Not finished yet, if you couldn't tell from the merely blocked in legs. I wanted to post this before I continue though because something seems wonky, but I can't quite but my finger on it... And I know I can reduce my colors some, I will go back and do that when I am done with the sprite itself. :3

Oh, and just for fun, here's a small piece I did a couple of weeks ago, I call her Lilith:

First, Zach's much-better-than-I-can-achieve edit, and newest version together for comparison.

(http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/9024/nemonewerce3.gif) Newer version, applied many of the changes in Zach's edit (e.g. much thinner head shape, longer and more structured arm); I also lengthened the other arm some and tried to start the pants, but my cloth folds make it look like he is wearing canvas. Boo hoo. :'(

hohoho this is comming out nice, I like what you did with the shirt, and the pants look fine.  The face still bothers me though, but I don't know what it is, it's probably just me :\

I like the face.  It looks almost aboriginal, and its paleness contrasts well with the hair.  The only complaint I have is that there is nothing that indicates she is a 'she' with the stance and the clothes.  Although depending on what you were going for, it may not be a relevant complaint.

Nah, I was thinking the same thing about the face and I figured it was because I'd been looking at it too long, you know? I didn't apply all of your facial edits to it so I could still do those, and if it is still wonky I'll switch the colors up some. That should be fun. :3

Outsponded by lonlaz! Adding more for great justice.

At first, the character was a guy, but when I had finished the first go everything looked very feminine. The pink certainly doesn't help that. XD So I just decided to leave the sexuality of 'Nemo' up in the air, although he is just a very pretty boy I guess. Thanks for the reply. :)

Edit: I should also add I'm making this for the enterance page for my website I'm making, and it will be displayed on a plain white background. I'll also be adding a cat, but first things first right?
