This is looking very very good as always. I wonder if the damaged frame is too wide with the braid though?

Hmm, the shading on her head on the back frames might need a little bit of work. I'm thinking white hair requires stylistically different shading; cause that dark shadow in the middle looks a little blobby right now.

Really awesome, but yeah I don't like the hair's shading either.

What a mess trying to make a sprite of Lenneth with only 16 colors.

ahhh the art of spriting with a 16 color limit lol...

I lol'd.


4 skin tones, a nice dark grey/brown and a black, and 3 pairs of color tones should be all you need at most, making a total of 12 colors for sprites alone. Try it.

And about the damaged frame, shouldn't her eyes close rather than open widely?

Damn, Smash is right. I lowered the number of colors to 12 in GG... Note: Do not use, I didn't even bother to select the colors manually like Smash suggested; it's just a demo.

Yeah, it is usually on sprites, but for example Balthier had opened eyes too. I wamted to make it looks so, she is a god, so she shouldn't give up when a bit damaged .

Well, about the hair shading, I presume you mean the back frames? It is all from Knight sprite, so I didn't think it will look bad, what do you all suggest? Heh, it has 16 colors on palette, but there are probably some leftovers from base. I wasn't messing with this, cause I thought it doesn't need more colors. For what those 4 colors could be used?

Hmm...Is it? Well, to me, it just looks kinda funny, been hit while the eyes wide open xD

You probably can't lighten that dark shade, right? That would be the quick and easy (though technically inefficient) fix. Consider making that dark shadow smaller, perhaps? And by the way, since the bottom of the braid is the same color and length as the skirt, it might be hard to tell what's what. Keep up the good work.

No prob, I can lghten it, but making it smaller won't work, tried it already, it makes it look weird. Hm, I get what you are telling about braid, but how may I fix it? Aeris braid is even longer and bigger :/

Here are your geeeef(t)s:

Heh, thanks, like I wrote it in PM, I checked it in-game, sorry for teh trouble, pal. Time to fix the hair and legs + time to add braid.

It's more of a color issue than anything else: white skirt with white hair--it's a little tough on the eyes. It's not a big issue, see what other members think and work from there.  

On the walking frames her left leg gets a little too much shadow on both views.

Yeah, I even made the braid a bit outlined to differ it from skirt, looks like it didn't worked, heh. About the leg, you mean it too dark there? It is just a recolor .

Hah, well if it's a recolor, then I guess we'll let it slide. Animated frames catch me really off guard, cause I'm more used to seeing animation coupled with movement.

I was thinking about braid, and need to ask, would you guys want to see braid on forward walking frames too? I ask cause it is somewhat hard to implement well, and it would look strange anyway, since it would bounce more than hair itself. Well?

kage one important thing to note about the back frame of miluda

her hair was never redone to sway both directions and so in the walking frames it goes back as if there were still a cape underneath pushing it back instead of making it sway.... just thought id point that out

Lol, now that you pointed that out, zozma, I can't get my eyes off this.  Though it is not such a big mistake, and is not worth reworking of hair(it would be a pain...).

This is what you need.
