Night, thanks for all the great info. I will dive into your suggestions when I wake up. They make a lot of sense and your example really "pops". I don't really have the proper vocabulary, but it really adds a lot of "life" to the character. I like what you did with the mouth a lot, it adds a lot of dimension. I never thought about seeing the cheek/back of mouth. It makes total sense, I'll chalk that up to a beginner mistake
I just thought I would post some progression images. I started out with a really rough sketch, and photographed it, scaled it and outlined it. The first image is when it was really rough, but at a point I thought I would save as a base point. I got a little excited and didn't save before this point.
The second is some plainer coloring I did:
The third is some attempts at dithering (pretty bad haha).
I decided at this point to split off and make the image in two different styles. The first is the one I posted on the purple background. The second direction was more "outlined" sprite type, if that makes sense.
