New Sprite need input

[dayhjawk]

Hope I posted this in the right place.

This is my attempt at a character sprite. Let me know what you think.

V1

V2 - * made some modification

V3 - * added some contrast and tried to edit the left/right frame of the cape on one of the animations as well as changes a few colors.

V4 - *wanted the armor to stand out a little more but at the same time blend/fit.

The armor looks just a little pillow shaded, could probably benefit with 1 more color and/or more contrast. The yellow on the end of the cape is barely noticeable and, being meshed against the blue, looks somewhat green. The hair in the back frame looks kind of odd too, like it should taper off a little more toward the pony tail band. The side frame looks like they're wearing long pants that cover their feet, should probably add the line dividing pants and shoes.

Made a few changes as I was already thinking along those lines. Added some shade to the ponytail, took out the trim on the cape, and changed the pants to a blackish tint. Hopefully it looks better.

Yeah that definitely looks better, I've got to say too, I love the cape by the way

Made a few more changes to the sprite. Think maybe the animation left/right looks a bit better.

i think V2 looks better then V3

V3 actually has less contrast, I think you de-saturated it but that's not the same as adding contrast. A lot of rtp sprites these days are de-saturated, in my opinion color adds more pop although if done well some de-saturation might help the sprite look a little more realistic.

Your sprite looks like it would fit perfectly in a 2k3 game, great job!
