Doc von Schmeltwick's SMAS SMB3 expanded sprites

I had a lot of fun with that Blargg so far, yes, and have sketched out ideas for how I'll handle the rest of the family (Gargantua is already underway). I see what you mean with the Big Boo, though mostly the progress I've made with it is "enlarge and smooth out lines." I'm not really seeing the trouble with Dr. Scienstein, It's mostly a hyper-exaggerated version of his animation in WL3. Maybe I could tone down the separation at the bottom. His main problem IMO is that his crazy arms will make his hitbox a little whack, but they look hilarious and fluid when animated.
 
Seeing a Gargantua Blargg like this really makes me uncomfortable*.

*First of all, that's sarcasm. I'm sarcastic a lot. And this is actually really good. I prefer the flippers more though. Also, the chin needs to be toned down. A LOT.
 
Chin sizes look lopsided to me, probably because the angling of the chin is inconsistent with the body and rest of the face. Is it meant to be even and symmetrical?
 
It's meant to look like it's jutting out but at the same time wrapping around its body somewhat. The line marks the middle, and is roughly in-line with the area between the nostrils. Anyways, it's also heavily stylized, and that didn't hurt M&LSS's sprites ability to change direction. The lips are more asymmetrical-looking than the chin to be frank.
 
Curious but what program do you use to draw sprites?
 
Simple MS Paint (Win10 version, though I honestly preferred the Vista version when Norton Security wasn't slowing it to obscene levels). Occasionally for more complex procedures (namely rotation), I use Paint.net, but limit it as I don't like many of the drawbacks of how layers work in it.
 
Man, I haven't updated this in ages.
Anyways, have a Bookend.

Though it's acting more like the flying books from the 6th generation console editions of the first three Harry Potter games. Ah well. It'd get the teeth and stuff when it bites.
There's also a "removing self from shelf in background" animation, but it's much less impressive.
