Well... I have something to say but you may don't like it. If you don't want to be angry, please ignore the rest of this post
I think you should delete her arms and legs and do it over. As a pixel artist sometimes I get better results after scrapping the old to create a new. The major problem with your sprite is you didn't plan the pose, and sometimes it can ruin the whole thing.
Pick a photo with a nice pose to be your reference. Then do a 'stick figure' with this pose. Be sure to mark the elbows and such. Then start to "fill" this stick figure with your sprite... That should do the trick. I myself call this one "skeleton technique" ;p

This is good advice.

Looks a bit better then before. But her crotch bugs me, It still looks like a penis.
Wait... November 1st? What the hell is going on between now and then?

Of course you dont, who would? However, if you would like it to look better, that advice is the best you could hear.
RE: Curly <3 - CeeY - 09-24-2008
I already redid her anyway, also I fixed the private area, and made it look right, here is the update,

Anyway I don't know what else to say, her boobs are meant to be shiny, Her hips are big, and what did you mean by package? Also I fixed the orange blob on her face,

RE: Curly <3 - LeleleleMAXIMUM - 09-26-2008
He means it looks like she has a set of testicles along with one penis.
And that her breasts look like waterbaloons stuck to her chest, aka they look fake.
Also, the whole "hands behind my back" thing is only done by seven-year-olds who don't want to draw hands (I know, since I did this a lot when I was at that age).
And I'm no CS expert, but isn't she supposed to be some android? Therefore, yeah, she needs a paler complexion.
No offense, but the only part I like about this are her knees. You really should consider redoing her thigh+feet and her arms.
RE: Curly <3 - -Dark- - 09-26-2008
Yeah...i agree with buttbutt on the skin tone. I mean, her skin is white according to cave story
it kinda gives her that androidish look
RE: Curly <3 - Alpha Six - 09-26-2008
i didn't realize chad was the whole love krew
RE: Curly <3 - CeeY - 09-26-2008
I wanted her to look human, but yes I made an android version too, here is the update, and tommarow I will see what I can fix, yes the legs look weird, but I don't quite yet understand the issue with the private, and the boobs, and I will sprite hands, I wanted them out of the way for a while, update,

RE: Curly <3 - LilGrim1991 - 09-27-2008
Okay, your on the right track, but keep doing what you were doing with the prev. skin tone, have some hue-shifting on the darker shades, and make the lightest one less saturated, it looks too blue.
(But damn, dude, you really taking this advice well, and fast too, your gonna be an awesome spriter)
