Description
The heroes of of the Kazuoku Police Force, pretty much in line with their depiction in my numerous concept sketches and such. their designs may be altered in time (especially the Engineer's he looks a bit asymmetrical...slit-eyes are hard to pixel), and I've yet to add a medic character to correspond with the standard unit classes (if anyone's got any ideas...), but I'm quite happy with the results.For references, see [link] , I uploaded a more recent version with more accurate colors; none of that neon pink nonsense. Never again, Pixen, never again.
EDIT: Oh, and to clarify, Goma does not appear in the roster b/c she remains a support character during actual missions; I believe having her running around visibly killing people is incongruous with 's original vision.

cool work! it looks very neat and so colorful ^^
you got like, that black outline around your pixels - can you give me advice; should i outline my sprite, too? I just can't imagine it'd make it look any better, or would it?

Normally, I'm a proponent of pixel outlines, but in your case (talking about your avatar) the sprite is pretty large, pixel count-wise, so I'd say it's not really necessary and would probably look pretty bad.

but - (sorry i'm still a such a noob) aren't yours larger than mine? o.o

At most, I'd say they're roughly the same size, but will be barely animated compared to yours. Having outlines on highly animated sprites is quite ugly, which is why series like Metal Slug use extensive motion blur to avoid them.

ooh =O I see...!
wow, well thanks for explaining
hehe um, ...any useful critiques about my (av) sprite while we're at it? besides the animation (or rather, lack of animation) of her arm?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm far from an authority on pixel art, but as a general critique I'd just say the head is a bit off-center; try shifting it to the left a bit. Other than that all, I can comment on is the flashing spot on the front of her dress. Did you forget to erase it during animation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, the head - i thought about that too... ^^ i think i will try that in another/ updated version
oh, you mean the dark spon on her apron? I though it's supposed to be a random shadow..
maybe it's too.. round for a shadow then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the dark spot on the apron; even if it is a shadow, there's no object moving over it that would cast one like that during the animation, considering the character barely moves at all.

Looking forward to seeing the final game. I think slit eyes might be a bit offensive. Perhaps you could say narrow eyes? It's obvious you don't mean it that way.

Wow, I really like your Kazuoku Police Force concept art...are you making a game out of it? I really can't wait to see how it'll turn out! Judging by these pixelated troops, I think it's gonna be awesome! Good Job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I am indeed making a game of it.

Pls update me when you have a playable demo! I would love to try it out! Cheers!

Given that medics are sort of an off-shoot of engineers, maybe the medic hero should be the engineer's twin.
This is really good stuff, by the way. Really nice colours.

That's a nice idea, but conflicts with a few plot details: in the mythos 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, you've put a lot of thought into this!
Maybe the medic should be the polar opposite of the engineer, tall and rugged?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I was thinking, it would be too much of a stereotype to make the medic a girl.

Awesome work. I just love the all the detail you put into these; they're simply stunning.

Thank you. You can tell I'm taking more inspiration from TF2 than I'd like to admit.

Looks like you take a lot from Starcraft, too.

dope! you did a great job pixeling all these characters, esp. the sniper
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's flattering, coming from you.
Oh, and thanks for the fave.

ah, lol MMO will suck you in, glad to have you back on this side though
haha, and nono lolwut, i'm just a nobody

This looks nice! I especially like the Engineer's design. 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. The Engineer, second to the Sniper, is the one I've changed the most, since the idea of an adolescent kid going into battle is both implausible and annoying. I thought about making him a midget, but that would make him harder to relate to...
