[WIP] Custom Style Woman - Need Help

[Azgardes]

I'm new here. I've heard from a reliable source that this is the place to get excellent C+C, which is what I need. I was trying to sprite a woman, because I never have, and I ran into trouble. I got the head looking right, the upper torso looked okay, the arms were decent, except the legs. The legs were a bitch. I can't get them to look right. I would like her to have shorts or a skirt or something on, but I had to make her have jeans cause the legs were such a pain. Help please. I need some C+C to get these legs right.




The pose on the right is the one I'm going for.

There's the heads, I couldn't get them to look right when shaded either...

Also, the boobs look kinda off. Anyone know how to make them look... right?

NOTES: She'll be holding a sword in her (our left) right hand, and a gun in the other.

Lawl, awesome. Except the woman still sucks...

Nice edit Smiker! This piece needs more contrast though Azgardes, I liked that blue outfit she had, since she's probably out being all action hero, she probably wouldn't wear a dress. If you do keep the dress, make sure the wind effects that too.

Here you go. Take what you will from it.

I think your sprite overall is very nice and cute.

I'm sure someone else could do a much better job with the hair than what I've done with it.
As for your question on boobs, you have to first make a solid decision on the size and shape. Once you've got that down, try to transfer what you want onto the pixel-drawing board. I gave your sprite average ones.
The trick to making breasts look natural is to think of them as extensions of the chest rather than two objects stuck on the chest.

Thanks a lot Ryona. That helped a lot.
