First Sprites (Ace Attorney Based)

[GermanyXItaly1000 16]

For my RMXP fangame, I was planning to toss in some Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney references. Then I thought: "Why not have a spin-off minigame for the heck of it?"

 

The minigame is not going to happen, most likely. It'd make coding more difficult than necessary, and I haven't even learnt Ruby. But what I have done is started editing Ace Attorney sprites, which hopefully leads me onto the road to my learning to sprite. It looks terrible, even for a quick edit and recolour that took way longer than it should have.

 

But hey. Better start learning now than later, amirite?

 

Let it be known first that I have no experience in art. At all. Meaning anatomy, shading, and proportionality (basically all important elements) will be completely shot.

 

The sprites are unfinished, but I thought I'd post a WIP and get some feedback before I continue.

 

Here's what I've done. 

 

 

(Note, it's supposed to be Japan from Hetalia posed like Phoenix Wright.)

 

Hair isn't shaded and everything looks pretty weird. I didn't get around to cleaning it up.

 

Thanks in advance for any feedback from y'all out there.
