Hi,

hope this is correct...

I have done a series of LOST sprites, some made from scratch some based on other stuff. This is John Locke, based on the Tommy Atkins soldier sheet.

Totally free for use, public domain, etc.

I am using them myself in an AGS game, but bfd so can anyone else. smile

Re: John Locke from LOST

here, just some space and canvas edits, some notes for the future:

-don't use such a harsh background color unless a neutral color interferes with your piece.  A light-dark gray is much easier on the eyes than neon green.
-There are many unnecessary duplicates shown, with a character like this, (no definition between either die of him), you can easily get away with just one direction, it saves space among other reasons.
-The running is garbage, the (on my edit) top row, second column is simply unreadable.  How are his legs bending?
-did you make the gun?
-there are many messy pixels, it needs to be cleaned up.
-there is little/no shading, and most of it is inconsistent.


In all, this really needs a lot of work, but working off an edit is a good start.  Good luck.

Re: John Locke from LOST

You'll have to forgive my ignorance as I will never watch Lost, but does the guy in the show really look that much like a Klingon?

Re: John Locke from LOST

Due to not putting the detail in well enough - it isn't clear but he is asymmetrical in the face. He has a scar over the right eye socket so I duplicated the sprites so the different sides were represtned. Nowhere near well enough, obviously. smile

I used the neon because yeah I am ending up with just about every normal colour used but I will change it and reupload it.

Run cycle- I have much better references to use now. So onward I go.

Thank you very much for the critique.
