The fire is absolutely ugly, and it's a dashing/flying skin when you already have a walking skin. It's lazier, the new arms on there are bad and have so many more inaccuracies than the original, AND every problem with the original is still here.

If your gonna make a skin based off this clay-character, I'd like to put an example on what your trying to aim for:



This design should be more "appealing" since I replicated it straight from the figurine ya made of it. It does NOT need to have this kind of stance since it's just an example, and am not intending on making it for ya. Hopefully this can give ya some more inspiration to make it look better.

Don't forget: we're all trying to help ya, it's called "constructive criticism."

Thank you for your example but i am aiming for a bombman look for my clay character.

And Korby, I know that the fire looks ugly and it is not intended to be a flying skin. It's supposed to be rocket boosters that propel you forward. He has wheels to help him go. However, I am thinking of getting rid of those white spots, they aren't looking so good anymore. I think after that is done he will be fine. I may also consider fixing the fire but for now i'll leave it the way it is (mostly because I have trouble with things like that OwO).

The goal i am trying to accomplish with the Supahlad skin(s) is to make an 8-bit version of Supahlad. I don't mean the detailed megaman 7 or 8 fc sprites but something as poorly detailed as bombman (with a bit of decorations added to it ^w^) or Super Mario from the first game.

The things you guys look for in skins are images that represent the picture as detailed as possible. For me, I'm just going for a simple, pretty much silly version of a skin. People have different styles in the way they make their skins, and I think feedback should respect that opinion/point. However, I will take action on the white spots, they really do look bad Twl.

You may want to simplify the design of the skin to make it look less uhh... like it's cluttered together. For example, look at the official artwork of quite a few robot masters, then look at their 8-bit sprites. If you included all of their tiniest details from the artwork, it would look too complicated! I believe there is a way to make your skin look like SupahLad, without the need to add too much detail.

Well, at least it looks to me like it's over-detailed. At least you can make a skin, bro. I can't do much other than that cowboy in TOMX. XD
And even that aberration is going away next version in exchange for something canon.

The reason why it looks so clutered is because of the white spots everywhere (which i will change). The other details are quite vital in order for the skin to be differentiated from bombman

You do test your skins in game first, right? To make sure they don't melt the eyes of whoever comes into contact with them?

I don't think that's the problem. The problem here is that he doesn't know that ya shouldn't mash too much colors into a single space. It's ugly beyond belief, and no doubt its present in all of the skins.
Now, take the Mega Man skin and look at it. Now, get far away from it. Can ya still see a face, eye, and everythin' else that's important? Yes? Ya avoided this mistake. No? Ya should see a blob and can't tell a thin' on the face, which means less stuff onto a small amount of space.
Again, that's the problem here. Now burn these skins in the depths of the Recyclin' Bin hell, and never speak of these skins again!

To me, these skins look fine. I don't understand how they hurt your eyes so much. Maybe the jet skin because of the white shines still on there but i took those out of the other skins. I like bombman as a template and won't stop using him as a base for supahlad. To tell you the truth, i don't know why I even made DawkSupahLAD, i just made him for fun. And that's the thing, I make these skins for fun and nothing else!

I don't care if they hurt your eyes but if you don't like them, don't download them. In my eyes they portray Supahlad perfectly, and I think that's what matters.
