Overall very nice rendering (although dithering is unnecessary on legs) - I like colors and how costume texture turned out. But the pose is awkward: legs are bent and feet are rotated inwards - signs of pain.
Thanks again tanuki! =) I'm still thinking on how best to implement the outline on the drawings, but the way you talked about is still the best. Over the next designs will work best contour.
The darkest color in the hair is RGB-(65, 50, 37) and would make a very good outline color. Try replacing the pure black outline with that color. I tried it and it looks good against a variety of backgrounds. Plus it'll make more use of a color that isn't used very much.
Hmm... i like your pixel-style :) However, it looks so much better without black outline (i've checked it in Paint, lol) and would look great without the outline and *with* aa on edges (to blend it with background)...
As for the woman - her legs are ... well, probably really strong - maybe too strong, if u know what i mean ;) Put her on some diet from the waist down ;)
Really good, i really love it.
