Thanks, neofotistou! I tried lowering the AA at multiple places.

However the red/brown colour has been tweaked to a bit more purple tone. I wanted to make the shades a little bit more interesting.
I feel like it could be a little bit better though.

Yes, I reverted the colours because I had the same problem as you mentioned.
Thanks for trying to balance it out! I might consider a red change but I am not sure about tweaking the black outline this red. When you were saying increasing the red's saturation to get closer to the anime style you were confusing me when you removed the black outline. Though I agree my black was probably too black ( 14 red, 14 green, 14 blue). However turning it red would not be anime anymore :/
I tried to get down to 13 colours but I could not use the purple instead of the dark red (brown one could say) because on this saturation it felt too bright.

What do you think about this new blackish (rather brownish) outline? I feel like it is too brown for an anime outline, haha.

Additionally lines have been corrected supported by neat visual considerations of the artist Jalonso :)

Thank you, Mr. Fahrenheit!

I took a look at your visual suggestion and followed your advice.
Hopefully this is right:





Tried to improve the lines again.

Here is an animated GIF for a comparison:


Additionally you can solely take a look at the new progress:

Yes, I tried to lower them bit by bit in the last updates.
However I just went for a bigger change on the.



Is this any better on a perspective way?

Additionally the colour amount has been removed from 24 to 17 (without the background grey).



Changed the shoes a little bit and went down to 15 colours.



Edit: Fixed a bad habit within the piece.



New update!

-Changed the eyes quite a lot!
-Hands got some changes.
-Multiple single pixel bad habits were fixed :)

Thank you a lot for your input, dpixel  :)

I took your ideas into account and came up with this:



Specially your way of folding back the skirt was quite interesting! Overall I liked your changes on the skirt but I wanted to remain with a rather lighter base red on it and shaped it a little bit more.

Oh and I could finally fix the single hair on top, haha!

However the shoes are still a little bit weird, I think. I will try to look into that.

Any other suggestions or impressions?

Thanks for the feedback, dpixel!

I agree on your opinion and was already thinking about doing a while ago.
However I wanted to fix the skirt first. Nonetheless I decided to give it a try - might help be to improve the depth.



I might have to get new colours for the outlines to emphasize on them.

Still struggling with the darkest blue shade. I lowered the tone to make it fit more into an outline role. On the other hand it does not work that well on the right sleeve.
I might have to add another colour there or tweak a little bit around. The last option would be removing the shades on the right sleeve.

In the end the dress depth is still not where it should be at - any ideas?

Thanks for your feedback, Kazuya Mochu.

I just found out that one of the references did only load when the user already saw the piece embedded on the original webspace - I fixed this issue in order to see the third reference.

Additionally I tried to add depth of course. This is what I ended up with:

Oldest attempt:


New attempt  using some stronger lines:


Removed the "ugly" lines:


The skirt has been folded on the left and right side. The right side is pretty dark already so there is not that much of detail put in it.
Additionally I tried to add some depth with shades and everything.

Maybe the first attempt was the best.
Oh, and do not mind the blue colour change. Just an experiment.

I am not satisfied at all :/ Though I do not know how to encounter this.

I added some dark shades on her right sleeve. Though I am not sure if it looks better without.
Also I tweaked her shoes a bit.
Nonetheless I am still struggling with the depth of the dress, it is like one of the last things I am not happy with.
Any suggestions?

I made some edits!



In the end I decided to change the size for the sake for this piece!
However I still have some struggle with adding depth to the dress... :/
This is the clean version - my other attempts simply did not work.

Wow, I am stunned! Thanks for all of your commitment and feedback  :y: :)

Lachryrose, yes I suspected her anatomy to be off.
I am thankful for sharing your ideas with me! However I am not sure whether I find your idea too tall compared to the size I was aiming for while doing those pieces. The other two pieces are around 100-120 pixels height.
The idea of using guidelines is good! I should and will do that more often from now on.

Seiseki, I appreciate your commitment as well - it is a bit smaller than Lachryrose's edit which might fit more to what I planned in terms of size - as I said I wanted this to be all a little bit smaller, around the mentioned height of 120 pixels.
On the other side I would accept this height change compromise to keep the head as it is.

Though I am a bit confused what anatomy is right or wrong now - two different attempts of you, haha.
Nonetheless I prefer my arm pose not because of the anatomy but since it seems to be cuter and I do not think it is uncomfortable. Hard to explain - I just tried it on my own before.

Wolfenoctis, I just felt in love with your edit! I agree on your opinion that my current piece looks more chibi-like. On the other side your edit is simply stunning. Sadly I am not sure whether I should try "copying" this. Since orientating will probably just be close to copying it in a stylistic manner.
I am very thankful for you inspiration, though :) I will see what I can make out of it.

Thanks everyone. I still have to think about this and how I could progress.
I might look at some more poses of other pieces to get more sure about the anatomy.
