I'm leaning towards 1, maybe 3

better?

and about the skid, she's gonna be running pretty fast in the game, kicking up dirt etc, so the skid should be a bit excessive.
but what exactly did you have in mind for toning it down, faceless?

Better! Now she has eyelashes :]

Proportion-wise, I'm already happy, it's just about astyle, isn't it?

mmm, I'm rather happy with her stationary frame, but she beefs up quite a bit when she moves :P

can we see her in comparison with the main character? all 4 of those last edits look fine but you'll want a style that matches me thinks.
thanks Dogmeat!

The characters get kinda lost in the background there.

Yeah, that's kinda what happens when you put bright pastel-tinted characters in a pastel-tinted world.

As a solution to that, I'd suggest avoiding pure black outlines on anything that isn't a sprite, since toning down the bright pastel world would kill it.

OR you do nothing and let animation tell the viewer what is something which you can interact with, and what isn't.

I would suggest making the elephant-man a bit brighter though.

(I like it that you have the author's blessing for this project. It makes it all seem extra-cute, heh <3)

It's all pretty clear in-game.

You really have to play the game to see how the characters pop out, there is so much freakin' parallax going on that it's easy to tell where the player is, at most times. Personally, i like number 3 the best, while the one in the screenshot seems to have a face that fits in better with the main character.

Really sweet picture!
I agree with Jad about black outlines, maybe keep him only for characters ( that for him very important, but not for all)? For other give dark blue outlines from you palette. And maybe lower bright on green, but not on foreground? Give more readability for persons at the expense of surrounding atmosphere. This image have few correction, just see, maybe it's help.

And I think grass need some little texture, something like on stoun wall, or just small bush.
