Pixel Joint Forum: When I think USSR, I think old lady.

Message

Not doing so hot with this. First posted it on Punaji, but forum closure to motivate people to only go to the activities section has stalled any feedback I could get from them. Posted on Pixelation, little feedback. Posting it here in hopes to get someone to give me some relevant critique.

Oh, and David Stoner's lines:

	The hair poking out of the bandanna looks strange. I don't get why it's poking out like that, if the bandanna is over the hair not under it. Also the shoes have no black outline which gives it a weird look. Same with the cane. Do you plan on removing the black outline? Edited by Souly - 02 December 2006 at 6:34pm

	Do you plan on removing the black outline? I wanted the cane and shoes to be shaded, but then realized I had to at least fracture the black outline, which looks ugly, so I just got rid of it. I'm not sure if I'll remove the black outline on the rest. Depends on if I'm tired of it by then or not. Edited by Blick - 02 December 2006 at 6:38pm

	Don't know what you seek exactly. If you want her to look more Russian. The head scarves these ladies use are always very busy patterned. The use of 'reds' help convey a Russian look too, tho subtle. One thing that may convey a Russian woman is those 'community/commrade' medals they always seemed to wear on their chest :/ The chin is great on this old bag XD

	She's got a sort of half face missing type of look. Maybe my perspective's skewed, but she looks like her other cheek isn't there. Is that the style? Maybe that's what's missing.

	I was just following David's lines. I talked to Zach a bit about it and he gave a good edit and critique of it, and this is what I have as of now. He says she should have gray hair, but I prefer it like this. I might make another version with gray hair though.

	You fixed the problem. :) Looks more 3D now. I'd add some more hair on the left side of her hair.
