The Cynical Poet - Oh god, Litleo's eyes are so soulless. Those eyes are the eyes of a hardened killer; one that has slain so many as to have grown desensitized to the outside world. Hitler would run and hide from those eyes, like jeez. Btw, this is about Litleo in general. You did a good job with the eyes, as they convey the soulless stare present in its official design. Good on ya'. Also, top eyes are superior IMO.
Granted, the sprite does still have its issues. Here are the ones that stick out to me at a glance:
-The feet are flat and unmarked. Consider adding more of a curve to the bottoms of the paws, and using an outline shade to better mark the divisions between toes. Tweaking the outline colors a bit might be required to make it look right, but currently its very hard to see at a glance.
-The (our) left ear is a little off. Push it down a few pixels, as since it is farther back and the head is level with the ground, it should be shorter than the right ear. In addition, I feel the tan sections of the ears are too wide. Adding more shading on those areas would also improve their appearance.
-The back leg doesn't have a well-defined haunch. There should be a more well-defined delineation between where the torso ends and the leg begins. A good example of what I mean can be seen on
Absol's backsprite. Notice how the back leg meets with the rest of the body; there's a section a few pixels long that juts into the rest of the body where the two meet, clearly marking where the leg begins to separate from the rest of the body.
-The body on page 103 is too long, IMO. The sprite on page 102 has a better width, so I'd rip the body from the older sprite for use in future edits.
I'm glad to see you working on Litleo, and you've made pretty good progress so far. If you have any questions or want to cantact me directly for advice, feel free to shoot me a PM.
