Well, I got the figure I was going for, but I don't know what to do know. How is what I have so far? I may decide to make it fit hi-res specifications after I think of where I'm going with it.

I really like it. Not just because I'm a perv :D. It reminds me of rotoscope stuff from the game "out of this world". Draw the whole body in that style (no antialiasing, few colors) and that would be fantastic. Do an animation and you would be my hero.

Please provide reference material in the case you're tracing. And I'm not only saying this because I want to see a girl in stockings.

I didn't trace, I just worked on the outline until it looked correct, speaking of that I need to fix the right side of her undergarmet, it's not shaped right.
I love Out of this World! Just by saying animation you gave me the idea... will do when I get home.

The AA is not working... You have to look into it, it just blurs the line
-
The knees are too high making the legs look like some kind of tentacles.
You also made up a shadow that shouldnt be showing where the leg joins the hip (at least shouldnt be like that). Since you are using a reference, you might aswell pay more attention to it.
The thong straps are too straight to look realistic, you have to have in mind they wrap the body, and they arent glued there as if it were paper (and the pseudo AA, as Gil said doesnt really work). The tights (the top of it) have wrong perspective.
But really, as said, if you are using a reference, you should pay attention to how shadows are placed and shapes and so on, even if you are under restrictions from the hi-res.
Oh and it's anatomical. :X

How about something like this?
Oh, and also, please post references without being asked for them next time. Thanks.

I think the bulge caused by the stockings isn't exactly doing the image any favours. Might be better to use your discretion to iron that part out.
I like where it's going with the block colours, another world only used block colours because it took up less room on the disk, however it was a stylistic masterstroke!
Helm: users are required to post references for all pixel art now?
An artists best weapon is references others do not have access to.
-
Posting ref is not a must, but it is encouraged. We have had problems with rippers and people who just convert images tons of times with them claiming they did it themselves.

I'd say that would be the correct way to look at it if we were all competing here. You don't need weapons against anyone here then, as we're not competing, this is a critique forum, and not the commercial arena. If you've used reference, we'd like to see it, yes, up-front, nobody having to play detective on you. If you feel you're 'giving away your secrets' by posting said reference, then you probably shouldn't be posting for critique.

I thought an artists best weapon was his own imagination?
on topic: hmm its ok, the background seems weird to me. Helms edit is probably the most help to you in this topic. I agree to the comment about the knees looking like tentacles.
Is this your first piece with C64 pallette/limits?
-
I'll change the AA. Panda, I'll try to take some of that into consideration.
Helm, you've pretty much discouraged me from even wanting to finish the image, but your edit is virtually useless to me. I'm not dithering it, the stockings and thong are going to be white, and I prefer the red tone skin as opposed to the brown.
The bulge in the supposed to be there.
No Feron, it's not my first, if your going to say I didn't follow the rules, reread my first post.
The background doesn't mean anything, it just a layout thing I do for c64, so you know where the 8x8 tiles are. Once I finish everything that I want, I'll post it, if I ever get around to doing it again.
Larwick @ posted right after me, odd, but if you read this, I say in the second post that I know thats its a problem and I need to fix it.
-
It looks to me like the lump you added when making it white was unecissary, seeing as i believe most of that space was shadow... ???
-

I agree my edit isn't very useful to you since you don't intend to dither the image, but then how is it discouraging that I did a different take than you plan to do?

I wasn;t going to say that, just making light conversation / taking an interest into your work ;)

YOU'RE nonsense. !yus! !yus! !yus!
Edit: this is how I prefer to view this post by the way:

Thanks Feron, it is appreciated.
Helm, your a moderator right? I think you just broke one of your own rules, posting without new critques, and flaming... close my thread please if you and hawken are just going to battle.
-
Nobody's flaming anyone, it's just a joke, relax.
-
Well, it's a joke at the expense of my thread then, lock it please, I'm done with this image. :sry:
-
done? youve still got anatomical errors to fix and light/shadow rendering to do!
-
No worries man, I'm going to finish the entire image, then post in a new "uncontaminated" thread, this ones gotten out of hand.
