In my opinion her arse isn't that weird but her legs are bent strangely... like she's starting to kneel.

Yeah, if i try to straighten her legs though they look 'too' straight

and if i straighten them just a little they look too much like spaghetti.

have the front of the legs on a backwards angle and the back of the legs strait.

Kinda like this

In fact looking at it, that's a bloody awful diagram.

I tried around a bit and couldn't come up with legs that aren't a bit too straight, but it looks better imo. Also, I moved some pixels here and there.

But I ain't of much help since I'm not used to draw in such a lo-res and don't often do pixelart in general.

Yeah i think that is better thanks.

any ideas for the legs on the front and back poses? I want her stood 'off balance' if that makes any sense and not withy both legs straight down. its looks odd on a female.

Hi Calin,

The sprite that really stood out to me was the side one - I really felt you've accentuated the breasts and bottom a little too much.

I agree with Matti that the legs would look better straightened up, and also had a go at reworking the sprite a little. I've made her skinnier, so if you meant for a larger frame then ignore that aspect of the sprite, but I felt these proportions matched the front and back views.

(non arm version makes for easier animation)

I hope this helps :)
