Works in progress

[dwib]

no celdia is right. perhaps extending the dark color used on her dress to show separation between the legs would make a tighter-looking, younger outfit rather than a baggy granny gown.
the back views look pretty good imo

[SentinalBlade]

back view is great. looks like the back of the wizard, but narrowed up a bit.

[Cheetah]

Every good start and I would definitely take most of the advice given so far. She is a little plain looking though and needs something else going on. I would recommend throwing some purple in there, either a belt or some designs.

[Srekciv]

Thanks for the tips, here's what I've done with them.
[Edit:] top one is most recent.

[Celdia]

Better. I like the change to the back particularly though I can't say why...the pattern on the front helps a lot though.

[SentinalBlade]

The pattern on the front feels to native american.... the back just looks awesome. you did a great job on that bottom right one.
Did you bring her chest up any? it doesnt seem they got bigger...hmm...

I would use a purple from the hair for a design on the front. white and purple mix relativly well iwth one of the shades from her head.

[Celdia]

SB, look closely at the difference on the second sprite (forward-diagonal). Its a little different.

[SentinalBlade]

yeap, i got it thanks celdia

[dwib]

straight forward sprite still looks grandma-ish but the others looks awesome. straight forward isn't used as often as most anyway though

[Cheetah]

Great progress. I actually like the front design idea. Both designs are fine, it is more that I like having a design on the front and leaving the back alone. The back view in general gets a bit cluttered with the design, in addition to what I think you are trying to do to make the butt more defined. Try having the design be purple, I think you have plenty of colors to try it.

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, I might use this sprite for the female Invoker if you don't mind of course.

[Srekciv]

Of course LastingDawn I'd be flattered. She's supposed to be a magic user.
Tried with a little purple.

[Celdia]

The purple works. Makes the back look more like a design and less like a lighting thing. I'm curious to see how the front will look for the walking frames though.

[Srekciv]

yeah I haven't tried putting the design on the walking frames yet.

[Cheetah]

I would recommend lightening up the purple a bit. I like the simpler back design as well, lower it one pixel though. This is a very unique sprite, I'm loving it. My only final concern is the rear-side view compared to the rear view. That line around the waste on the rear-side view doesn't really seem to carry over to the rear view or any other view really. It seems like you need to make the rear-side view look like it is a continuous dress like the other frames, while maintaining the slender shape of the character's body.

[BeoulveBlack]

pretty cool. i guess i should get back to work myself

[SentinalBlade]

Either lightne the purple, or darken the brown, the brown is a bit contrasting for it. You might end up doing both.

I really like how that purple design will look a bit lighter. your doing a great job.

Also, i like the back, but Celdia is right. to much lighting/shading not enough design flow.

[Zozma]

i sort of liked the white design better than the purple one really..

you might have extra colors but ive made sprites before like bolmna, that dont use all 16 colors...

[Kokojo]

She looks quite awesome. I think i may use it too...

[AngrySurprisedFace]

Of course LastingDawn I'd be flattered. She's supposed to be a magic user.
Tried with a little purple.

I'm loving the new racial sprite.

Very nice.
