How about green?  :D
She's got a few green pixels on her arm to show the color of the light, but I don't know if they're helpful or just ugly.  Also, part of the problem with the shirt is that... it's not really a shirt, but rather a sort of poncho-like thing; the torso bit and the arm bit are all one sheet of cloth.  Yes, I realize that, were one to set out to find the absolute worst garment in which to practice archery, this one falls short only of a bourka, but anh, it looked good.  In any case, design is always second to clarity, so I tried putting some separation anyway.

As for the face, I pulled her hair back a pixel or two, added some more light, and gave her a 2x2 eye. :-\  If you're willing to do an edit, the thing to focus on would be that, and/or the palette (which is a bit better this time, hopefully).

Edit: as EvilEye suggested, here are the lv1's in a smaller format:


Edit again: OK, I redid the palette and made them both the same.  The two greens I might use in other places, or they might just be empty spaces if I need other colors later.

OK, I tried to get rid of it.  The palette for this one's similar to the seeker's, but I tried making the ramps a little less straight.

Made a start on the Weaver, thought I'd see what you guys thought before coloring it.  Bow's not in yet, on account of being hard as heck to draw. :-X

Oh, and I'm not trying to use selout, but rather to put a really weak outline, if you see what I mean.

New: Old: Helm's:
I tried to edit mine and sort of imitate the stance you created, but I ended up having her stand even more upright, and I'm not sure I accomplished all the things you suggested.  However, this one makes the old one look like she's falling asleep, so I guess that's good.

I'm still not sure I get the palette bit.  I'm pretty much unable to see any rhyme or reason in Helm's selections... :sry:  Oh, and the purple's obnoxious, I know, but there's a very specific set of colors required by the recoloring engine, so there's not much to be done about it.
Edit: looking at it now, maybe I should knock the second- and/or third-darkest blue-greys down a bit? Hmm.
Edit again: maybe my screen is too dark?  Hmmmmm. :-\
Edit plus plus: fixed the skirt.

Tried AdamAtomic's method; right is just a recolor thereof.  Now it's time for sleep. -_-

Well, I tried doing it your way.  15 colors, of varying hues, and 1-bit transparency ('cept for the shadow, which is just set to %10 and not blurred).  Didn't change the structure much, but it looks better, aside from the fact that the jaggies make my eyes bleed.

...the shadows and light balls aren't done by hand, they're Gaussian blurs.  I figured it would be fairly clear which bit was the sprite and which the background elements (and for the record, the shadows are only blurred because that's how Wesnoth's official art style dictates it should be done).  Does adding transparency and a blurred shadow to something you laid down pixel by pixel somehow make it not pixel art? :-\

Let me repeat: I did these with the hard-edged pencil tool.  I'm failing to see how you're coming to other conclusions.

Should be fixed, and I went ahead and did the hiragana as well.  Hopefully I didn't mess those up.  In other news, I hate the character for "po."
-Edited as per below.

OK, fixed it up.   :blind:
Edit: sigh.  It's been too long since I studied Japanese. :durr:

Memory.  What did I forget/add? atrkhmnswy, vd gbpnz, then the half-sized ones...  i think that's all of them? ???
Edit: yeah, vis: http://www.saiga-jp.com/img/character/japanese_language/hiragana_katakana_list.gif
The ones I have that they don't are: va-vi-vu-ve-vo (a-i-u-e-o with the two dots) and half-size a-i-u-e-o; both of these are for constructing sounds not native to Japanese (such as "di," which is written de-small i).

Edit v: ahh, ok, fixing
