First of all, I would just like to say this: Cartoons!, that final submission is looking good. Guess I'll be seeing you at the polls.
Anyways, onto the next round of commenting and critiquing...
@ aragornbird: I gotta say that I am loving that back sprite of yours. It's just... wow...
I've already commented upon your front sprite at some point earlier on, so I'm not going to reiterate my complaints on it since you have already heard them and considered them.
@ Wyverii: Personally, I think that the original shiney colors that you put up there were fine. The one next to the original and the one on the right look good too, though. It's your choice, though. Go with a set of colors YOU like.
@ KoA: Thanks for going on to make the sprites animated for me, especially since I seem to be the only one who suggested it. I really apreciate it.
Also, I really thing that it should give the "bursting from the ground roaring like a Hell hound" sort of image even better that way. Obviously, if you find that you don't like it that way, you don't have to keep it that way: it was merely a suggestion (anything that I post is meant to be that way) and I certianly hope I didn't make it seem like a demand or something along those lines.
@ XandZero2: The dirt on the front sprite is in better alignment now. Now I think everyone who has commented upon it feels a little better about that issue now.
At this point, I can't comment on the back sprite right now even though you would like us all to "tear it apart"; it's too early for me to do so. I need to see some color first.
Overall, great job to all of you guys, whether you are done or you are still chugging away at your sprites.
Edit:
Okay, Xandzero2, now that your back sprite is colored, I can say something. The coloring on it is lovely so far, like it is on the front sprite. That arm, though, looks like it's just... there. I'm not entirely sure what Colosoil is doing there; I'm guessing that he's clenching his fist.
Either way, I'll be watching your progress on this, as well as that of everyone else who is still working on their sprites.
Edit (again):
KoA, that animation is AWESOME! I agree that it IS, in fact, faithful to what you were initially going for. Your hard work has really paid off here.
