Well, seeing as I'm not gonna have any time to make any more modifications, I'm just gonna post up my Final Submission. Hope you guys like it.
Considering the standard of all the other entries this year, and considering I've had little feedback, I'd be surprised if I got any votes other than mine, but at least its good practice. I'm rooting for Aragornbird, Clawed Nyasu or Doug in this one, but good luck to everyone.
PS: There is no gender difference, so don't try looking for one. :P

Final Submission
Lots of great submissions, so my chance of winning is probably very slim, but it was a fun experience nonetheless. If my submission doesn't make it through the polls, I'll be pulling for Aragornbird (assuming he gets a backsprite up!) His has the best blend of style and spriting mechanics, imo. The stylistic design aspects of Wyverii and Doug's are reaally not my cup of tea.
Male Normal------------Female Normal
Male Shiny-------------Female Shiny
This is my final submission unless anyone strongly objects to the shiny.
Final Submission:
Thank you, Gir! and Flamman, for your helpful comments.
- Far left head was moved down and right.
- Open mouths now have shading.
- Male and female differences. (males get longer claws)
Well i've done work on the backs. If there's no more objections i'll be making this my final submission. I'll be looking forward to the other entries.
Didn't feel like bandwagoning the whole "pink fluff" shiny approach, so I took a new spin on the coloration. Also gender differences are very minute this time around, females just have shorter claws. This ain't enough of an impact to affect the backsprites at all, so they use the same ones for both genders, I just posted them twice for convenience though.
Based on feedback from various people, I made several small tweaks to these sprites, but nothing major. I sharpened the left face on the front sprite, and I made the backsprite faces and horns slightly more "pointy". I also darkened the back leg on the frontsprite, just a little bit.
This will be my final submission post. If I make any more changes, I will just edit the images here. Thanks to everyone that has given me advice and suggestions in this thread. With your help, I think my sprite is a million times better than my original draft. Regardless of the outcome of the polls, I've got myself a few snazzy-looking avatars to use in the future. I'm already a winner! ;-)
EDIT: New fronts as posted later in this thread.
Well this is it. Thanks for the suggestions and support, everyone! I hope you like the final product. See you at the polls!
