Mikasa Ackerman - progress thread

[Kazuya Mochu]

nah, that's fine! I sort of understood that it all in good fun!
bit more progress:



I still need to add the compressed air canisters and just overall see what I can change, cause Im not happy with the face or with the boots.
also the scarf may be a bit to bright...

Shouldn't she be a little paler? She's looking a little orange right now. Other than that it's coming along nicely.

And this is the "final" sprite.
I've made an indexed color version so that I could try different pallets, and for kicks I also did one with 15+transparency (on the right) with shared colors.



I've put the sprite on the a background from street fighter alfa but wasn't very happy with the result, so I played a bit around with the levels, so see if I could make it stand out more.

Her left leg isn't reading too well, I thought that was a stump. (sorry not familiar with the show). Maybe if you angle the lower leg down 15 degrees it might make for a better silhouette.

If you're going for SFA look, you'll need to work on the outlining a bit more, especially around the jacket and boots. If you look at sakura there, she has sel-out on the majority of her sprite, except for the bandana and her SNK hair.

I went ahead and changed the leg. I also insisted a bit more on the outline, even though I don't like adding colors when I'm happy with the amount but oh well, its for a good reason



and here they are in a background I did ages ago in this very forum:
