He was playing NT Rep so I figured I'd do a quick sketch since he dons that suit truly well.-

Name: Skippy
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Race: Slime Person
Blood Type: Slime Jelly
General Occupational Role(s):
- Medical Doctor
- Hydroponicist
- Service: Cook and Bartender
Biography:
Born in Xarxis V, Skippy remembers very little of the oceanic home planet, other than watching the tides slowly grow more distant as he got further and farther away from them. Staring from a shuttle window, alone, scared. This is the earliest memory he can recall, and it's also where his story begins - a very young slime, marooned in space, unsure of how or why he was there in the first place.
Time passed, and eventually his shuttle was discovered by a human spacecraft- the NSV Primordial. Skippy was brought aboard the old starship, frail and weak, terrified by creatures he could not understand and didn't know. He was fed, given a spot in the labs to rest, whilst being kept under close observation. Eventually, he grew accustomed to the humans, and though he couldn't understand what they said, he felt they were not interested in harming him, and that they were probably just as confused as he was.
He grew close, in particular, to a human scientist called Jack Skipper, an expert in Xenobiology, who spent most of his time with Skippy. Though he could not understand them, Skippy started trying to mimic the human; their vocal entonations, their habits, and eventually their physiology. His first words in Galactic Common were "Skippy" - an attempt to talk to his caretaker.
"So your name is Skippy?" - Jack smiled, taking notes of the developments. "I'm Jack. Jack Skipper. We share a similar name!"
"Skippy! Skippy!" , replied the slime, his physical form closer to a toddler than slime. A connection had been made, and a bond shared.
The years that followed, Skippy got more and more involved with Jack, assimilating a more humanoid form and behaviour. He grew taller, learned to speak better, learned to acquire a taste for human food and drinks. Though he advanced in his years as a humanoid slime person, he receeded in his early memories of Xarxis V. Here was home now, he thought, and Jack was his father. It was a period of happiness and joy for Skippy, betrayed only by his feelings that he couldn't totally fit in. Eventually, Skippy was a fully developed slime person, as "human" as any other crew member of the spacecraft. He had been given an education, both in Jack's quarters, as well as in the lab, and was knowledgeable of traditions and customs, values and reasonings given to him by humans.
Some years later, Skippy decided to start studying medicine, hoping to learn more of the human body and be able to pay back for his care. In the coming years, he learned a lot about medicine, practical applications, and eventually became an expert in the field of study. He was also, however, intrigued to discover other species existed, a knowledge Jack had not imparted onto him. In Skippy's eyes, he was a defect, an incomplete human, a mess of a living being. Alone. But now, he knew others like him existed, other slime people, and many more different species out there!
Skippy had decided to keep quiet about his doubts, consoling himself in the literature. Surely, Jack had had a good reason to not tell him anything. He had so many questions about who he was, why wasn't he told about it and why he was in the starship and not in his home planet. That night, during dinner, on the date of his master's thesis completion, he decided he would ask Jack these questions, and finally get some answers.
It was a thrilling day, full of antecipation, both about his work, and his innevitable confrontation. Jack was a great father. He had taught Skippy everything. Love, values, to always keep a smile in the face of adversity, and to always strive to better oneself. So why deny him the truth, Skippy thought. The thesis was a great success, and the ship's crew congratulated him on it. But his father, the one person who he wanted to be present, was nowhere to be seen. Skippy looked for Jack everywhere; the quarters, the lab, he even went to the Bridge and ask the Captain for help, but to no avail. The Xenobiologist Jack Skipper had just disappeared out of thin air.
The coming days were full of emptiness, remorse, sadness, and confusion. No one had a clue what happened to his father, or how he could just disappear out of thin air. Skippy had wallowed in despair, but enough was enough. He had decided to move on, and to keep looking for answers. For his father. For the truth he had been obscured. After some discussion with the Captain, Skippy was dropped of at a NanoTrasen research facility, where he remained for a while.
Who knows how long It's been since he decided to enroll on the NSS Cyberiad, but in the time since, Skippy learned many lessons. He learned more about his origins, made friends with all manners of alien species, and continued to look for any mention of an officer called Jack Skipper. Maybe one day, he will find his father. Maybe he'll return to Xarxis V, and finally get to see those oceans coming closer to him. But until then, Skippy's living one day at a time, with a smile on his face, looking to care for his friends, do his job, and look out for the truth.

Your work is so appreciated. It helps lots of new members.
Personally, I know a lot of what's written, but It's always nice to brush up on knowledge! -

I have reached enlightenment! I am now a solid A+ Phytomancer!
Thanks for the guide!
-
I'll admit my ignorance here and say I'm on the Phytomancer range, but "Plants that recharge the cells on your person allowing for instant e-gun refills" leaves me confused.
Any experts want to impart some wisdom so I may reach my full potencial? -
Not a sprite but I figured I'd drop my drawings in here as well instead of making a new thread.

I decided to show you all my previous work across the years, I hope you enjoy it!
I'll try to keep it ordered through time, from oldest to newest work. If you have any questions do let me know! I had a lot of information and bits of story written down, but those sadly have been accidentally edited off, alongside everything else! I'm happy to share it though, If anyone's curious!
Now including some never before old footage of SS13.The Early Years
(circa 2012-2014 )

To start this off, let me show you my first sprite ever. A simple milk carton, and a few reworks of it.

Some commentary here. You can see from the animations that the first flying animation was pretty.. bad. The way things flap, as well as the bobbing was improved into the Poly you know.
Bolt Shutters / Space Airlocks
Cherry Tree
Little unknown fact, this Cherry Tree was a homage to a great spriter I worked with, Cherridan. If you're reading this buddy, all the best to you!
After 2014, I stopped spriting, and instead focused on other projects. On the next post, I'll share the present day stuff I've been up to, and some from the hiatus.

Not bad! I recommend using a more contrasted palette though. Outline is really important too.
Personally, I tend to stick to 3 colors, or 4 at most, which I noticed you used. Exceptions may occur!Using your witch donut as an example. I separated the colors, and right away you can see there isn't a lot of contrast between them. The result makes the image a lot smoother, but it also makes it less defined. I will also advert that shading is a bit off, making it confusing as to where the light source is coming from (presumably bottom right, but for example, the middle doesn't have any shading)
I was having issues editing your picture, so It looks a bit weird, but you can see what I mean with the color choices.
Overall, not bad sprites! Keep up the good work!

Not sure If this is necro, but RadiantFlash brought up some good points, and I feel like some small tweaks could be done (If they haven't already).
I immediately noticed there's no space loop in atmos, and that made me sad. Seems to be a bit more space in Atmos too, which makes me happy. -
In the internet, we have this one rule..

Honestly, this was one of the best critics Security . I fulheartedly support this.
This even has a fucking SoP. -
Honestly, I like Security but here are my two major issues.
a) Head of Security very rarely knows what they're doing. I almost feel it should be Karma purchased. No joke.
b) I hate the layout of Brig. The offices don't make sense, and the processing room is a joke. As is the courtroom which is never used.
I shall dwell on the issues, and play some rounds to form a better idea.

As a slime people player I'd rather have squishes randomly squished with different pitches or make slime people farts a long string of squishes.
