well, really I wasnt sure if Sohashu intended them to be included in the final version, not because theyre terrible (although they couldve been better) but mainly because he said "excuse this horrible attempt"

And the reason you altered Xion Night's work....?

@ Dascu & Neverest: cool stuff, i like the little monster with the vines and the rafting gnome.

i could tell you that stray black pixel was a mole, but id be full of shit.  was confuses me is how i worked for an hour and a half and didnt even notice it O.o

sometimes you just need a pair of fresh eyes

the staf......i need to look at how other people have done very imperfect angles like this, because im just at a loss as to how to do it right.  it ticked me off when i was working on it, and now it really just doesnt look good.  when i edit i may or may not be able to solve that problem, so im open to suggestions

heres my contribution:



shes a pirate lineart took half an hour, and then i colored it in another hour http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=1119.0

Holy crap, Adarias, those rock.

I consider that high praise coming from somone who just blew my tiles out of the water ^^
also thanks helm and the rest for the compliments.

Personally i like the sprite you have at the moment of the second girl, but anatomically she is a teenage boy (male body structure with narrow hips and broad abs,shoulders, but still not enough meat on himer to be considered an adult.  None of that really seems to be a problem to me though, i think the trouble comes from what appears to be a very tiny head (perhaps just a lack of neck?)

One thing to consider in feming her up may be adjusting her clothes to fit her personality.  Right now her pants are heavy, like anchors, but stiff enough not to hug the form of the legs.  typically clothes on feminine characters do better when they are lightweight and blown out (imagine there is a giant fan in the center of her body and all the clothes and hair are being gently blown outwards by it).  If that ends up looking silly, try finding a more gracefull look by drawing the character on paper with a single stroke.  Once you have captured the essence of the pose, quickly drawing the rest of the figure around that single motion will become much easier (if youve ever done gesture drawings, you already know this technique for finding motion).

id do sketches to demonstrate but my scanner wont turn on :S
