Blake Belladonna (RWBY) RPG Style Sprite

Here's what I've got.




Here's the before sprite.


I personally like the first one.

I think her torso and legs look great. Unfortunately the previous posters are correct regarding the size of her noggin'.

Her arms, as well. They make her seem masculine. Trying positioning her slightly differently so as to not exaggerate her biceps.

[SWEGDovahkiin]

I'm going for an RPG Maker VX kind of sprite, like these...

So her head is supposed to be kinda big.

As for her arms, I'll try to edit them.

[SWEGDovahkiin]

Is this better for her arms?

Matching the VX sprites is really more about proportion (and they use more colors to shade stuff and stuff). Unfortunately, the VX sprites have very wide shoulders so our friend Blake might be a bit more pronounced than what is accurate.

[SWEGDovahkiin]

Yeah, I can't shade. And i'm just using those sprites as inspiration basically.

Great edit, yaomon! I love the way you did the hair, especially.

Dovahkiin, if I may ask, do you have a specific intention for this sprite? I might have different advice depending on what you plan to use it for.

[rocifier]

Yeah there are two main problems here

- you are working too small
- you have drawn a flat 2d image, but your inspiration is 3d (well, 2.5d)

Saying you can't shade is no excuse. Google some shading tutorials. Learn about light sources and ambient occlusion. Learn!

[SWEGDovahkiin]

Sorry I've been gone. I moved computers. I really just wanted to try this for fun. No purpose really. Also, where is a good place to learn basic techniques? I'm currently using piskel if that helps.

[SWEGDovahkiin]

I made a new one completely from scratch. I tried to make her look more 3D in this one.
