Teenage girl picture

This is supposed to be a teenage girl, Hailey (I'm not sure about the exact age, but anyway). I would like opinions on this, and which one of the two pictures is better?

The second one would be good if it had the legs of the first I think.

I have a problem with the size of the sprite. Judging from the BG you have here in critics lounge (the bedroom), I would say that she's tooooo small. There could be 4-5 of them girls on the bed. Like Alice in Wonderland or something.

Just saying...

Other than that blue is a nice colour... And I like the sprite

Grapefruitologist · Sat 28/01/2006 09:05:32

Yes, I know.
The room is very large, and I don't why I drew it like that, because I already had a smaller sketch of it and I also had another sprite already that was much smaller.
Which is why there seems to be a very large problem here.
I was thinking I could make only this room large, and shrink everything else. But that doesn't sound logical, so I was thinking I could just make everything small like this in only one room, where I have to have the smaller sprite I had already made, which is why I made this small version of Hailey.
But I still have no clue what to do, because it'd be really hard to draw a bigger version of Hailey. Is there a way I can shrink it (the BG)? Or somebody shrink it for me? If I shrink it on Paint, it gets all squished and distorted.

Yeah, that one looks the best IMO

The right leg is maybe a bit too short.

Here I resized your image

according to the door size the height should be good now.
Thought in the game the screen will have to scroll to see whole the room.

The frontal leg is longer than the other. Her ight hand is missing, or it'sin the pocket, which would make the coat go curvy orsuch on the pocket area. She looks a bit like those girls that I used to know, who lived in the countryside, and didn't care what they wore and smelled like horses and cowdroppings...
Now I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but her father would sure fit in a tractor cabin. If you wan't to make her like a common teenage gril, I'dsay, look at the ones aruond you on the streets, they all dress like each other...other than the freaks, and hmmm, balanced people, or those independent... anyway....

Corey · Sat 28/01/2006 17:09:07

I think she's dressed fine... lot's of girls I know look that way and I guess it's ok.

Becky · Sat 28/01/2006 17:26:03

The only suggestion I have is that it is hard to tell she is a girl as she doesn't really have a figure. But then if your intention is to have a tom-boy type girl, then fine.

nice simple style, i like it. her feet look a little awkward though.

i think it looks like an older version of Peppermint Patty,

Grapefruitologist · Sat 28/01/2006 18:24:06

The right hand is there, I just didn't know how to draw it right, and it's a really light color.
I know one foot is lower than the other, but she's supposed to be kind of facing the other way.
All the teenagers I see look this way... but I do live in the country, so... xD

No its not... The LEFT hand is there though! In a really light color.

Grapefruitologist · Sat 28/01/2006 18:31:27

Oh. I always get left confused with right.
The other one is in the pocket, but I don't know how to make it look like it is.

Uku · Sat 28/01/2006 18:40:15

you dont know how to make left hand look in pocket or look like right hand?

Grapefruitologist · Sat 28/01/2006 18:48:32

Um... yes.
That is, yes, I don't.
Um-question, should I post a new thread for a new character I just made, or just post it here?

Uku · Sat 28/01/2006 18:50:38

WICH OINE? you want it to be in pocket or like right hand, out from pocket?

Grapefruitologist · Sat 28/01/2006 18:52:33

Either way, I just want it fixed. xD

I doubt he'd like the left hand to look like no hand at all... and wouldn't putting it in a pocket make it look like the right one anyway?

What you should do, is firstly draw the lines of the pocket... then adjust the colour of it so that it'd seem to be less flat as the surface of the jacket. Maybe some darkes shadin on the lines of some lihter on the centre of the sprite... I don't have the means to do a paintover right now, since I'm not on my computer...

And I'd still try shortening the other leg, you'd see it would still look like it was facing the way you want. And more normal...

EDIT; and then, I'd post the new character here, since this thread is still alive. If it had anything to do with the game...
