Ok, so i just finished working over this urge to make a huge menos for my game (Not copying BLN, i just think its realistic) Now...I tried to perfect the lines and the art as much as i could before Coloring it..Now im at a lost of what to do..Im sure the "Pixel Pros' on this forum can help me out.





Thank you if you help me.

Line art looks ok, one think i would say from recently designing a Menos Grande myself is look at the head size on the line art, also providing your reference helps.

Yes, I literally went through half of the line art with no ref. because i couldnt find a good one. But i later looked at videos and such for most things like the mask shape. Iv colored it...Now i need your judgement.




damn sorry if quality is bad.

It seems as if you saved it as a Jpeg. That us a no-no. The reason being is that the jpeg format tends to alter your pixels, and produce a sort of "Blur" effect. Try to post as a PNG. ;]

Despite being posted in jpg(Always post in PNG for still images), Thats pretty cool, IMO where i would go with it now is adding another colour or tone to give it that edge... But yeah the head size needs to be redone lol look at google images and you will get a better idea for what i mean

With that next shade i don't mean take it and shade randomly, for reference just take what you know, see the menos body area is like a baggy piece of clothing right, so see how the creases and light show up on normal clothing:

You should save your work in stages if you're not working with Adobe photoshop or something where you can delete pixel for pixel in the "bin", good luck with your Menos ;o.

Looks cool, but why does it only have one arm. Also, I think the mask might be a little too small. Also, when it's facing West the arm hangs down way further than it does when facing South.
