NEW Blade(not a recolor)

Hi there, I once was checking my folder and I found HORRIBLE sprite of my old Fan character
bladehs.png

As you see, this is no wonder but HORRIBLE, so lately I decided to change him ALOT and make him more original rather than red sonic with blue shoes, so I started working on his quill style, got some ideas from friend and made him original, Though the overused name still stays (I was thinking of naming him Krone but I'm not sure, if people will like that name then it will be his name)
So I trained spriting in 2D, after a while I got better with SRB2 style too here’s a little pic of training results

1. Horrible recolor of sonic and not srb2 style
2. A Little better and original but still don't fit srb2
3. Now it's original and it fit srb2 in my opinion, but it's missing something
4. now that’s more like it!

This far I only have done 4 Frames And 1 Icon, I'm still working on more

Frames:

The shading on this 4th one, kind of bugs me somehow...if anyone can make an example on the shading I should use on this frame, would be really nice

Anyways I need some constructive critizm

That's good. I also just noticed that the hand nearest the viewer in the second sprite looks a little lopsided and a little short. make it a little taller (on the bottom) and move our right side of it to the left a bit.
 
I don't like the character select icon, because of the black outline, you should change that

I really wonder how did this not come out yet- What's going to be his ability? Is it going to be some custom one or something? I really hope so, 'cause thoks and double jumps are starting to get on my nerves... >.<"

Right, me too, Thoks and double jumpes are boring, did you planned custom ability for him?
 
This is quite good :D Although you need to make the shoes and body look more detailed cause they sorta look like they're on the low, MS paint end. Head looks pretty good though.
 
This seems nice!
What bugs me is that it looks similar the blade character in super smash flash...

No this is Blade. :(

Obviously a better spirited character then the topic one, probably more original too even though it's a shadow recolor (No offense :P). One things for sure, I REALLY dislike the your character kyuubi. The quills on the character are so abnormal and irritating to look at. It's like broken sticks painted red. THE SHADING IS HORRIBLE. Although I applaud that you tried to shade, the shading is...irritable. It looks like half of the sun is shining down on it and the other half is covered by ducks or something. Also, just because you "edited an edited sprite" does not mean it is "not a recolor".

Try putting those images into a .gif file and see if they correspond correctly...because in my view, it does not.

I think I should take the blame for it.

(hope Blade won't mind for me posting this here)

Anyway, Kyuu. I'm seeing you're making improvements on your character wad. Practice makes your way.

I got everything except edited an edited sprite one, I just made this while looking at srb2's sonic, but any ideas on how should I fix it? "I dislike this and this is horrible" don't help me at all, but I am trying to fix the spikes, oh and also, where you don't like shading? On the head? Clothes? Or on everything

EDIT: about correspond thing, you were right, the third frame isn’t right, thanks without you I wouldn't realize that ^_^
EDIT 2: Fixed it

Yes you're right, this is actually my first time making an SRB2 Styled character, so it’s not good, but I'm still trying to make it better
