I've had lots of time today.
Started working on a chicken (because I am just making versions of every other sprite in harvest moon already, so I may as well):
I kind of have everything at the same perspective now, although looking at some other games people tend not to be super obsessed with consistent perspective at this resolution.
Trying to come up with clothing designs that allow for tasteful side/underboob:
Yes her left arm is wicked deformed - whatevs. The focus point should be the breasts.
Some residual lineart in there as well, sorry.
Attempt while purposefully defocusing my eyes:
I feel like it came out a lot better. My main focus was on the mountains. I originally took a massive brush and just went over the image at something like 25% zoom while squinting, but that left a lot to be desired, so i zoomed back to 100%, shrunk my brush a bit and touched up the mountain ranges (and some on the clouds and trees, but that's not well done at all).
Should I not have done that rather?
