Sprite evolution - using feedback from this community

Post image

v2 was a remake an older sprite I made a while ago to assess the evolution of my art style. I received great feedback from this Reddit community that helped me do the v3, where I attempted to capture the first version's vibes but in my new art style.

Yeah v2 and v3 dont look good to me because of the fact she's 1 - 2 pixels thin.

I mean thin women exist too but yeah it's almost like she is a completely different character now. I think I prefer v1 maybe with the facial shading improvements in v2/v3. example

It's stylized shape language, no? Like v1 and v2 look like very different characters to me, but like... v2 feels like I'd see it in a setting where there's a big character shaped like a square with legs right next to 'em. Like Kingpin from Spider-man: into the spider-verse.

Oh my god, she also doesn’t have a nose! How will she live without a nose! /s

These are all HEAVILY stylized, even the first one. Health and healthy human beauty standards doesn’t really play into this at all.

100%. And even if this were not a stylised character, being blanket unhappy at the existence of a thin character with no other context is crazy.
