Souly inspired me and, as soon as got my (beloved) computer back, I did this. I like it, but there are always details that can be improved - that's where you guys can be helpful 
At this moment only a few things bother me: * I feel the place where the hair thouches the face is not very good...what's the real problem? Solutions? * I highlighted the hair whith the skintone but I'm not sure if it looks good...Opinions? I'll be waiting for you C&C. Love, "Your Sweet Six-Six-Six" |

I think the outline of the hair doesn't need any AAing, only makes it look fat and bluured. I like this clean style, though : ).

The contrast in the hair needs to increase to make the highlights more visible.
Souly, your art is cave-story-tastic  ------------- Formerly CrazyAznGamer. |

I think the skin tone could be more saturated, but that's just my personal preference, and probably would go against what you're going for (or your real complexion.) Perhaps the hair - skin transition is kinda weird because the dark shades of the hair and the skin are too close in color and shade. There just needs to be a little more definition between them, perhaps with some slight/broken outlining of the hair. It looks awesome already, though. :'D It's just not quite where you want it yet.

I fully agree with Stichy. The character itself is really cute. It may be your intention, the feet as shown makes the sprite appear to jumping? @souly, the style is awesome and very original, in fact its very, very good. ------------- |

Many thanks for the feedback, it was very helpful! Tried to have in account all of what been said while reworking the image, but I probably missed something...here goes: old-------new  (now that I see both side by side, I think the new one has lost most of it's cuteness  )I didn't make the arms longer, but tried to incorporate those pseudo-hands...the legs remain the same as the ones on the first sketch, I haven't had better ideas for the yet (suggestions are welcome though). I also darkened the skintone a bit, so it suited better for the hair's highlight. I darkened the whole because it's now closer to my hair's real colour and to (try to) fix the hair/skin problem. I also reduced the colour count by one! *maniac grin* And I think that's it... I still feel it needs improvement, but I'll be waiting for more feedback from you! |

Love it filax. I realise i may have ruined the cute small feel to it with the length of the limbs, but i just thought it was a cool pose. Take from it what you will, it was fun to edit. Added white #FFFFFF. =O  -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">
