Hey everyone, been working on a bit of an upgrade of the sprites for Sophia III from Blaster Master for fun and practice. The sprite is from scratch but the layout and design of things is based on a combination of the original sprites and the official art for the game. So here it is, let me know what you think, here are the past versions:
(http://ubuntuone.com/p/g2D/) -> (http://ubuntuone.com/p/g2b/) -> (http://ubuntuone.com/p/hWT/) -> (http://ubuntuone.com/p/hWK/)
The current version(s):
(http://ubuntuone.com/p/hyh/) - (http://ubuntuone.com/p/hyv/)
And the main pieces of reference:
(http://ubuntuone.com/p/g2E/)
^ From the manual
(http://ubuntuone.com/p/g2I/)
^ From the opening

Looks pretty good, although honestly I've never liked the intro tank... I've never considered it to be an accurate representation due to it being the localization team's "redesign" of sorts :P
I'd also try to use an alternate palette, since it doesn't seem to "pop" as much as it should on some parts, and it looks a bit too blendy.
DJvenom and myself had made an HD variant to the tank a couple of years back; can use it for color selection, etc:

Very cool, I made a few changes with using the colors from it, I think it's looking much better:

Not sure if it's alright to bump this up but I made a lot of changes on the old version, I updated the first post with the older versions and the newest one.
Here are the two versions I'm working with right now, the second one has a minor change on the body where it connects to the glass and I'm still deciding which version I should continue with, I'm liking the second better though.

Let me know what you think. Also, I'm basing most of the design off of the top reference.
