The color was emulating the color style from the game, which is very flat. Very little shading. The color was grabbed directly off the character's sprite. Then I added a few more shades in order to help show depth and also avoid having to use a black outline. I didn't feel it necessary to add any extra detail to her hair or clothes. Her design is very simple.
Kumatora! I love Earthbound. So f**king much. If you people think it's bland, then you just don't know her character >_<
I really love the colours, but I also agree with Raider. Really great pose too!
It doesnt look bad but it does look empty, you have so many colours but so little shading going on. The hair and clothing etc is very bland and has nothing.
Kuma doesn't look right when she's shaded; her design really only works with flats like those of Mother 3. Nicely done, though I feel like the AA could be stronger with the amount of colors used (especially when you look at how soft the corners of her hair are).
