Skirt---->pillowshading. Besides that, lovely, one of my favorite characters, thank you ^-^

Edit: Corrected ^-^'

LOVELY, bud. Not 'lvoely'

Well, onto the sprites... It animates well, but that's because you edited it. Sprite editing is a good way to practice, but it's not always the best way to make good sprites. Most people likes custom work, because it looks authentic and stuff.

As JosephSeraph said, the skirt looks pillowshaded and not in style: you could increase the skirt's contrast and reshade it.
The portrait's hair is jagged compared to the original ones, and her eyebrows should be more like them.

Yeah I know I needed to redo the skirt/sundress, when I realized it, it was a bit far into it and I knew if I redid them I would get lazy and bored and end up not doing the sprites at all. But what exactly do you mean by the hair? Do you mean the lines in her giant bang or the hair line? [strikeout]And what's wrog with the eyebrows? They don't look like the base I used you mean?[/strikeout]

Edit: Oh yeah I see what you mean with the eyebrows.

yeah, you need to antialiase the eyebrows so it looks more like the official ones.

and her (weird) hair should be smoother, principally the pointy parts.

Okay I messed with the small sprites' pallet and shading. They look less pillowy, and I think it's good but I've been wrong.

These on the left are my preference those on the right are earlier redos that I don't really like.


I also smoothed out the hair points on the portrait and made the eyebrows Erika's.


I think that the hair looks pretty accurate to the official art and other than those points i don't think there's much else to buffer.

btw Thanks for your comments, they're making me not be lazy.

Edit: Since I'm not getting nothing I'll probably continue the shading with my best judgement and went I get something done I'll all ask for a bump so I don't double post.
