I wanted to see how you guys felt before I threw some animations on this thing. ;)

Try to relax the arms a bit.
Muscular body, skinny legs. The only wrong thing I see in it besides what jordan said.

That's a pretty decent base i love the color's you chose for it but as stated above there's a few problems with the arms and legs, more so the base in general seems a tad bit tall for its overall shape.

On another note using the same outline palette for the shorts and the outline of the skin seems a bit awkward to me, perhaps trying a different approach on the shorts unless your going for a tan short's blend which you've got that covered already.

Here is a small edit on what i meant in-case you didn't understand what i said above, i don't even know if i am typing correctly i have been up for so long lol.




Also I'm not the best person for this lol but i tried, according to some people my work is a bit along the lines of "Crap".
Welp. I took the advice on the legs into consideration, but I rather like the skinny look of the legs over making the legs larger. I tried making the arms a little more skinny in comparison.

Either way see how i used anatomy to create a sort of a realism element?
either way your oddly shaped head was just annoying me...lol, along with the arms.
yes i do realize i made my edit a bit to big...doesn't even look like your base anymore, but i just hope you understand were i am coming from? if not just ask and i can explain it in depth on msn, in a hurry bye byeh

I'm not sure. There's a lot of problems in the way you did that base, such as your hands are much larger than the arms, the heads much to big for the body, and the hands also seem much thicker than the legs. =/

Though I did fix some parts on the head by making it a pixel taller and changed a bit of shading on it. I rather like my "Fisted" hands right now though.

Lol why are you CC his work? xD Anyways i think his is fine if he's going for anime.

Back to yours, The problem with yours i would say is the head, it's gigantic for the body. Losing a few pixels would do the trick.

Also, you should make a relaxed hand rather than fisted hand. The man seems like he's more relaxed then angered or tensed.

Well, the thing is, I wanted to stick to a more Anime genre, but keep a detailed base at the same time. I'm planning for a typical buff/toned body, but a larger Anime-sh head. The plan for this thing was to eventually make a few animations and put it up in the free resources as a act of boredom. I figured the Anime base would fit the bigger audience.

I figure my final version is done, and I'll mess around with some animations and post them up soon. Anyone know a free program for some GIFs as a side note? :)

Can you still do that with multi-tiled icons?
I didnt know. ;P
In response to Reeex (#10)
You don't need to worry about multitiled icons. BYOND 4.0 supports icon sizes greater than 32x32 and up to I believe 256x256 while still retaining the ability to edit.

Sweet. I haven't really messed with dream maker since... 3.6?
