First Of All, As A Spriter, You Must Understand The Difference Between A CUSTOM, AN EDIT AND A DRAWING.
A Custom Sprite Is Something That You've Made From Scratch. For Example: (I Know That's My Horribly Sprited Hair. But It Is Considered a Custom As I've Made It From Scratch.)
An Editted Sprite Is Using Of A Base. Like Recoloring Or Mixed Hairs. THOSE Are Editted. For Example: This Is An Editted Pose. Mainly Because I Mixed 1H Weapon Swing 3 , Standing Pose And Alert 3 To Make This. (Exclude The Meso)
A Drawing Is Using A BRUSH TOOL. Sprites Are Pure Pixels. For Example: That Is A Drawing, Obviously. But Drawing Something On A Character Using A Brush Is NOT A Sprite. Please Know It.
SHADING The Main Importance Of A Sprite Is To Know The Right Way Of Shading And The WRONG Way Of Shading. Shading Is A Very Important Part Of Spriting As It Shows Where The Light Is Coming From And To Make Your Sprite More Lively Other Than It Being Plain And Boring.
Here Is A Useful Spriting Guide: http://www.natomic.com/hosted/marks/mpat/shading.html
I Hope To Be Seeing More Decent Sprites From The GFXs Here. I Haven't Been Very Impressed With your Works. Also, Don't Be Such A Wuss And Get Sensitive Over CnCs People Give. CnC Is Comment and Criticise. Criticising Is Giving Advice So That You Can Improve On Your Sprites. If You Think Cncing Is A Form Of Insulting, You Are DEAD WRONG Trust Me, You Will Never Get Better If You Don't Appreciate CnCs. Even If It's Your First Time Spriting, It's Always Good To Take Some Advice.
Amen
