This is a custom Grimm Reaper sprite I created replacing npc-38 (SMB3 Boo). Here you go, the download:

Any comments? It, has a second sprite when stationary btw.

I have mixed feelings about this graphic
Because I think it looks good but
there is something about it I don't like
but I'm not sure what it is that I don't like

Those tiny arms tho.

Why is his cape blue? Death shouldn't have a black cape instead?

I don't like it that much myself but that's just me. It was a good attempt though.

Hmm, I would say it's an okay for an attempt, all though I have to agree with Natsu and wrwgamer. The blue cape doesn't fit, color it in black. Maybe you should try using the Grim Reaper's Castlevania (NES) sprite as a base and try re-drawing it.

As a (self proclaimed) 16 bit artist (hue hue) I have to say that it looks good, but it doesn't fit the style of Mario. I know there are SNES games tho that use that artstyle, but it's not SMW, it still looks good tho imo, fitting for the month of october lol

Okay so I forgot to make a death sprite so I'll add that and make the cape darker and try adding some other minor touches and fixes to make it look better.

Fixed everything I said above. New download and image up.

Looks decent, but the handle of the Grim Reaper's scythe is barely visible, since his outfit is black as well as the handle. Maybe try to make it more clear to see. Also, I know this is extremely minor, but his right eye is smaller than his left and vice-versa on his leftwards frame. His arms lack shading and are pixelated as well. Keep it up, though, this has lots of potential.

I would also suggest making the handle stand out. You can recolor it brown and make it wooden, perhaps.

Okay, sure, good idea.

A Reaper on my sight! Oh man! It thinks me of this one that is extremely deadly aswell!



To be fair, this sprite you made looks quite nice for a Mario Styled Level actually and I can't see anything wrong to it so you did a very good work on that.

Ok fixed the scythe handle.

Link updated. (BTW sorry no image my PGE is not working for some reason...)
