Hey, I don't normally do this but I really need some help, so here
goes.

These are two spites from my upcoming remake of Query Part I:
http://www.geocities.com/otisfolks/joseph.bmp
http://www.geocities.com/otisfolks/josephwalk.bmp
Copy/Paste the link, as per usual.

Forgive the BMP format and geocities-age, and once you get past that:
- I know they aren't that great, that's why I posted
- I'd like some advice on the nose in the battle sprite
- I'm not sure about the hands.
- Does he look too effiminate? It's a guy, but my sister thought it
was a girl. He just has lots of hair.

Thanks.

That's actually some pretty decent graphics, JSH. Good work.

Agreed, the battle sprite is pretty nice. My advice on the nose, since you're asking for it, would be to make the darker skin color a bit darker so it would stand out more, and move the entire nose one pixel to the left.

The biggest problem I see is that he's facing the screen. People don't do that. They have a stance. Look at fighting games for an idea.

Here's a few for reference:

(Yes, I know some of them blend with the BG. the person making these gifs used the default white as the BG color, when it's a part of the sprite. Just open them up in some image previewer and it'll be fine.)

Okay, go have some fun.

Oh, and no he's not very feminine. The hair may look somewhat, but the shoulders and hip area just destroy it all.

Also, work on the shading. It's really bad. Refer to some Capcom or SNK sprites(Just ask me for them and I'll give you them). They're a lot of help
