Holy fuck. That’s hot. I’ve been gone too long.
Well… I’ve got no comment for the dithering. The only thing I’ve got for you is that the middle part of the neck looks either way too smooth for his body, or it looks like a cave.
You don’t have to listen to me if you don’t think my critique is valid… I’m mostly here to post my first sentence.
Lol. The section around the neck is suppose to look like a dip if that’s what you mean. Yeah, i could have made the body more interesting, but i made it first, and it wouldnt be much fun to change it.
Course your critique is valid. Anyones critique is valid, as long as it’s their opinion.
Honestly the arm-cannon looks wimpy. Not so much that it’s small but that it’s sticking out of the forearm by what looks like half-a-foot. I’d expect it to be directly attached… But meh, you’re a spriter and I’m not.
And I can’t really comment on the dithering, sorry.
Yeah, that’s what i thought. But due to space constraints, a small automatic cannon it is. Srry.
Yeah, the way it sticks off is kinda awkward, but seeing as how i added it last second, im not gonna let it bother me. Just because your not a spriter doesnt mean you shouldn’t criticise. Im not a politician, but i can criticise the president, publically if i wanted to. It’s good that people want improvement.
Ok, this doesn’t really pertain to spriting, but an idiot can’t go criticizing a scientist. In other words, sometimes people shouldn’t criticize because they have no clue what they’re talking about…
Please remind me why I’m talking about this anyway, lol.
Lol. Your definetly right, but i do think you have more than enough knowledge of spriting to judge my stuffs. After all, it’s the same thing as judging a picture, just with different techniques and styles. I think it had to do something with you not being able to criticize my work, then me making the president analogy. But I think you have enough of an understanding to criticise any of MY work. Anyway.
Omega metroid WIP!!! There’s something wrong with the lightest shade, though i dont know what it is (too much contrast?)
that omega thing is cool…what kinds of sprites do you use dithering on?
Large ones, and one’s with limited palettes. Dithering is used to subsitute for multiple shades, or give something a rough appearance. I’d say it’s more important for the latter her, but it does a good job for the other. Dithering isnt never used in MF/SM samus size sprites (just so ya know), because it’s just not necessary.
Edit:
Think i fixed the contrast problem.
Shading looks fine to me now, but it reminds me too much of the queen… Probably because of how far it’s leaning forward.
(BTW, I finally got access to the school network. Lol.)
Hmmm… i did know that something was wrong. The lineart isnt final, so i’ll see if i can make it more T-rex like.
Did what i could. If it still looks queeny like, i’ll hopefully fix it when i add the legs.
Why are you doing another omega? One in MF style already exists. You should make an Alpha or Gamma or Zeta or Queen. 
Daz, all of those have already been made somewhere or another… Besides, it’s in his own style of spriting and it’s good practice… (Hell, he could make the other ones after this anyway)
Hey wait a second. Why does it even matter when you probably aren’t going to use it anyway?
Why? Several reasons.
Why not Queen, Zeta, or Gamma??
Queen=takes way too long, besides, Sephi made a decent one, and i dont think i could surpass it.
Gamma=as if we need more gamma metroid sprites.
Zeta=i hate zeta metroids. They’re fat, and weird, and unmetroid like. Besides that, Semmi did kickass ones, though i dont like the way he interpretted the creature. That’s reason enough could spur me to make them someday though.
If you didnt read that, mainly for the purpose of the game. Besides, i need a kickass sprite sheet to really get my name out there. Nobody’s made the omega’s besides the fuzion people. So anyway.
Did what i could. If it still looks queeny like, i’ll hopefully fix it when i add the legs. I took some major liberty when making the thingy on the back. You dont get a clear view in the fuzion sprites, and the official art doesnt have it.
@Dazz: BTW, why does Sephi dislike you?? Something to do with meta ridley sprites for P2D?
Red, for those things on the back, are you referring to this?
Well, I hate to break it to you, but those things don’t exist. What you see there is the arm. The official art doesn’t have the back but the original sprite and even that art picture that Daz frowns upon both lack any tentacles on the back; all there is is plating. 
Actually, i was referring to these things. Not the arm. Check the omega metroid sprite sheet from fuzion. While they arent in the official art, or the “horrid” Metroid galaxy guide picks, they’re in the fuzion version. Personally, i dislike them, and might remove them anyway (just because this is MY omega metroid, as I would like to see it), but no, they are there.
Edit: Need to put this somewhere. New avatar WIP.
Those things remind me of Xenomorphs and therefore are good. >_>
If you can make it work, yay. What you have there, however, really, really doesn’t.
…
Oh…
Ok, it still looks wierd and out of place though…
Yeah. Guess your right. I’ll just forget about the Fuzion version and remove them. I’ll stick to what i have a clear pic for. >_<
But do they really look that bad???
Edit:
Needed somewhere to put this.
Yes, giant pieces of maccaroni sticking out of the back of a horrifying monster looks very bad.
…I damn. I wish there was a way to say it better. At least they were well shaded pieces of macaroni.
Tried to shade the weird scale thingies. They look kinda pillowy, any advice.
