Happy to! Sorry, I wanted to make sure they weren't placeholders or anything before crittacking.



Not a huge difference. I didn't mess with the color identities much at all. The main things to note are higher contrast and achieving more of your value range by shifting hue in addition to brightness. And of course, lower saturation.

Also, the palette was really messy; you had several colors that were used for only a handful of pixels. Very wasteful. I reduced the color count by 10 without even making a concentrated effort to optimize. Although it should be said that some were eliminated by mixing the hair and leotard ramps.

sometimes here i can't believe if they pixeled everything or not. photoshop is now my enemy. (when i close up i found out you pixel) (i think)

I was talking about those "oranges". They look more realiistic now. That bit of hair is more of a test, I'll refine it/try and make it look better.

Anymore CC on the drawing?

I think the thing BluWriter noticed is that the hair is shown growing out of her head on the part, but then doesn't seem to be attached to her skull anywhere else.  You can see the curve of her actual skull under the higher curve of her hair, where you would expect to have a hairline because of the location of the part.

Did that make sense? xD

I love that patch of hair. :D I hope you're going to shade the rest of the hair more, as well...

I was going to add more shine, haven't got to that yet XD

About her arm...

seems that her right arm is too short, compared to the left one.

I'm not sure if I'll change the pose of that arm... I'll try and see what it would look like though. One reason is it's helping her balence a bit, as you can see one leg is forward so it pulls her body that way, if she puts her arm too far forward then it would shift her weight.

Oh, it should be fine, she is 100% fur covered! Thanks for viewing.

She has fur... don't see too many cats/dogs wearing the latest fashions XD

What can I say, it's an odd angle!

The ear looks MUCH better, but it's too far forward and at a sort of odd angle.  I did a rough redline edit, pardon the sloppiness as my mouse doesn't want to cooperate right now. (It's almost a decade old, and it shows.)

Also, I know from personal experience that the position of the arm she's lying on is extremely uncomfortable, besides looking a bit awkward.  I was going to suggest an alternate pose but then I remembered how much I fail at poses.

The ear looks odd, and I can't figure out how you're attempting to do it.  Are we looking at the back of the ear or the inside?  Is it at the natural resting position or is it folded down slightly?  The upper edge of the ear needs to connect to the head at a higher position than the lower edge, and both connections or at least edges would be visible in that position.  Would you mind if I made a small edit to clarify what I'm trying to say?

Beside from the right arm and hand, the anatomy looks nice in my opinion. (the fingers on the hand look to short, and her right arm seems to thin in some places and to short)...

*sorry for bump*

That's pretty freaking well sketched with a mouse.
I would tell you to just get a tablet and to not torture yourself like this but i guess you've already considered that and for some reason can't do it so i wont mention it... :P

Leg gets too thin at knee and too curvy afterwards. Elbow looks too far down the upper arm (even with the perspective) and the arm generally seems too thin to me. Since you're overexaggerating the curves of the body i'd try to avoid making the limbs too thin.

Good luck mousing it.
