Is the dithering okay? I always put waaaaay too much on, but it blended a lot better that way, and it's not obvious unless you peer closely at it. :\

Ryumaru, I tweaked the eyes a bit, but I don't know if I can get rid of more of the banding. As for the bird, it's relevant as a character point. If I don't put it back, I'll probably put something else there, though. Hmmm. Bird is definitely being redrawn if I keep it, but we'll see how it goes.

Fixed the face up some; dithering's much less obnoxious now. Tattoos are coming back once I'm done shading the chest. The bird is gone for now, but I might redraw it if I'm not bored of pixeling by then. If I don't, the arm is probably going away.

Wow, thanks for the info, ndchristie! Yeah, I looked at some of their art and sculptures too, figuring that they'd probably show a general sort of facial structure that would suit my purposes.

Anyway, I made the shoulders wider, redrew the bird's feet, and changed a few small things about the head. Is my anatomy straight? I'd rather change it now than after I shade it, haha.

Well, the character isn't an authentic ancient Egyptian. Pseudo-Egyptian character from something, and she has reasons for wearing her hair short. Thanks, though! It is pretty modern, which might not suit my purposes. I tried a bunch of other hairstyles and didn't like them, but maybe I'll revisit it again.

Oh yeah, that sleep thing I was going to do...

The pose was because I made her shoulders too small for the bird to rest there and didn't change it for some reason. I think I might go back and redraw the shoulders in the proper proportions so the bird can rest on it properly.

Before I shaded it, the head actually really looked like Halle Berry for some reason. Gah. I spent a while looking for pictures of Egyptians trying to get the features right, but yeah, it didn't really pan out. :\ I might give it another shot later. I'm making the hair darker, which helps, but it's still sorta weird.

Thanks for the input!

EDIT: How exactly would you change the lips? I found a few facial reconstructions of ancient Egyptians online, and they all had very full lips.

Also, I screwed around with the palette a little. Still not happy with it, but thoughts? The highlights on her hair will hopefully be a little less brown once I get more colors, but we'll see how it goes. Anyway, it's 5am, so I'll mess with it tomorrow.

Most recent version:



Original version, although it's somewhat embarrassing now:



Clearly this is unfinished, but as line art is typically one of my weaknesses, I figured I should stop and get some input before proceeding. I know her head is big, and the bird (an Egyptian vulture, btw) is smaller than it should be, but oh well. Feedback so far? Palette (I cannot make hair black to save my life)? Dithering (excessive)?
