I wanted to give her hair, because i hate the fact that she looks bald. This is the result.

Your probably thinking; "The arms blend with the hair, why would you make them both brown." BUT the shading i did esperates the arms from the hair. It looks good ingame, I tested it.

Brown hair is normally what she's depicted as having, but ordinarily in fanart it's short brown hair like her brother and father. Not sure how one would display that though...

Why thank you. =)
I decided to entertain the idea of her with short hair. I also resized her breasts to moreso feminize her.

Lol that's what I thought, the 'her hiding long brown hair' thing. She's not exactly masculine, so why wouldn't she hide it for battle so it doesn't get in her way or something?
And I agree, she looks bad with short hair.

The short hair is kind of cool. I definitely like the long haired version as a sprite. I don't like her huge boobs it makes her look fat.

Haha, it does!
I was considering giving her the long hair, with the hood down, but then it would more izlude-ish, less meliadoul-ish

I looked at your Monica sprite, the only issue of implementing that hair would be that it would cut off Meliadoul's eyes, and prolly wouldn't work well with her hood up.
If you want, I could make one with Monica's hair, just for you.

nah 
theres no place for it ive exceeded the sprite limit in my patch. i have a bit of a fondness for that hairstyle for some reason, but it was how i pictured her hair had she not kept the hood over her head. the idea you have is nice as well

You're lucky, I use WOTL so I don't get to use the sprite sheet reassignment thing. =\
I'm almost done, I changed the armour on her arms back, which is now brown. It didn't look right after using the fleshtone/black gloves idea.
Her hair tends to blend in with her arms now, but it's not too bad.

Interesting idea all around. I agree with Cheetah though; short is interesting though I like the long better...and that edit to the body makes her look wrong. Not feminine but more like she has HUGE pectorals instead of boobs at all.

If I were to do this, I'd give her short hair, keep the hood up, and keep her... chest size the way it was.
I never viewed her as feminine. Tomboy, if anything.

Are those the normal sprites for her down-facing direction? I never noticed how manly her arms looked like that.

It's because it's SUPPOSED to be armor, I changed it back to armor. Don't fret about her chest, it's the original size still.

I agree, if you're going to take the armor off her shoulders and upper arms, you'll need a better edit than that.
EDIT: Ah, back to the old armor, then.
I really like the short hair portrait, btw. I can see why you wanted to increase the boob size on the sprite, though; the hair looks rather manly there. I'd move the part about a pixel to the left (her left), and make the right side bit more.. buoyant? Poofier? I don't know hair styling lingo, but the idea would be to make it more uneven to dispell the current bowl cut look.

Lol, idk if you know, but I ditched the short hair look. Might go back to it later, but for now, I'm sticking with the long hair. And thanks for understanding my idea with increasing her chest. It was becuase of the short hair, she looked like a guy. =\
And I like the short hair portrait too, lol.
-EDIT- = Finished! =D

Lol. That's impressive, Verdeni ^^
Keep it up.
By the way, have you tried putting her hood down and showing off her long hair?
Lol ^^
Just a thought.

I'd also shave a few pixels off her side view at the midriff. That frame is the one that makes her look fat.
Also, if you're going with long hair, maybe she would keep it in a ponytail or just bound in back?

UPDATE
I gave her two new colors.
Pink + Yellow. Give her some feminine edge.

I was thinking light purple would look good, but I wanted to give her colors none of the other Knights had.
Cletienne = Grey
Vormav = Purple
Izlude = Green
Wiegraf = Red
Loffrey = Blue
Barich = Black
So why wouldn't Meliadoul be pink or a yellow? colors that none of the others have?

I opened those expecting some kind of eyesore and was pleasantly surprised. I even liked the yellow and that's a color I generally don't care for at all. Good selections.

My only critique would be the yellow is a very odd shade of yellow IMO. It's like baby poop yellow or something. But perhaps a brighter yellow would look even more out of place in the FFT world. Regardless, I like the idea you have here.
