Help with my first female sprite?

[Calin Leafshade]

I cant seem to get her right.. especially the side view.. her arse is wierd.

Paint overs welcome

especially the side view.. her arse is wierd.

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

[Calin Leafshade]

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.

[Chicky]

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

Kinda like this

Code: ags

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.

[Calin Leafshade]

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

[Calin Leafshade]

yeah they are much better.. she looks much better slimmer. thanks
