Kitsu Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'd say to use a different color for the shoulder pads. As it they are now, you could just say they're ivory-colored. Otherwise, my other crit is that the cloak should probably wrap around his neck a bit more, especially on the right side (his left). Right now, his neck looks really long thanks to that space on the right side, but you could give the illusion that it isn't so long just by having the cloak take up more of that space.

Joerachi Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) His shoulders are too lowww. Neoned out Lance. His shoulder armor is slightly more thicker, though, it may only be by a pixel or so. But yeah, shoulders are way too low. He's also missing part of his shoulder. owo Edited May 10, 2011 by Joerachi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Lolwut, Joe? Shoulders are fine. Neck's too long, by 3-4 pixels. And there's no part of the shoulder missing, bruh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Amelia, gotcha. Sploder, that'd go against the reference pic. If Fin was my own character I'd change the colors up, but alas, his design belongs to IS. But I see what you mean on the cloak. Will fix after exams. Joe, if you want to crit on anatomy you better go learn it first. It's a good thing that Trent and I actually know this shit. If you pointed the wrong thing out to a less experienced spriter, it's going to mess them up further. Not saying I don't make mistakes occasionally but, you don't say stuff you have no experience in. Get a book on anatomy, study it for three years, THEN talk. but yeah I have long neck tendencies, pointed out by Trent and Sploder already. that can be fixed when I redo the cloak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a book on anatomy, study it for three years, THEN talk. "I have more experience than you, so don't critique my work" is what I read. Either way, Joe has valid critique. Whether it's long neck or low shoulders, the gap between them is still too big. That's what he was pointing out. The only difference between your Finn and the numerous splices by the "less experienced spriters" on this forum is a torso. You don't have to be Burne Hogarth to know that something's disproportionate. Edited May 11, 2011 by The Blind Archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I do give that the gap is too big and the neck is too long, but he could've said that instead. I'd much prefer to have the actual thing I did wrong pointed out to me, as my methods of fixing both are different. For long necks, move the head down a few px, clean up, done. For shoulders, I'd actually have to resprite a bunch of stuff that would cause immense irritation due to external reasons. Low shoulders to me indicate the shoulders are drooping, vs long neck where shoulders would be in the right spot, just the neck is too long. I don't mind the crit, but I want pinpoint accuracy on them. Hell, he could've just stated that there's too big a gap, and it'd be okay. But low shoulders to me indicate another set of mistakes that wasn't present. Edited May 11, 2011 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blind Archer Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 So he phrased it wrong, big whoop. There was no need to patronize him from atop the high horse. Any critique is valid critique as long as there's a nugget of wisdom in it somewhere. Just stop being super literal. lol minimodding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 warnwarnwarn//shot~ JK I'm OCD like that :/ The mental image I get from each phrasing is completely different, so the accuracy is actually necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, while Lumi didn't have to have the 'tude she did in her post, and while I agree with Dei on her overreacting about a simple miswording, this kind of response won't really help the situation, and doesn't really show maturity :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't mean you should say it, bud. Whether or not you're being serious, sarcasm in a situation like this, where you are mostly in the right, will only make you look like a gloater/person who only want to be right. It's just not very mature. And now I should stop minimodding. Lumi, I'm with Kai, I wanna see this gold armor art of Fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
