I do not mind if you tinker with my pixels as I know they need it. XD


vs ?
Giraffe Shirt...need to work on shading and making the outline less bold!


Sailor Dress/Other Dress...Gotta work on that shape. Suggestions? Design needs to be upgraded.


I found these from 2009 in my Mene album.
I might redesign the red outfit and of course touch all of them up!
(And make male versions haha)
What do you think?


Finished Works (There's nothing in here lol)X

.

Giraffe shirt:
I love the giraffe its adorable. And most of the shirt seems to flow really nicely. My main suggestion though is to work on the shoulder shading to make it seem rounder. And I agree with the outline needing some editing.

Sailor Dress:
Look at some dresses for reference to get where the shading might be for whatever shape you want. Even though its a white dress you need to get some grays in there for shading. The small shaded spot doesn't do it justice, it still seems really flat on the bottom.

Other Dress: ACtually seems pretty good. please ask someone else. xD

Red outfit:
i adore the boots. And i think the bottom has a shiny almost silky? look. though i think i may be thinking of the wrong cloth. But the top is off to me somehow, and I can't quite place what it is. Perhaps a lighter highlight on the upper portion of each scale, instead of trying to take it back to dark? I'd look at some armor images, maybe it shows what you need. no idea what to tell you on the feather.

Yellow outfit:
Hat is cute. jacket is cute. not much advice here. Maybe just a little around the boob on the right. Seems a little to dark?

Biker jacket:
just plain love it :D

ended up not liking it very much..haha it seems to ..plastic-y.


anyway i decided to work on a uniform jacket.. will make a male version + different colors to...
just the lines right now. i also did some stockings that have a pattern on one side only. should i add the other side? hm...

For the starter stages of them, they seem rather nice. I'd love to see them further along. As for the stockings. try shading in with some grey to give the leg shape, and see what happens. May turn out to be really cute only partially patterned.
also: the pattern right on the foot will be more angled towards the outside, and not straight down the center like that. It gives the illusion that the foot is shaped funny.

I kind of fixed the pants a little. Decided to not let them droop on one side and let it be even.
Tried to make the boxers show because well, I feel like chain pants would be heavy..haha.
I wonder if I should take away the cuffs and just make them regular seamed pants? Hm.


Here are simple tube tops! Dunno what else to do with them. Perhaps add a design or maybe, ruffles? O:
do not add anything to the tube tops!! :D something simple like that is what i need for outfits.

And for chain pants: Awesoe sauce. love them. something slightly off about shading, but can't place my finger on it.

What do you think...I also replaced the colors with Sage and Toffee.


And I branched from the tube top to make a Yumeh tank top. XD I wonder if I can put NPCs on them..


Hm... Mr. Mayor? XDDD


Edit: Oooh I need to fix the shading at the bottom of this shirt. XD;;Random line.
I LOVE THE SHIRTS -end critique on these ones-

Socks? I wonder how that'd be...Maybe NPC themed clothes? XD Like palettes or something.
Hahahahaha Team Mayor. -would be on that team-


@Rainbow
I kinda get what you're saying. O: Do you mean like this??

Hmm not sure what direction to go on how to shade the sleeves though. >< -stares at Mene's items for help- haha

@Star2000shadow
Thanks!! ><


If you guys have anything you'd like me to try and pixel, I will try to do something similar...

I started to work on a clique tutu thing...skirt idk as well.
I haven't finished shading, but the concept is there.
Should I make the design more complicateddd or should I leave it simple like this? Hmm.



I was thinking about adding some kind of design..but I'm not sure yet.
Edit: Actually, looking at it now, it kinda seems plastic-y. Perhaps I should change the highlights?
tutu i actually kind of like? What has the world come to. I think maybe its the fact that its not so frilly fufu -puke- and just has the shape that's flowy and nice. Yes, still needs more shading. :D
