Sprite Improvement Needed

[Arcmagik]

Resource Type: Character Sprite

Maker Format: VX Ace

Art Style: Mack

Description:

If he's a side character he's great. If he's a main character, you should probably add a little more variety of color to make him more visually interesting.

I can edit things and even make minor changes. This seems beyond me... So I have come to ask the help of the more experienced Pixel Artists to see if they can help make the following sprite more visually interesting. The original character sprite used was "Brian" from 2k3. I have included the 2k3 Picture. Please keep in mind that this isn't necessarily a full sprite job. I just need the touch up (maybe the white or gold inlay in the armor) to make him more visually appealing as you will look at this Sprite for half the game (and have the option later to change his look).

I started working on this. Is this enough enhancement or is there something specific else you'd like?

 

[Arcmagik]

Wow. Loads better already. If you are willing to do anymore I'd only ask for the shoulder pads or the chest to be accented as well!

However I would be absolutely satisfied with just that!

 

[mlogan]

Shouldn't be a problem. I was thinking the chest needed something else anyway, just wasn't sure what and wanted to see if I was on the right track.

 

[Arcmagik]

@mlogan Definitely on the right track then. Thank you for the help. I eagerly await to see the final edits!

Thoughts? I'm not 100% sure, but if it suits you, I'll finish out the rest.

It looks fantastic. Night to day improvement over the original! Please finish out the rest if you will!
