Hey guys,

I'm working on an adventure game and having a bit trouble designing the villain.

The sprite somehow looks unbalanced - as she's having aspinal disorder. Also I'm out of ideas, making her look more evil, so any help is appreciated!




Thanks!

Its hard to suggest how she could be more evil not knowing who she is and the kind of game you're making. Is she a teacher, a scientist, a housewife, a spy, a transvestite, a ho?

Posture does look stiff, maybe she needs more of an S shape.

needs some contrapposto (shoulders and hips at angles rather than straight across, see Michelangelo's David).

Thanks for the feedback so far. Yeah a little character bio might help ;)

Violet Rebecca Swanson, 31 years old female.
She's the junior board manager at a big record company. Her part in the story is a bit hard to explain. Altogether she optains the protagonists confidence by fraud and always follows her own secret plans.

(To be honest, she trys to form an allstar band of undead musicians from some kind of pre-hell )


Here's a new try: I've tried to lower the shoulder and added some highlights to make the hips more visible. But now this cool stripe is gone and haven't been able to re-add it until loosing the shape.
