Started this yesterday, I rather like how it came out for the most part. Just a character I made a while back, Celestia Rozada.

For the sprite, I used the following:
-Viola's body
-Franzy's arm
-Lotta's face
-Ema's eyes/skin palette

Yeah, any helpful criticism is welcomed. My first time spriting PW-style. I do like how it came out for the most part, but I don't think I did the hair right; I'd like tips on how to correctly shade hair in PW style. And she's blind, that's why her eyes are gray with no pupils. >_>

I like it!! I think you did a good job! Cookie for you! :D *puts a cookie on your head*

A few things, it looks like her arm ends a little short, perhaps you could extend it a little bit more. As for the hair, just think of the depth of the hair, layering and the light source. It looks like the light source is in front of the sprite, while the hair seems to have varying light sources. If at all possible, try sketching the head/hair at different angles to help yourself out with the depth! I have the most trouble with hair too. So just keep at it! n_n-b

Aw, thanks! ^^

I'm sorry, I don't quite get what you mean by her arm ending short. It's the same arm (Franziska's) on both sides, but I kind of had to mesh it with Viola's shoulders.
And I see what you mean with the light sources. I suppose I was trying to make it from the top-left, but didn't notice it when [s]recolouring[/s] editing Viola's clothing. I'll have to try that.

I'll try that with the hair, though I'm not too good at drawing. I had to draw it on paper first then just try to re-create it as best I could in Paint. >_>

nice!!! i could totally see her in the next GS game ^^

I know, I'm awful at hair. -_-


I think what I did wrong was, ironically, trying to improve upon Lotta's shading. I thought her features were too defined and looked unnatural, and tried to make it look more natural. >_<


The shoulder I was lazy with. I didn't want to blend Franziska's arm with Viola's shoulder and tried using a strap to cover it. Lazy me.


Gah, I just recoloured Franziska's arm there. Should have edited it to match the light.


...wow, I didn't even notice that. O_o


:D

Anyway, new stuff!
If you look in my topic in Hazakurain, you'll notice I offered to make the cover for Franzy's Whip Lash Splash (is there an "Attack" after Splash?). I don't have time to do it all in one night, so I'll do it in bits. First off, Franzy herself.



Please note that I'm going for cuteness over realism. Hence the basketball head, the Powerpuff Girl hands, etc.
It's all 100% custom, unless you count the palette and me cheating by recreating Franziska's hair from her sprites. >_>

I absolutely hate the whip. D:

Awesome! I can't wait to see the porcupine and the scruffy dog!!
