....Nice.

The shadig on the skin is incredible. The style is perfect. But there are a couple things that bother me.
The shading on the chest looks wrong, though i'm not sure how.
There's too much contrast on the shoulders. Mabye dithering would help, but I dunno if that's part of the style.
But the look is definetly spot on.

Eh, the contrast is because they're shiny. I had it low-con before and everyone said it needed to be shinier so up the contrast <_>

I can't take all the credit for the skin. While the head and chest and shoulders all ended up either mostly or entirely scratch, the neck came from Dieck with relatively minor edits to make it less muscular. I failed horribly at scratching a neck.

..Still, there's something I dont like about the shoulders. Mabye if you moved the shine on the right shoulder (our right) over a bit to match the other one, it might look better. They dont seem to have a similar light source.

done very well, however, it looks a bit like you cut his arms off, and left it simply at the shoulders (notice how it seems to curve inward)

The shoulder pads go down a little bit then the arms come out from under there. The problem is that the portrait size cut them off, not me. :\

Red: Indeed. The left shoulder is lighted differently from the rest of him. I'll see what I can do.

The neck also looks a bit odd.. but that's probably because of the edit and whatnot.. It looks too big, and makes the head look pasted on.

Lol.

My main problem with it....is that it's not a dodongo. Call me crazy, but according to the guide, they're called salamanders (fire lizard refference obviously). Anyway, the legs make the pose a bit borring, but the isnt the back outline to dark? Anyhow, there's probably a better refference somewhere, but it's very cute.

Well, then, the guide is wrong. It's a scaly green lizard that breathes fire, lives in the Goron Mines, is defeated by being attacked from its tail, and can also be fed bombs.

That's a damn dodongo, no matter what you call it.

All ready working on TP sprites, I see? I am working on a Midna sprite. Say I am loony but I like that little Twilight creature.

And yes, Daz, I am putting alot of time and effort into this one, so you wont have to worry about a horribly done, messed up sprite. All from scratch, I will post it for your critiquing later.

Looks good though. The legs are, as stated above in different forms, a bit ... stagnant. Stale. Boring. I dunno. The rest is good though, colors are good and shape as well.

You seriously need to work in more contrast. They're scaly reptilians, not plushies. <_<

And then there are the legs, which have already been pointed out. They like they're bent in a 140 Degree angle or so in the picture. Yours look like they're close to 90. =/

Who gives a F*** what the book calls it, guess what the "stalfos" are actually master stalfos because you kills them w/ bombs and those miny things w/ spears are NOT stalchildren but stalfos at least technically

It's true, they must have been on crack when they made it, but this thing ISNT a dodongo.

@Syntax: Mini stalfos?

Lol. It seriously does look a bit comical.

Anyhow, the outline on the back and tail bother me the most as well as the spikes on the back (probably because of the outline).

I have to applaud the scale dithering though.

I had two strategy guides for the Oracle games. Both gave entirely different names for some enemies and bosses.

Fun fact: Guides can and have been wrong.

That thing is a dodongo. It looks like one, it acts like one, it sounds like one, it fights like one, it's hurt like BOTH types of dodongo, and it lives in the same damn place.

If you were trying to argue that the Gibdo was a Redead or vice versa, you'd have a case, but there is no debating what this is. >_>

Now then, back on topic. I'm starting a new TP sprite.. one which should end up bloody awesome if I can pull it off, but I have no idea if I can, because I never sprited anything large with fur.

If you catch my drift.
