Sketch/lines/concept.

I drew some lines to show where her nose ect would be behind her arm.

Anyway what do you all think?



Is this something that would be ok for this contest?

Tiny update. colors or anything at this point might change.

Also ignore her not having any hair at the moment



and as of 11/20 currently with 13 colors 14 with trans

Nice work H|F :)
I'd suggest some color edit
sorry this edit has 17 colors, some colors are mistakenly added while editing..
anyway,
I think you should ditch the dithering, and use a hair color to AA the body instead of dithering it..
it would also give you another color to use on the body, so you could make the back leg darker and give it more depth..
here's the edit..


I really liked your outline, the hair style was unexpected, and when I saw the outline I had higher expectations for the outcome
I was thinking you were gonna make some interesting colorful character..
I think you could save some colors, not use so many on skin color since the skin doesn't show much..

hope I helped :)
