Something I made a while ago for a sprite-game concept.  I never took it past this character design though.  Any crits/comments are welcome.  This is my first submission to this site and I'd like to learn some tips/tricks from the masters here.

What do you think?

This is nice. The girl needs some more hips! Use of illustrative style black outlines is cool. The way you shade in the forms is interesting, the sword metal is very well done.

Whole thing is so unpolished/rough. Right arms different lengths. Feet misshapen. The snow boots and spiked gloves in no way match the bikini, making the outfit look like boots, gloves and underwear. Sword's blade vent isn't centered, it's hilt handguards aren't symmetrical. Skin shading should be smoother, not jaggy.

I really love this kinda style, makes me think of oldschool games~ Great job, especially loving her face, midsection and sword~

She is hot..Maybe because she is burning.

The colors are burning, and not of my liking. But fantastic piece in all other ways.

I like this - a lot :D

the face is the best part IMO, athough I think, that it does need some position adjustment ( the head that is) some slight shift to (our) right would fix that I guess.

Nice. I love the sword, and the varying line width is something I don't see much in pixel art, it looks great.

I don't claim to be anything close to an expert on anatomy, but her legs seem a bit thick and long. It might be the boots throwing me off on the thickness, but either way they do seem a bit long. Am I crazy? Edit: Actually, I think I'm just crazy.

Stitchy: Yeah, I know what you mean about that leg angle.  I went over it a couple times.  Thanks for the edit, appreciate it.

All:  Great feedback, thanks.

Great piece! Usually I'm not a fan of this kind of outlines, but I fell in love with the face immediately.

Just some nitpicking: Hands are a bit odd. Especially the swordholding one. The sword doesn't seem to be in the right position. Also I cant' really figure out what's happening in the wrist area. Her abdomen under the boobs looks also a bit empty. Maybe some harder shadows under the breast or a bit more descending breasts would do the trick. Oh and there are some colors you could have saved.

But anyway, an awsome drawing. And damn, a really sweet face.

Looks amazing. Skin is always in.

Seriously, good job. With a first submission like this you'll be one of the masters in no time.

Slightly oekaki-ish, but hey. Nice style and quite well done for such a large piece. Though, I don't think I would ever want to battle in a bikini. My guts would go flying like that in a flash. D: I like those earrings, though.

I would seriously look at her legs, just like Bob said. They don't work for the way her upper body is positioned. As far as anatomy, they are a little log-like. The leg should taper in a little more near her knees, especially. The upper parts of her legs seem a little long compared to her lower parts, too. So, you could probably just shorten the upper parts of her legs a little and get away with it. Hope all this helps. c:

This leg position might work better? I'm no expert, but I tried.:

very stylish, very nice. I would look at the proportions on her legs though, they are quite long and disproportionate

Quite awesome. I think the only thing you could tweak would be the browns on the boots and gloves. It's really dark, while all the other colors seem to have more contrast, or are at least more vibrant.

Nice job though. ;)

That's a really neat style. I love  the shading you used on the person. The dirty effect on the sword is great. Perhaps you should AA and then it'd be great.
