the remapping concept without a doubt will lead to worse individual frames than using a pallet specifically designed for one colour scheme,  I've given myself different rules however, and I want to stick to them.  If I was doing a one of picture then I would definitely do it your way, but, as making game art dictates, often you have to play by more restrictive rules.

today I am moving house, to a place without the internet :\ I will be able to get online on campus only, and I will have a lot of maths to do.

ultimately I'm planning on dividing the dress up into either 2 or 3 ramps as it is, I haven't quite decided what parts will be what, I've tried a few different things.

really bad way to work I know, I'm regretting this poor planning already.

I have an update now.



not particulaly happy with the new thing inside the skirt, but I want to try and do something more interesting than just closing it up.
I'm actually quite pleased with the face now, I think, I might change my mind about that later, haven't decided yet.

That's very strange, there sever is definitely up at the moment, can you get the original post to load ? (with a ctrl+refresh)

well, she's not meant to be a figher sprite :\ what do you think I can do to the boots to make them more regal looking ?  the sholder pads are a late addition, I added them in an attempt to make it look more like a big regal dress, I am suprised they make you think she looks more like a figher.

well anyway, here's an update.



mostely the hair is what I think I have improved the most, I have changed some of the shadowing on the dress to try and make it all look more 3d.  I changed a few pixels of her face, nothing major.  I even reduced her boobs by about a pixel.

[edit] wow thanks fool, that is very interesting indeed, I might try to so something along those lines [/edit]
