Aww! She's really really cute!
Good job with the face

My only concern is that the blonde's hair doesn't exactly match the sprite's.. but blonde is a hard color to edit unless you know what you're doing. :3

Good job anyways! I've always loved the maid's face from the RTP. <3

Oops! It would appear that I accidentally uploaded one of the earlier WIP versions. I've now uploaded the latest version, though you might need to refresh your browser in order to see it.

Thanks!

I like the blue chara! 'She' looks simple but kawaii.
Good job on this, though I suggest you edit the glasses, too. Maybe make it a little bit unique by changing its color or lowering its opacity...

Edit- i think you still need to fix their eye colors. the first sprite's eye is blue but the face has red???

wow, great job! though the glasses look pasted. are the glasses from the priest guy? if so, don't erase the shadows, so it looks more cool.

also, the yellow hair is kinda weird..

@ mitchi: They're the same sprite, only the first has glasses with a blue rim -which looks blue on the sprite. I guess you have to zoom in to see it, though, or remember the good old 2K RTP XD. I didn't edit the glasses because they fit the sprite colors imo. I might change the eye color to brown, though. It's a simple edit.

@fauxonym: The glasses are from the scholar (People 3-3). I didn't erase a shadow and didn't really think to add one since the RTP doesn't have it either. I'm not sure what's weird about the blond's hair.

Thanks for the feedback

I think he means the hair is weird probably because of the lack of contrast, maybe also because of the yellow bleeding into the hat rim

That's not always the case... Yes, the frame is blue, but what about the actual lenses? Are they blue too? Nope, they are transparent.

Check out the female scholar sprite again. Her eyes are kinda blue. hehe.

@Terra-chan: Ok, I'll take a look at the contrast. No color bleeding on the hat, the rim is just yellow as it is in the sprite. Though I think I'll have to add a darker outline on the hair line. Maybe it won't look so confusing then

@mitchi: To each their own, I suppose. I zoomed in on the sprites and interpreted the bottom sprite to be the same as the top sprite - minus the glasses. Due to the constraints of pixel art, things like semi-transparent don't always translate perfectly. Eyes look blue, but it's supposed to show the presence of glasses. And yea, female scholar (People 3-3) does have blue eyes, but her glasses aren't over her eyes, so I'm not sure what you mean.

oh yeah, i saw that. about the hair, maybe the color's a bit funky, i dunno a bit greenish for me. X__X and the outline is pixelly, not that smooth.

[mitchi.exe]

It's a minor thing though, but it looks weird to me...
What I'm saying here is... not all colors reflected by blue, will always be blue.
By the looks of it, if a member just looked at the sprite, they'd assume that her eye color is blue.

But I agree to what you said, that not all details can be converted into sprite-form.

[Terra-chan]

I used those glasses for a sprite and apparently the person I made the sprite for thought they were tears.

[Lunarea]

I'll do some retouching as well as some recolors later this week.

[jungsternator]

^^I really like this one. If you put the maid thingie back on her head it'd kind of look like sakuya... kind of.

*Edit- the sprite I mean lol

here, here!


I'm liking the face sets so far, excellent job

[Lunarea]

Thank you, I really appreciate all the kind responses.

I'm finding that VX's style for both painting faces and character spriting is really different than what I'm used to, so it's almost like I'm learning from the scratch again. But I'm usually fairly happy with the results and I figure if someone else can benefit from them, I might as well share them.

[Andinator]

you seem to be using the same base (not that its bad)... try something different!!!

omg she's so cute!

[Lunarea]

@Andinator: I hadn't noticed, really. I used the maid base for the first and the ice spirit for the second. They just seemed to fit the best.

@fauxonym: Thanks! I like how she turned out too.

I updated the first post with a new version of the 2k priestess. I took some of your suggestions to heart. Not sure that I'm 100% done yet, but getting there.
