After studying a couple sprites from various games (seiken densetsu 3, bahamut lagoon, RO,  FF...) looking up tutorials, and basically, just winging it from my own idea of what a sprite is...I think I'm starting to get the idea. (And the idea of pixelling, whee!)

an original chara. by me. Her name is Kiku. :D (she is also in the midst of being my object of affection for CG art + vexel <3)

 

Skin Pallet: Ragnarok online skintones (can you tell I was just a little influenced by their sprites?)

Colours: Nuhuh...12, I'm pretty sure o__o;

*mufufu*

 

I'm sure their are glaring mistakes. I've really, really been trying hard not to pillow shade, I don't think I did on this piece...I tried to be as meticulous as possible.

I made an animation on Photoshop Image Ready of her eyes blinking, but it just looked randomly retarded.

So.

One step @ a time. *sigh*

 

C+C would be much appreciated.

:D

 

 

*zooms in to Kiku's right foot*

OMG. Didn't notice those, they escaped while I was touching up on the transparency. Thanks Souly. :D

Thankies, Da_Masta :D

Something about her skirt still irks me, however. One pixel too many for the crotch shadow-foldy part? I dunno.

Her boots were a bit of a hassle, I spend alot of time looking @ the hunter sprite from RO for her boots, I hope they turned out ok. o__o;

Um, that looks like it's a major RO sprite edit. Poor Dugy, everyone always wants to use his stuff. The position is way too much like the female Hunter idle animation.
