And I for one appreciate that the gender is kind of hard to tell. When it comes to communicating gender on small sprites, I think there's a thousand artists who go too far for every artist that doesn't go far enough. Thick layers of make-up and huge, armoured boobs with golden nipples. One of my game design pet peeves. In other words, I don't think the jawline is much of an issue. Put an average woman in military uniform, and her gender isn't really that easy to identify at a distance.
Yeah, as stated, the figure looks male, probably because of the wide shoulders. Though details that were mentionned by other people might help too. It does look good if you ignore those minor gripes though, so keep working on it!
For starters, this looks great. But I agree with Sokyogoku... the jaw line of the character looks more masculine than feminine.
I really like it, though at first glance I wasn't sure of the gender.
I don't know... It looks pretty feminine to me.
The shoulder pads do make her look wider, but the way the legs and arms are spread helps counteract that shape.
