So, I’m thinking of doing this animation based on a concept I had almost a week ago. It’s about this cyborg girl who gets fatter in increments when a bar fills up and also gets upgrades in gun sizes when she defeats enemies. The “weight ammo” is then stored and used to defeat more enemies that are sometimes much stronger.She uses all her ammo and gets skinny again. Erina also gets and loses different abilities according to her size. (She can't jump when shes pretty big.)

How does she move being so huge? Her fat is a soft synthetic material and therefore light weight and durable as well as the parts underneath the outer layer. So, she weighs less than a normal cyborg would, which gives her the freedom to jiggle around and keep moving.

This is the sprite I’ve been working on which would be her max weight. Any larger and its just being ridiculous right? Right?

thats the final stage? i think she could get muuuuch fatter...
about the art itself i think ur palette needs refinement. u have too much colors ( the palette u put down even hasnt got all the colors used in it...) ur ramps are too linear (use hues shifting, that makes it much more interesting to look at)... her stance looks static, and could need more expression, like the face aswell

Better? Tried to make the pose dynamic n stuff.

EDIT: And yeah its not shaded properly yet either.

Thanks for the pics Buddy90, but I'm kind of confused as to what you think I should approach this like. Do I make her look more like a human fat girl? I guess it doesn't matter that she’s a cyborg if the synthetic flesh still behaves the same way. I don’t want the body mass to sag too much, so to keep it looking kind of cartoony and not as realistic as possible. Maybe you could do a paint-over because I’m a little lost on where to start here. Would making the sprite taller help any?

Here's a fine fat woman (nudity): http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/13863.htm

Advice like yours is exactly why I'm here. Thanks for the insight. I can see what you mean about the anatomy too.

Minor pose update. What was I thinking just having her stand there like that? Wait, did I leave out her butt?

it's getting cooler man! u could add more details in to the gun and stuff.

I think this is better. Gave her some rolls :B

@ AB lazer: i think shes a little hard to read... but going 24x24 was brave, thought id give it a try too... reduction is fun ^^

ok! ^^ good one! gonna try 8x8 tomorrow but now its rly late and im tired ;D, maybe we can take it to subpixel 1x1

My attempt at 8x8:

The problem with lowest resolutions is that you have to sacrifice details 'cause 'ere bscly №t nuf pxs 4 m!

My take on animation.
