Apc here! I'm working on a project right now called My Heart, but it still not ready for public appearance hehe. Well, anyway, I wanna ask if my characters are okay.

I would say they're... about average, useable for a game but not impressive. One big problem is that all the faces look too "same-ey" as if they were done with the same template. Eyes, brows and chins are mostly the same. The hair color/shape is the only real thing that distinguishes them. Another problem is that the perspective is all the same, facing forwards. Of course, I realize that it's a lot easier to use that perspective than another one, but it contributes to the similarity between characters.

For a first project, absolutely they are okay. For a second, definitely! Hell, even a few projects after that they will do well for. They do all look fairly similar though. Since you've been drawing these yourself you will probably find after a number of projects you've improved to the point that they are all incredibly unique since its clear you're a very good artist, but until then, practicing with different perspectives will do you a world of good.

So are they okay? Absolutely, better than okay in fact. If you were looking at making your game commercial, Sundown hit the critique on the head pretty well, as a hobby game though you'll find many, many members here would trip over their feet to get free sprites like Evangeline.

I look forward to seeing your art, and eventually game, popping up now and again and a big welcome to forum! If you need any help with anything, don't be afraid to ask!

Thanks! I'll practice giving each of my characters more unique looks.
