My style has a more plain feel to it, and I like that. Just keep in mind, I just quickly edited that to my likings, I think skeme's looks worse than my second attempt, yours most definately, I'll get stuff arranged sooner or later. Honestly, Just give me some time.
Plus, so I can't be disturbed I'm going to lock this.
-
I will keep it locked but what was the point of asking for criticism and suggestions for a sprite if you just lock the topic when you don't like what you are criticized on?
You are better off deleting this thread which I can do for you if you wish so no ones continues to download the sprites you don't want used. Just PM me.
-
Sorry for out-bursting there. I already see what you mean now. It gets better each time I modify it. (I guess I just need to put more time into what I do) Unlocked the topic for now.. Just to get some more opinions.
I was getting a bit annoyed there. No worries. (Attached Image is from a different frame)
-
Much better! Good job. I have no idea why you got annoyed though. You asked for help and when we helped you, you got annoyed lol
Oh well, at least you apologized now.
Time is key when spriting. The more time you put in, the better(usually!)
I made another edit just because my 1st one was so crappy. Im learning too.

To be completely honest, I fail bad at hand drawing, but when I open up paint, stuff like this happens. Thanks for the help. I'll continue to work on my skills.
Also, that attempt you had there has some screwed up colors IMO. Try using colors that go more with each other than using insane light green next to dark green. I learned that a long time ago LOL.

It looks kinda... phallic. You should probably mess with the shading on the head to make it look a little bit less so

I put insane light green on there because your object is supposed to be slime, so therefore it will be quite reflective. The insane light green is replacing the white highlight colour that you chose...which is further away from dark green than insane light green is. :P
It makes sense to me.

Are you saying it looks like a wang! I wasnt even concerned with the shape or anything like that lol :)
My edit was just to give the guy some more ideas. It was done very quickly with no real thought or effort.

Haha, Walnut's right and now I can't look at it any other way D:
As far as everybody's edits of Zecco's slime, they're only "better" if more 3D dimensional is what Zecco is going for. If you're trying to emulate a really old-school, simple style, then you're doin' pretty well. If you're going for more modern graphics, then Skeme's edits are definitely helping you get there.
Also, skeme, I see where you're coming from with the super vivid green in the middle there, but it seems a little TOO much to me, too. I agree that it should be light and bright because it's reflective, but I think it should be just a tiny shade darker, or the surrounding area a shade lighter.
Maybe.

@Donotfeedthemax - Yeah, now that I take time to look at it, youre completely right. As I said before, I didnt put much thought into it. But it looks OK on the 'head' though, right lol...or does it still contrast too much in your opinion? Im still learning this whole light-source and stuff myself so forgive me if my edits suck.
I honestly dont see a wang there myself haha But I suppose looking at a lot of HR Gigers work lately mightve caused my shading to give that effect...
Edit- I SEE IT!!! Lmfao

Oops double post.

Your original design had the best shading, just not enough contrast to give the piece depth :3 Also added floaties inside the goop dude :D
-
Yes. YES. YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!
-
@DJ Venom - Nice transparency effect!
I had to update my previous attempt because a few things were bugging me about it ;)
Used DJ Venoms floaty things to make it more interesting.

Master Yoshi, yours looks like a fetus!

Yoshi's reminds me of the baby from Eraserhead...

Ahhh, thanks for the tip. No wonder I couldn't figure out why it looked so plain. But I would much rather get my current style perfected.

Very nice, I like that style aswell, But it doesn't really fit the game we have planned out. :)
Green Slimy Substance FTW.
-
Hehe. Well I guess mine was good practice for a future Morpha attempt.
-
Very cool take on the slime, Yoshi! Great style :)
