Description
I've finished the shading of Optimus Prime. I've also fixed up the body in numerous areas and added the Autobots symbol (thanks to Gaia for a good study).The Above was the original attempt I made while the bottom is the fixed up and shaded version. Shading I'm still looking to improve but I believe the shape of it is finally good. So tell me what you think and how to improve it in Shading.
EDIT 1: I went back and hopefully fixed up the colors and the hand. I also decided to make his other arm instead of simply flipping the one I already did. Not satisfied with the hand, so I will go back and try to fix it up. That and the head is next.
EDIT 2: I fixed the hand though it could have turned out better. But with that, I am officially done with this sprite.

This is just an...odd sprite.
And not in a good way.
For one, I'm curious about why the one leg is so much shorter than the other.
Sometimes doing something like that works, sure. But not so much with this. Just makes it looks goofy.
Another issue is the fact that you have like a pisston of light sources all over the place.
How are the bottom parts of his hands so light when there's apparently a light source near the thumbs, which wouldn't light up the rest of the fingers like that?
And the leg on our left has a similar issue on the knee area. Those two light stripes shouldn't be there. One, maybe, to try and go along with the lighting on the hands, but not the two you have.
Overall, not a bad effort, but still a vast amount of room for improvement.

Thank you for the criticism. Shading is my weakest section especially for a sprite this size so getting it to look shaded was a pain for me.
As for why one leg is shorter than the other, it's because the sprite I based it off was my Human Base which has the same issue. Like how the Megaman 7 sprites are.
But other than that, are there any other issues you have? I heard about the head though I'm debating if I should go back on a later date.

Any who other then maybe more head and hand sprites I think this is the best sprite rendering of G1 Optimus Prime.

These colors are MUCH better. Also, I agree with you that Optimus's new left hand could use some work.

Yes, The eyes look less odd now. Also, the Blue looks a little... purple now.

I took the colors from Mecha Sonic. Searching for better colors now.

The head is still really odd,some colors are off,and the shading is..strange all around.
The 2nd Autobot insignia is actually better than the one being used IMO.Torso seems better too.
I'd suggest using Optimus' MasterPiece toy as reference,it's the best(and most accurate) interpretation of G1 Prime.

Thanks for that. And I do agree the second one looks better, but it's too big in comparison to the shoulders.

Hmmm...awesome job so far, Akuma! As for improvement, I think for something of that size, I would probably used a bit more colors and try to get it slightly away from being a pixel art. Otherwise...well, maybe it'll be better to stop now before I began to repeat myself. Keep up the great job!

The hands look really confusing, I know its suppose to tbe a fist, but I don't see it. I can't tell what the Autobot symbol is when its place on the arm. And the head still a little missed up. I would also suggest you choose less saturated colors for shading.

Damn fine, mah friend. Damn fine.
I am forced to wonder how long it'd take to make a full spritesheet.

It took me a week to do one sprite. I hate to wonder how long it'll take for a sheet.

Well let's see what math has to say...
Carry the pi...
Ooookay. If you started now, you'd finish up about a week before Microsoft goes bankrupt.

Pretty cool
Maybe you could add one extra tone for the reds and grays to so that they are the same as the blue colour? just a suggestion

I was thinking that too. Though I used the lightest blue in only one spot.
