well there's also the pace of the game that matters and the context of the screen resolution/size they're for. Is that a sprite for a tactical strategy game? At first glance I thought it was a insect. Reasonable clothing is completely fine for that case, but if you resprite her for Doom you're going to have to exaggerate something about her to make her seen better. This was a problem for many "Female ooom!!!" skins because the players appeared very thin and looked more like sliding foosball players. A wider posture and shape would have worked better


Also not sexualization, but a plain cloak for the back can lead to a detrimental 'sonic's ass' effect unless you make it look really cool. Batman in Arkham Whatever had to get raised really high for the butt and floor to be seen, and that is important


and finally drama can't work with sexualized designs. If sorceress were delivering the most oscar bait of a speech it would still be a huge Narm. That appeals to some though *cough*Saints Row*cough*B movies*cough*

Turn-based strategy, yeah. And at a sprite resolution of 32x32, you have to exaggerate the shit out of everything.

What even are wrists I didn't say it

In all seriousness, it looks cool. Just get that arm straightened out.

Welp, the female marine sprites are up in my resource thread. Enjoy, and don't turn that thread into a repeat of the last one. :P

still looks not enough, just looks like his arm is short and thin or something.

Really don't want to sound rude, but you've got an arm, you can use that for reference for the sprite!

This mod is pretty much dead now unfortunately. Besides the lack of time, I don't have all the resources I need at the moment to complete the Zaku 2 F2 class (my kit's back home in the US), but I do still have some of the resources left over to make the Jegan Shield weapon. Speaking of which, I finally got it implemented for the most part thanks to Oberron's help with the coding. It's not completely how I want it to act (there are a few obvious bugs still around), but it's close enough to what I have originally wanted.
