I am, as one or two of you are aware, a writer. My 'grand project' shan't be posted online, but a bit of information can be found if you ask nicely. What will be posted in this thread are sprites, drawings, and possibly 3D models of characters, vehicles, and weapons from my 'personal universe'. Anyone who wants a basic introduction to the universe can go here. The webpage is unifinished; only one third is completed.


Anyway, without further ado, I present to you the first sprite, a member of the Royal Marines named Kara Redrumen. She's a Pathfinder Sergeant in the 21st Urban Combat Platoon, meaning that she gets to handle the long-ranged and high-powered Gauss Sniper.

Pencil drawings may follow, and sprite updates most certainly will.

can u make the wrist of the his left arm (not our left) a bit bigger? i cant tell where it really is. other then that looks pretty good. If you want it to look like a chick, u should make her hair longer and a uhh... less masculine chest (if u know what i mean).

I can't think of anything less masculine than breasts. :/

As for the hair...when you're in the military, you don't get long hair. It gets in your eyes, it gets tangled in the terrain, and it just gets in the way.

EDIT: I decided to try animating the shooting poses, starting with the Magnum Pistol.

i meant they didnt look like breasts... especially her right one.

shooting animation looks pretty good but you should make her whole body move just a bit from the recoil, not just her arm.

Agreed, the torso needs to recoil a bit. And those really don't look boobish. They look like manly muscles...

Hm. Allow me to give an anatomy lesson. ^_^

When women get buff, their boobs shrink. The reason for this is that breasts are mainly fat, and when you work out, fat goes bye-bye. Given that most soldiers are fairly well-built, you oughtn't to expect any Pamela Anderson chests on your combat chicks.

On another note, here's a fully-armoured drawing of the same character, holding the mighty Gauss Sniper:

Oh, and torso recoil will be added the next time I persuade myself to sit down and draw.

I'm aware of this, but whether it's realistic or not, you need a way to make it clear it's female. There are really only two ways to show that a small sprite of a character is a girl--boobs and hair. You've made excuses for both, and so there's absolutely no way to tell beyond being told.

Even the art looks like a guy, because the face is the other way to tell, and it's pretty obscured.

The pose is kind of feminine, but still not enough to really know it's a girl and not just an effeminate guy.

Much better. Although the area where the recoiling torso meets the nonrecoiling torso looks really off.

And... the shading on her pants is kind of funky.. I guess it's supposed to be camouflage, but something seems off.

Any idea what 'something' that is? It may well be the camoflauge.

It looks crinkly and random, not camouflaged and shaded.

Why are'nt the breasts bouncing around?
And is it a gun that she's using? It looks like shit if it really is a gun. You can't hold it like that.

Uh. Because boobs jiggle when they're large, and when women work out, their boobs become not-large because of fat loss. I thought I went over this...?

What do you mean about the gun? "You can't hold it like that"--are you refering to the one-handed grip? 'Cause you're wrong, if you are.

Try to look at some boobs in motion and see for yourself. The ones you draw are big enough to move around when she fires the "gun".
