The small highlights on the edge of the ground blocks is exactly what it needed to revive the defined shape the original art had. Great stuff!

On the right are changes I have made, including adding a lower shadow to give volume as well as adding some edges (as these pick up more light). I also highlighted the corners for extar detail.
aisde from the rant, great artwork is being done so keep it up everybody!

I do think it is an improvement, but something still seems a bit off about it... but maybe that's just me ^^;

Wanderer, great eye to notice that we should define the blocks better by outlining the edges! This is the kind of contribution that can really make this project look great!

Ah, here's something. That second bottom block (from the left) is missing its top, so to speak. It doesn't have that highlighted part so it looks chopped off.
Also, it looks like the grass is still using some sort of gradient =o

I can't believe nobody's pointed out that both rings on the neck of the Wasp badnik are actually the same size on the original sprite. It might not seem significant, but this gives the result that in the original sprite, to me at least, it actually looks more like a stumpy, mechanical 'neck' than a 'rings' design as the HD art so far has taken it to be.
It doesn't help that the manual art is drawn from such an angle that you can't really see that area of the badnik, either. = S

My major gripe about it is that it doesn't seem cartoony enough, such as the other main art is (Sonic, Tails).

Ah, I see what happened. When I quoted your post, Blue Streak thought that I had actually made the image. Sorry about that ^^;
And DiscoKing, I think #2 looks really great! The head could use a bit of tweaking though (especially the shine on the eyes). #4 is really good as well.

I've started working on a Badnik, I think it's called Masher but I am unsure, here is my progress so far. Its extremely rough and unfortunately I only had time to knock it off in fifteen minutes. Tell me what you think
Obviously it is a long way from being finished and needs a lot of work put into it because it doesn't really fit well with the other images produced

uk_resistant, you are absolutely right, I misquoted in my previous post! I apologize for the mistake and thank you for picking up on it so that we can give credit to those that deserve it. Please continue the good work!
About the masher: clearly it needs a lot more work (as you noted), but it's a start and that's more than we've had so far.

Nice job with the Masher. I would make its tail a bit more pointy though.
