Alex Hanson-White:
Thanks! It was quite a bit of work, but I like to go all the way when making stuff like this.
And damn, you're right about the forearm. I made a handless arm-pending movement first, with the intention to add hands on top of the "arms" when I had the general animation locked down. I see now that I've actually "sculpted" the hands out of the forearms, hence making them too short.
AdamAtomic:
Yes, hands and feet (and hair) could use some (or a lot) of polishing. I think that hands, especially, is something I need to work on when it comes to pixel-art. I just can't see to make them look decent.
About what you said about the background, couldn't agree more. But I've noticed there's a certain "idea" here of how pixel-art should be produced, so I thought I'd just mention it.
Adarias:
Hah, that's funny. I didn't know there actually was a E.R.B. book called "The Cave Girl", that used the same Frazetta image I was inspired by as cover. I guess that only goes to show, once again, that great minds think alike. Or not.
Hm, you're probably right about the colors. I'll see if I can cool it down a bit. Regarding the clothing; I was actually going for a topless cave girl at first, but I couldn't make any decent looking nipples, so I ditched that idea and went for the clothed-but-not-so-much-that-the-clothing-covers-up-boob-highlights-i-tried-to-get-right-for-like-45-minutes route.
Anyway, thank you guys for your comments and kind words. Even though I don't usually go back and revise what I've done, despite excellent critique, I wan't to make it clear that I certainly appreciate it, take it to heart and usually try to improve upon what's been said in my next endeavour.
Now, let's see what I can do about that tiger...
