So far so good! Glad to see you back spriting again.

My only point of feedback would be the perspective of the back arm and the legs. The torso is rotated forward, but the lower body not to that extend. Rotating the lower body a bit more forward also allows you to space the legs further apart maybe, leading to a more clear silhoutte.

Early, but due to leaving current job (3rd shift) and going to bed at a decent hour (3 AM instead of 8 AM, allowing me to get up at 9-10 AM instead of 5 PM), I was able to do another stream~ This one worked on sleeves and skirt, though the sleeves are...a pain. I may have to ask for assistance in fixing things up once all is fully done, if anyone is willing to help with that. ^^;;

By that, do you mean the legs?? Or the abdomen area?

Only spent an hour this time. However, made progress on the legs (which wasn't that hard), but the main thing was readjusting the length of both skirts (the main one would've been TOO short, the peacock one needed to be longer to be below the kneecaps, which it wasn't originally) and then finishing the inside portion of the peacock skirt. Still need to readjust the left sleeve though to be longer.

Also readjusted the right horn's width as well as the dress top cleavage area to better fit the image. At that point now where I may need help with doing the details now!

Again, only an hour work this time. Mostly fixing the left sleeve to be of the right length, and trying to fix the curvature of the peacock skirt. Also added details to the dress top, thanks to Mochu for the help with all of that! Also tried to get the ear drawn out, which...ears are hard without references! I'll have to find a sprite with a good ear reference that's not covered up! Oh, and also fixed the right side of the peacock skirt, which I didn't realize was part of it! Oops!

Debating on posting this, since I'm sure people are tired of seeing me post so often ^^;; But finished the skirt outright I think! Thing is a butt...and also tried to get the rose to work. I took a couple roses from Rachel's sprite and downsized them, and I know they look awful, but I'm also not sure how to do roses??

if you needed to make it smaller maybe Dudley's rose would also work since it should be smaller I imagine, or maybe Vega's from SFA would help

...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF HOW DID I FORGET VEGA AND DUDLEY!? I...AHHHHHH!!!! lol I literally never even thought of them, probably because they weren't Blazblue style, but their roses would probably still work just as well! Do they have multiple angles to work with too? That's another thing that might be hard to do is the different angles (I'm also not entirely sure if the ones on the right side of the body would be seen??)

Also might change the feet/leg positions after all, because someone in Faunacord brought up how uncomfortable that is, and I tried to stand that way myself. Yeah, it's uh...definitely really hard on the knees! Which is blargh because like...I already had everything done for the legs too T-T

I don't think they have many angles but maybe you can just find some pictures online and downsize them like this? you can always clean them up a little more afterwards but they may work for you, if you need them.

Ah, much obliged! That should help with the roses on the left side~

Been a while! Forgot to post this sprite a while back I think ^^;

So, Hexioum helped fix the sprite up quite a bit, and I haven't touched up on it in about a month. Got back to it finally, been working on shading which isn't my forte. I was using Litch and Celica as references, but moved to Es since Es' design seems to be close enough to Fauna's design.



So most of the shading work has been around the chest area, the legs, and the left arm area. Any advice on this? This is pretty much nearly done at this point, and would like to finish this up so I can potentially move onto the next sprite (when motivation strikes lol). Unless anyone wants to try and do the shading, up to you.

Overall, the touch-ups were very much appreciated since the one I was doing I was just stuck forever fixing stuff. This was after changing the leg pose as well.

Getting there! Any feedback on the shading? Or anyone willing to help finish it up lol? So I can be finished with this thing x_x

I like the legs pose more in the new version, the edits you guys did do the job.
As for the shading, the hands and the legs look kind of different, don't you think? Check the colours, especially the outline tone you used for the hands and the legs. The feet also look less detailed than the hands, but it might be a stylistic choice.

Yeah, the feet hasn't been touched that much at all. Smaller details like that and with the symbols on the dress itself are going to be done later if I decide to do it.

Yeah, I'm not exactly good at shading, so I'm not sure what I'm really doing lol. I'm assuming the left leg shading should be more...slimmed??

My biggest issue is figuring out how to shade the white parts of the peacock dress. That's the last thing really left to do I feel other than fixing other shading issues. I might just omit the symbols lol

Mmm...I think for my own sanity, this might be as far as I go with the Fauna sprite. I know I'm missing some shading and some very little details, but need to be done with this at some point, and I think this might be a good enough spot. Not PERFECT, but with my OCD, it'd never be done lol. If anyone wants to touch up on shading, that's up to you.

For the time being, debating on what might be the next spriting project. Still going to be more Hololive folks, but the ones I have in mind are either Lamy, Coco, or Mumei. Mumei might be the easiest to do out of the batch, but not sure. Meanwhile, think Coco might be the hardest...
