Well you're not wrong she would look "tan"( more sun burnt if you ask me ) but she's just light skin


user

 You're free to play with it but I thought it still communicated that she was tan, but also easier on the eyes.


user

You sure those are the right numbers ? cause I'm testing it out and it's looking very red right now  (it's good color and all but it's not the color I'm going for right now )


user

 Lighten up her skin. You can still have the tanned look, but it will improve readabiliy a lot. I quickly tweaked it in GraphicsGale (14, 81, 63 in HSL) and it looks much better. I'd also change her eye color to reduce the mononity of the color scheme.

I know right, I got the idea to draw Jojo like that after seeing a bunch of women with Betty Boop t-shirts on. And after while I just started drawing her like this.

Also she does have eyelids they're just thin, you probably can't see it cause it's the same color as the hair


user

No thanks besides if I drew it like that it won't feel right you know

Not saying that it's bad, it is done very nicely ( check grammar later ) it's just not me. So I'm keeping the eye the way it is

 There's chibi/anime big, then theres pointlessly obnoxiously large with no detail that can't be recognised at eyes at first glance.

Also she still has no eyelids. Looks like a reptile.

 I said the eyes were a defect not the character nor your work.

 

EDIT:

I forgot to ask you if I could change but I did to help...

thats what I mean. GL =)


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/22/2012 11:22

No it's not a defect I've alway drew her like that so I made the pixel version of her like that too.

Also don't you think that's kinda rude calling someone elses work defected ?


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/22/2012 11:18

Yep that's the style she's suppose to have big eye's


user
philippejugnet (Level 6 Hitman) @ 1/20/2012 11:47

WOW soo big eye its not a style, its a defect.


user
_Connor (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 1/20/2012 00:53

 The eye is wayyyy too big. At least give it some eyelids.


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/18/2012 19:47

ok

just needs the non-pixelled preview changed and it's ready for the gallery. a detail of the piece is usally used, we try away from downsized previews because they aren't actually pixel art. nice piece, could use more contrast (lighter hair, darker skin shadows)


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/16/2012 22:04

mmm... nah I'm just going to keep the outlines besides it's not like it's hurting it


user
A.B. Lazer (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 1/15/2012 06:22

The thing is that outlines are much harder to edit than splashes of colour. So with outlines tempt not to change anything is bigger. 

Also without outlines you can cram more detail in tiny space - look how first Mario sprites work without them and imagine if everything was outlined.

Sometimes outlines are necessary, though.


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/14/2012 14:17

awww but I like the outlines


user
A.B. Lazer (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 1/14/2012 08:27

Good, good. Now notice that one of the shaded areas is the neck - look in the mirror with light falling from the top and the side and part of the neck will be covered by shadow. On this picture chin and part of the shoulder could be defined via change of colours between shaded and bright areas - eventually you'll develop skill to define everything with just a shadow and lighted areas and rarely will need outline.

Roger roger! Drop the knees and left light

 


user
A.B. Lazer (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 1/13/2012 14:04

Yeah, now it became more boring, but true to life. Still I like how colourful it is, and this makes sprite interesting.

let's move to other things.

- Knees are too high. They should be the same distance from crotch as from navel to center of the breast - somewhere where on this picture legs are intersecting.

- Shados suggest that light falls from top left, and highlights don't correspond to it - like light goes from top left (belly), from bottom right (for her left leg, lower part of her left arm and face), from top right (upper part of left arm) and from bottom left (her right leg).


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/12/2012 20:56

Well if you say so


user
A.B. Lazer (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 1/12/2012 02:39

Ptoing means that except hair parts would not move like that on person standing still . I like the style of the character and I'm certainly not against the bounce in general, but I have to agree with him - movement must be justified.


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/11/2012 14:26

well ok then I'll just have to try better then


user
ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 1/11/2012 12:55

The movement is not looking like it would work (not even in a cartoony way) and a lot of the bits look like they are just deforming and jerking around. If you want to get into animation I suggest you invest into the book "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams.


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/11/2012 12:39

um...ok then...so what should it be then?


user
ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 1/11/2012 09:41

The animation makes zero sense. 


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/10/2012 21:50

Whoopsie sorry about that


user
jam1220 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/10/2012 21:48

aye aye mister evil


user
God_Is_Evil (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 1/10/2012 15:06

XD nice sprite

You should make the dark skin color darker to add contrast.

Hope that helps in some manner.

A couple of minor notes- 12 of the 24 frames have two pixels in an area that's suppose to be transparent but aren't. Also it's better if the thumbnail is related to the full image (one of the rules of submitting things here). In this case a thumbnail of just white letters on a black background doesn't really show people a preview of what the full image is. Lastly I just noticed that her belly button seems to nearly disappear every few frames or so. It gets faint enough that it looks like it disappears completely until I zoom in.
