Hmm.
1)

1 - Kicked the brightness and contrast on the body up a notch, made the purpleblack background a touch less black for more contrast.
2 - 1 without background
3 - 1 with slightly brighter body
4 - 3 without background

I don't think removing the background works here -- he's supposed to be melting into the shadows with this shading, after all.

Maybe my eyes/monitor are abnormal somehow (and while my monitor is calibrated I can't say the same about my eyes), since I have little trouble picking apart the different blacks here, and any higher level of contrast just makes his cloak seem more like patterned gray than black.

Take care of yourself and your family first and foremost. We'll still be here for the foreseeable future.

Slightly lighter would still be acceptable for "dark and scary" I think. If not, then the third one looks decent. Another trick to making dark things look darker is to add a touch of color. perhaps in this case, a touch of blue would help distinguish one black from another, while perhaps brightening the image without making it appear to be brighter.

Wouldn't a dark grey background help?

Nort really

Do you guys want me to post my sprite bases so that you can all make sprites, yet still maintain a general theme?

[Twinwolf]

That would be nice. You make really good ones though, so people would probably still make requests.

[Kedly]

I'm still going to go through the lists, but since the interest is there I'm not going to hog all the fun (I'll probably do my own version of rennen =P) Especially this week as I may not get many sprites up this week

[Kedly]

Accidentially created Iron Man while starting my new sprite!

Is your waitlist up-to-date? I don't see Gordon Freeman on it.

[Kedly]

Which page is mr freeman? I've been out of it for the past few weeks, and I let the request chain get messy before I started cleaning it up, so I may have missed stuff last time I did a round up

[Egan_BW]

Whatever page this is for 15ppp people. Post #142.

[Kedly]

Found it and added! Sorry about that!

[Kedly]

SPAZ! Those are bird wings instead of arms, because no one saw the PM's
