As for the sprite, the overuse of black lines really makes it bad, and the lack of shading contributes to she looking really flat. I didn't really want to add a lot of shading or extra colours due to the style. I was imitating the NES-style Mega Man graphics, and there's really not a lot of sprites with shading in those games. Most enemies (even the Robot Masters) usually stick with a few body colours and that's it. With that being said, after taking a look I agree with your opinion of the black lines. It does sort of feel overly "outlined", so I'll try going back and removing lines, putting colours next to one another (like where her shirt sleeves are).

Aside from that, she appears misbalanced in the Nidoqueen version. Flip the sprite to help you notice the balance problems. ... I would have never thought to flip it. Thanks.

As for her casual sprite, her left breast seems bigger than her right, and there are a lot of straight lines and banding due to the aforementioned black outlining. I really didn't know how to cover her, erm, chest. I guess I was trying to keep things consistent across her rotations, seeing as how in the front frame it's about that size. Wait... should the chest be -smaller- in the front frames seeing as how it's facing the camera instead of being shown from the side?

also black lines were just covered so I'll skip a second round if it's okay with you guys

Also why does she lack a mouth? Originally she did have a mouth, but after fixing her hair up a bit I played around with using the simple "line eyes" instead of the Mega Man styled face. It looked nice, so I just stuck with it from there. To be honest a lack of a mouth never really bothered me until you pointed it out just now. I'd like some thoughts over this if you don't mind.
