Here is an unfinished human sprite that I have been currently working on for the past hour or so. I am quite pleased at the current results but as you can see their is still much more room for improvement since the sprite model is not yet complete (ie. lightsource, colours, detail, body shape). Right now their are a total of 32 colours, counting transparent background and clothing, which only has one pixel. The skin tone is not exactly the primary colours, meaning; not the exact lightsource shades, I just added them just to give you a visual of what her skin would/could look like when complete, however, they are out of place and of no use to me at the moment, that is why they will be changed once I'm finished.

One more thing; don't comment on the clothing, if you do, then, well, I'll know how illiterate you could possibly be, because you should know by now that I stated on this and other posts, that I have "not" got around to shading her outfit, besides that her outfit also got a makeover.

Anyway here are the recently updated pictures I created:

Take note; the update pic is "always" located at the bottom of this thread, scroll down to veiw it. It "can" also be found at the bottom of this post.

Pixel Work (NEW):

Here is a small update. Fixed right & left arm length, fixed hairline and made sure to resize the crow. I also fixed up the face portion a little. I adjusted the eyebrows a bit so that it looks like she is showing more of a smirky emotion.

No, I do care about color usage, and 'no' I don't have issues with colour management, it is just that sometimes every once an awhile I go a little bit too far with colouring pixel by pixel, I wind-up totally forgetting how many colors I had used from my palette, but yeah you do have a point, I think I should cut down on that.

Next time use a link please. That image is too large.

I never realised that I was spriting the bodie's position wrong. I guess its time I start wearing my reading glasses while actually drawing from now on, heh. Thanks for pointing that abnormality out.

Try fixing the arm by rounding out the shoulders a tad.

And somethings going on with them breasts, they seem too.... square.

I like the rest of it though.  The skin colors are spot on.

Here is the last small update before I finish it. Now here are the updates; I coloured in both of the arms, I repositioned her breasts 3 pixels downward, I added some fur to the little fella, you know, the crow? I also added buttons to her garment and stretched her legs a bit. Hmm, and before I completely forget I redid her hair (color swapp) and added two more pigtail extensions to the back of her head.

Square shaped, huh? You really must know your breasts, heh. I'll see what I can do.

Ever hear of amazon hair? It's suppose to resemble something similar too that, however I shortened the pigtails anyway, I thought they were a tinybit too long to begin with.

I knew someone would have pointed that out sooner or later. Well then, let me tell you why their both raised; because she will have one to two crows on both pairs of arms, but sadly thats in the final version, the finished peice which I'm currently working on at the moment.

Hmm, the concept has been changed some, so bare with me, heh. This is what the 'final' peice should definitely resemble when I finally complete it. Here are the list of updates as usual; Fixed breast(again), fixed left arm, added belt, added knife, added skull necklace, completed hair, fixed her garment, and I am working on the staff. Of course C&C is always appreciated. Enjoy.

I fixed that, I think.....

The copied portion of the arm was just for an experiment I was conducting, thats all, I guess I had forgotten to add the new arm while posting that day, my apology.

How about this or would you prefer an even darker shade?

Yet another small update; Cut the dress around the waist, giving her a more seductive appeal, adjusted the nipples, fixed her hair by making it longer, and changed her facial expression. Still creating the staff.

I resized her breasts by two pixels, satisfied? I also moved her nipples inward just for you.

Well for one she is not wearing a bra, and two I like it that way, heh.

Update:

I resized her breasts by two pixels, satisfied?

PERKIER

Completed 90%. Sadly though, the rest will just have to wait until I'm finished with another peice that I'm currently working on. Today I am not going to bother with explaining the updates, I think you can spot them out yourselfs.

Thank you all for your support, it helped.

EDIT ; I am now working on this peice once again, this time to finish it now that I have some extra free time on my hands. Now here are some noticable update featuring some small improvements and changes that I have made over the past week; reposisitioned the arm, changed the hair colour & redid her hair style, changed her outfit again, and updated the staff/wand whatever you wanna call it, thats it basicaly, enjoy. C&C away!

Ps. The right hand is too small, so don't critisize me on that please, if you do, I won't answer, simple as that, so don't ok. Thank you.

Update:

Everything looks fairly good.  Im loving the new staff!   In fact, I want one of those.

I do have a couple of crits though. 

The pupils have always been a little too far apart for me.  I know it might end up looking wierder if they move inward if the dimensions arent big enough, but it would make her seem like shes looking ahead, not bugging out. 

I would work on the shading of the neck as well, unless it was meant to look that way, it doesnt seem natural.  Same with the breasts, you may not have even finished those yet, but the lack of shading on those and the odd shading of the nipples make them look out of place.

Quick update:

The pupils cannot be moved any further inward or outward, I had tried this several times when I had first began this pixel peice, the end result always ended up making her look cross eyed, I guess she was meant  to look that way as sad as that sounds, heh.

That is how it was meant to be visually, but then again it is not finished after all either. They will be changed accordenly when I choose a lightsource spot.

To you, yes, but to me, definitely not. I like to screw around with the lightsource a bit when first starting a WIP, don't we all? The highlights on the skins tone you see before you are, well guides. These so called "guides" help me pinpoint the location of the surrounding lighting, basicly they are place holders. Though the reason why they are scattered about on each side is for experimental usage only, that is it. You see, when I have finally decided on a direct spot for the lightsource, then, I will edit whatever other half I do not accept into a darker shade of that selected color.

Oh by the way; I decided on the location of the lighting an applied it, just for you. Still, it needs some work, but I don't have time at the moment to fix it.

You certainly do not need to pick out every single nook an cranny Saiklor, come on now, you really believe I need someone to point out all these errors? No, because I know they already exist, silly. Anyway, it helps.

I had forgotten to add the bottom part to the staff when I updated it previously, my mistake, thanks for pointing that out.

Update. Trimmed a large portion of her dress, revealing her once forgotten legs. An finally; I erased her cape.

I totally understand what you mean, the dress does need some curves and ripples, but at the moment however, I am working on her flesh and upper outfit (jacket), the dress, which is now a skirt, will have to wait until I am finished.

Update. Hmm, I might end up finally finishing this peice up by the end of tonight, yeah thats what I'll do. Atlast the changes; Redrew her hair to blend in with her newly added facial expression, fixed and shaded her body so that it aligns properly with the surrounding lightsource, and last but not least; I added an additional belt.

I'll take a look when I get around to it, thanks.

I think we're forgetting once very important piece of information here: shes a sorcerer (or sorceress), she can alter her boobs with dark magic.

I have to agree this piece REALLY needs some shading on the clothing. And the black outline needs an eviction notice.

I agree with you Alieav. There aren't nearly enough large crotched male fantasy characters to even out this gender unbalance.

In any case, these breasts don't even seem believabley oversized. They look completely flat, despite the fact that theyre meant to be large. This isn't aided by the arms, especially her right arm, which should lean back more to create the illusion of th breasts sticking forward. The angle of the left arm could also be fiddled with, so that it actually feels like she is holding something three dimensional. The breasts also stick outward, making them look awkwardly fake, somewhat similar to Mr Garrison's breast implants in a recent episode of South Park.

Positive things: I like her face, it seems unconventionally alluring. The skull on the top of the pole also looks well rendered. I'm not going to mention the clothing, like some other people here have, because it's obvious that you havent finished-nor even begun- most of the clothes yet, and thats fine because this is a work in progress.

Just keep working on fleshing out the character with shadows, you've got a long way to go before she'll really start to feel like more than a 2D doodle.

Eis very good work, please finishh!!

I think you need cahnge the color of the skin, i think is a little "yellow" not ?

Hmm, here is another update (after a few long months):

Still not much has been done as you can see but thats because I'm too lazy, heh. I'll finish adding shades & colours (whatever) when I have more available free time on my already busy hands.

By the way; I could not help but notice the last few recent posts regarding her breast size (issue). Funny stuff eh? but seriously folks (with all sarcastic remarks aside) its just boobs, besides I'm sure there are even bigger breast sizes then the one she previously had, so its no big deal alright? "BUT" I reduced the sizes anyway, just for you guys/gals.

Small Update:

Really? Hmm, then I'm glad I made the change after all, thanks.

Update:

I understand, an her hair will be shaded "properly" with the next update.
