Title: [WIP] Custom Style Woman - Need Help
Post by: Azgardes on July 10, 2007, 12:12:43 am

I'm new here. I've heard from a reliable source that this is the place to get excellent C+C, which is what I need. I was trying to sprite a woman, because I never have, and I ran into trouble. I got the head looking right, the upper torso looked okay, the arms were decent, except the legs. The legs were a bitch. I can't get them to look right. I would like her to have shorts or a skirt or something on, but I had to make her have jeans cause the legs were such a pain. Help please. I need some C+C to get these legs right.

The pose on the right is the one I'm going for.

There's the heads, I couldn't get them to look right when shaded either...

Also, the boobs look kinda off. Anyone know how to make them look... right?

NOTES: She'll be holding a sword in her (our left) right hand, and a gun in the other.

Nice edit Smiker! This piece needs more contrast though Azgardes, I liked that blue outfit she had, since she's probably out being all action hero, she probably wouldn't wear a dress. If you do keep the dress, make sure the wind effects that too.

Here you go. Take what you will from it.

I think your sprite overall is very nice and cute.

I'm sure someone else could do a much better job with the hair than what I've done with it.
As for your question on boobs, you have to first make a solid decision on the size and shape. Once you've got that down, try to transfer what you want onto the pixel-drawing board. I gave your sprite average ones.
The trick to making breasts look natural is to think of them as extensions of the chest rather than two objects stuck on the chest.
