It looks alright the only thing i see wrong is it looks like shes standing like shes about to piss herself and her nipples are erect
 
woops, the legs were an error, there wasn't meant to be a white line. How would i go about fixing the nipples?

Give me a sec to upload fixed version
 
Well the first thing I would suggest to you is ditch the Full Kaizers . They're fugly, and no one really uses them anymore. That, and the HK's are much smaller (Making them easier to spite with) And far more versatile . Here's the development topic : http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=418
Other than that .there are a few things wrong with the sprite.

The palette is good with contrast, but I believe the darkest colors are a little too dark. they almost look like black. You placed the clothes on the sprite pretty decently, that is they look round instead of flat. Just don't forget to round off the sleeves. You need to work on the shoes a bit. They look like they only cover the front portion of her feet. Kind of like slippers. If that was your intention, never mind. Otherwise though, you might want to consider a change.

As stated before you have good contrast in the shading, but your directional lighting and shadowing could use work. Some of the shadowing throws off the figure. This is most apparent in the chest area and the shading in between the legs. On the chest, Try recoloring the shading on the skin, then once thats done, cover the cleavage line with the lightest red. It should look more like a female chest then. As for the pants, try shading it to make it look like the light is hitting her from above . Right now it looks like the light is hitting her at both sides, giving her a bow legged appearance.

If this is your first sprite it's not too bad. Just keep practicing, but I highly recommend the HK's against the full ones =)
 
ok, the only reason i started on full kaizer was the tilesets, do the kaizer tilesets also work well with half kaizer?

The shoes are meant to look like that


What direction is the light meant to come from, i think thats why i had a lot of trouble with it

what full kaizer tilesets are you using?

The top, as if the sun is beaming directly down on it. It's easier to sprite that way.
 
ok, thanks

I updated the first post with a half kaizer version

Can someone give me some tips for the hair please?


EDIT: I've ran into a problem with the shoes on the second row. The don't look right and im not sure how i go about fixing it
 
Tana has a hair tutorial that should help you. You seem to be pillow shading from what I can see but the color choice you have here is pretty good. Most people go too saturated the first time they sprite. You might want to pick a light source and shade from there. Pillow shading is shading from the outline dark to light in the center. That's not how things look in normal lighting. But I must say good job you remembered to place a shadow on the skin. A lot of people forget this. :D Glad you added that. But remeber the skin shadow falls on the arms from the sleeves too. Also the head one looks a bit funny but I'm sure once you play with the hair it'll blend a bit better.
 
Her forehead is very big. Try to lower her hair 2 pixels, so something of her forehead is covered.

In v2 it looks, like she's pregnant :)

But nevertheless, for a first attempt she isn't too bad.
