Pixel Joint Forum: 50x70 mermaid [submitted to gallery]

Message

   So I really wanted to make something really small unlike most of my pixels. So I ended up with this. Need some help with the fine details... not used to these types of restrictions. Hate her mouth... dont know what to do about that though.

	A- Your original post image B- To avoid her looking like Carrot Girl consider adding one or two blue or purple shades C- Like real life: The bigger the boobs the less you notice the face ;) D- For real flugly girls E- Since you show no water consider making the hair 'floating'. Now its heavy looking. F- The fin could use a little back tip. E: @ All girls, D is a joke, k. Edited by jalonso - 03 January 2011 at 11:58am

	For a face this small, I find it more effective to keep it simple. Just a couple pixels can make a big difference on a face this small. I reshaped her jaw a bit as well. In my edit I also added a lot more contrast on the hair behind her head. I think it makes the body stand out more. I also agree with jalonso's ideas.
	hehe (ಠ_ಠ ) o_- :p

	Still not reading. Try red/purple/orange heart (in hair) And the colors the heart has now on the bra. (boobs could be 1 px bigger in diameter so they read clearly too. ...looking good otherwise :)

	Yep. Really creepy. XD Everything else is fine, but dear god those eyes. I think its the lack of the white part.

When a piece gets little or no reaction its not always a bad thing. If there is nothing to C+C what can be said... I don't mind the creepy eyes (they truly are scary). Me thinks lucas is correct that some white in the eyes is needed. To me the only thing I can crit is the bow on her hair doesn't look grounded enough and is just sitting over her hair. More shadow behind the bow could help that.

	Well I understand that there is naturally a white then an iris but I like to draw eyes that way but it's not big deal. so lil edit to the eyes and the bows shadow.
