Lunarea's sprites

That is just SO nice. The only thing that's bothering me is right leg. It's the same color as the shoe is. Got to love the hair!
 
Thank you :)

She's actually barefoot, but her right leg has a bracelet around the ankle. It might not be too obvious, though, so I might fiddle around with it a little more.

Hair's my favorite part too. I hope I did it justice!
 
It is kind of obvious, this is a NatGeo kind of person. I like it, it's very very well managed, and the ankle thingy is just marvelous
 
You definately did it justice... actually, you're putting the word justice to a shame xD

If you want to make it look more like a bracelet, maybe you should use a different color, a bit more gray probably.
 
Gray? As far as I've seen, tribes wear mostly golden things, and in so visual places it's always gold...

I've never seen a graish ankle bracelet... just jail's...
 
@ J.D. and Venetia:
Thanks bunches! I think you're both a lot more talented at spriting than I am, so it's definitely an honor to read that you liked my sprite.

I will eventually get around to doing all 4 sides and animating the first sprite, but I've also got a few other character designs I'm just itching to put into pixel form.

I'll update the thread with more of my work as I complete it.
 
Wow, I love the detail you managed to insert into those. I can barely sprite myself, so I can't really find any criticisms here at the moment. . . D:
 
I can't fully check that out on this comp, but from what I see, I see only 2 shades in the hair.
Check out this Hair tutorial by Tana, she puts it better (and quicker) than I can:

It seems to me that the outline is solid, it just needs some refined shading. Oh, and the grey pants need another color or two (light & dark or just one, depending upon how flat the pattern is).

Your outlines are FANTASTIC, though. Keep it up :'D

Very cool; very very cool. Make 'er animated and you got yourself a world-class sprite, there!

yes yes animate them. I'm curious to see if you'll pull it off ;p that'll be the divider between good and great here.
 
@ Reives:
Thanks! I had to compromise for some of the detail, but it was much easier to add subtle little things than it is with RTP sprites.

@Venetia:
I actually used 6 colors for the hair, but I think my values might be too close together. I've upped the contrast and brightness to show the shading:

It's still not ideal shading on the hair, as I'd like to add more texture and whatnot, but I'm getting there (I hope!).

The gray pants are actually semi-transparent stockings, so they should show the natural shading of the skin, but I will go in and manually add some shadows for where the tattered skirt falls.

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I'll be sure to follow it a little more closely when it comes to hair :)

@Mascarpone:
I'll work on it, then. Thanks! :)

@The Creator:
If I can sprite a bird effectively that's that tiny, I will! :)
 
Awesome. I'm seeing a loot of groovy HK sprites lately. As for the hair. You probably don't have to use 6 colors. I find that less is more on sprites unless you need the additional colors for shiney highlights. But it does look btter with the new contrast. I really like the outfit she's wearing, though I think the upper curve of the bill on the hat is a little shakey.

These are gonna be great once they're finished ^^ I need to get back to making some HK's myself ^^
 
@Showkaiser:
Wow, thank you! :*)
I changed the hat slightly, making it a little more rounded and the cap a little wider:

@Draken:
Thank you :)
