That looks really off to me evileye. It looks TOO exaggerated. I mean a lil exaggeration is fine.

If u stopped the legs 2/3 way down on the green part, it'll already be what u were trying to accomplish i think

Squished the legs down. Should be nearly perfect proportions now. Don't forget the head and upper body are at angles.

I could live with the exaggeration of the first one because it doesn't say the artist doesn't know what he's doing, but it still was very striking from the go. The new one appeals to my inner constructonist much more, but as long as you're certain you want to do things one way, I wouldn't object to the original one either.

I'd personally go with a flow more like this:


(sorry for mouse edit)

which agrees with the angle of the face as implied in your previous schema more and also doesn't obstruct the back as much.

Are you keeping the yellow skin tone, btw?

Ya the yellowish skin tone I thought looked devilish, and thats what I was going for.

Well, actually the original idea was for a sorceress character, but then it turned into a female devil-like character, and now I am totally lost as to which direction I want to go.

I wanted to add wings, but every time I do they look mediocre. I'll figure out what to do eventually I suppose :blind:

The face should be looking over her shoulder. That was the original idea.

Here's where I am so far. Probably some anatomy errors :-[ And yes, I know the feet have issues.




*edit*

I decided to drop the sprite for now and start on the portrait.

reference:

I followed the reference too closely and it lost any character it might have had. I may just redo the whole thing.

no nooo I don't think it's soulless, if you give her pupils, depending on how they're lit and shaped, you'll get a LOT of different characters for her! Try it!

Well I think I found what the problem was. She needed some bangs. Swinging back to the vampiress look.



I've decided to go ahead with the pixeling now at this point.

I made this in 10m with Pivot one morning, practicing animation.  Crits are totally welcome encouraged.  It's slower than it was in Pivot tho:

just randomness.
