New to spriter. First "sprite"

[CS_Battousai]

So I decided to buy Spriter after messing around with it using prefab sprites found on the internet.

When I activated the pro features I decided "Hey...why not try my hand at making my own animated character"

This was what I drew up in Photoshop (Images might be large...don't know how to thumbnail):

And this is what I did with it via Spriter :

Comments, critique, suggestions welcome!

I'm eagerly awaiting the B6 release.

Thanks! honored to receive any sort of compliment from one of the guys behind Spriter.

I plan to improve it a lot after the B6 release. I'm really looking forward to the deformation grid feature. It will make a lot of my ideas much easier to pull off.

Nice, try to put some more details onto his outfits like scratches or something, also try to make leg and hand further from camera a bit darker than the ones closer to camera, it will create abit of depth and will help to get rid of that flat empty look which is boring and simple.Also dont be afraid to squash and stretch body parts, it will improve animation a lot if you will learn how to stretch them properly.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely keep working on it.
