22 colours, not really worrying too much about colour count on this one.
Bigger concept art of her just in case.


Eventually I will have 4 (or maybe 8, 8 would be better, but twice as much work, literally, plus the diagonal views are much harder to draw and animate) directions done and animated, but I wanna get the base sprite done before worrying on the rest. One small step at a time. Plus, its the main character, which people will be looking at all the time, so its gotta be as good looking as possible.



Someone told me that it looks nothing like a girl and the hair looks like a beard... Would love some help with making her look girlier. (no, I'm not going to give her huge boobs).


EDIT1:
Some small changes suggested by skeddles. And I decided to remove the thing on her arm, since the player should be able to equip/unequip it.

Thanks man. I dig that edit. Gonna try come come up with something new later today, gotta go take a shower and pick up dog poop right now. Maybe it will be better if I don't do it in this order, though.

I don't know man, I'm not trying to make her look very feminine, she's supposed to be young and not to have such an attractive body. Gonna try it to see how it looks though.

Damn you guys and these edits that make my first try look like crap.

Gonna give this another try soon.

Tried to feminize it.

you aren't online,  so I'll post here, I'd make the shade color for the skin redder, and put one pixel of it under the cheek on both sides, as shading to contrast the hair

ps: contrast contrast ^^;

as for the side view, I suck so I can't help.

Few more edits.

EDIT: Some colour changes

Awesome, man, that helped a lot.

Gave me a really good idea of how the body is supposed to look.
Your hair looks much better than the one I did, but I'm trying to keep the same sizes on stuff as they were on the front view, which is a really pain. At times like this I wish I knew how to do 3d models. x]
EDIT: Some small edits.

Does this kind of nose works?

I see.

Actually, I changed the fit to something closer to yours soon after I posted it, but didn't think it was worth uploading again. I will see if I can try to find a way to make the bandana more bandana like, still having a hard time with that. And her hair... Damn, I'm hating her hair right now.
Thanks for all the help man.

Dude. I love you. I was gonna say that I love you in a non homo way, but that was before that bandana edit. Totally gay for you right now.
EDIT:
very small fixes

The scarf is blue right now instead of purple. And you'll want to define the ass and the curve of the back by having a bit of drop shadow.
And you'll want to try to get the wrinkles in the bandana somewhat slanted instead of straight vertical lines, and give it a more rounded shading.

Thinning her legs 1 pixel at the knees(in all 3 view) will make her more feminine and less chunky and I'd pull the legs back in the sideview to get rid of the straight line.

lucas, you are good 

Well they don't need to be symmetrical, or brought together like a soldiers. Break them up a bit, especially in the side view. There is a perfectly straight line from her neck to her boots, and straight lines are

I'm sure once its animated it will be clear that she is a girl. Maybe add some girly idle animations for good measure.
