Jappio's RPG Sprites

[Iocus]

Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you even further. Here's an edit to illustrate better.


As you mentioned previously, the face was one of the places where the lightsource seemed to come mostly from the bottom left. Another one is the hair, and the leftmost elbow. In my edit, I corrected these, and made them more adequate for the established lightsource. I tweaked your palette, which I think had too little contrast.
I tweaked the hat a bit, as well as defined its border with the hair better. I did some minor tweaks to the hair to make it seem more hair-like (The lighting is probably negligible though.) I thought the face needed some major reworking, so I redid that. I also gave it some more expression, since the latest revision still has her with a rather blank expression. I made the hands (and I think the arms? I can't recall) bigger, because they were much too tiny. To be honest, I had trouble finding references for this particular pose in a long dress, so I'm not all that satisfied with how the dress came out, but I think it's a little more cloth-like now, in any case.

Hope this helps somehow.
