Description
Wasn't sure about category on this one, but I'll probably scrap it at some point anyway. Sorry for the kinda crappy photo... I used my phone.
If I can figure out how to actually screencap it, I will.Anyway, this is my sukumizu loli hero from the DS game Drawn to Life! I named her Akami.
For those who don't know of the game, it's a cute platformer that allows you to draw your own character to use as the hero in your game. You also get to draw all kinds of other stuff in the game which makes it incredibly fun and customizable! For example, she has a "snow gun" which I made into a stuffed bear that shoots snow from its mouth.
It was interesting and a bit tough to figure out how to best draw it within the template, still make it cute the way I wanted, and still look good in the animated sprite form! In that way, it's not perfect the way I originally wanted it, but it's the best I could make it without making the sprite animation look like it had broken limbs.
I ramble too much in my descriptions. D: Sorry guys!
Anyway, enjoy, and play Drawn to Life!!

Scrap it?? I got a rom of the game for nostalgia's sake today and I'm hoping to come up with something at least this decent! This is absolutely adorable *^*
I totally would love to draw this way ^^

Oh, that is super cute!! I didn't know you could design such cute little pixel art characters like that in the game. I just re-found out about it, and I'm a little bummed I still haven't played it yet!

I imagine the joints looking too weird around the arms in levels. You should straighten them out, but other than that, it's awesome.

Thanks! I appreciate the critique on its mechanics since I tried hard to work with that. The arms actually work pretty well to me in game, but the legs are a bit odd since the joint begins in the middle of the thigh. I preferred it to the way it looked when I tried fixing that, though (made her torso longer and legs shorter - changed the overall proportion look I was going for).

I've just now bought the game. I like your character. I might use her for reference.

I always envied the people who could draw such amazing creations on Drawn To Life. ; w ;
You shall be my inspiration, heh.~ :3

Aww, yay! ;w; I'm glad I could inspire you!
Drawn to Life was a really fun game to make stuff in~ I wish there were more games with creative input like that.

Yaya.~
Tis. c: I fail at colour-schemes though. xD I wish this as well.
Animal Crossing is another that I can think of, but you're limited on what you can create/edit. ; u ;

Eee, I love Animal Crossing!!

Hee! She moves OK, but the legs are a bit disjointed since I made her hips a little higher than the guide recommended. XD Still, I preferred it this way. Doing it by the guide made her legs seem too short.

Pardon me, did you say guide?

Oh, I just mean the blocky guidelines shown in the picture where the game shows the boundaries for each part (head box, arm box, etc.)

Ah i see. (didnt found it yet) But thanks for telling me.

Don't worry, it's easy to find! If you look at my picture, it's just the blue line boxes surrounding my character
Those are a template that is part of the game. It just shows you where to draw in each part of the character.

Ah i guess i could find some around online, btw i suddenly noticed the hand is on Elbows blue line, i bet it look weird.. :s
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's nothing to find online, it's just the blue lines you mentioned XD
It might look weird here, but I think it works out pretty good in-game.

oh hah okay.
.. may i ask, are you fan of kingdom hearts?

Kinda random, but sure
I really loved KH1, but I haven't been able to get into the games as much since then. I got the new one on 3DS but I haven't played much yet.

I tried to draw my character... he looked so weird. ;-; I decided to scrap him and went for a Kirby XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wow, how'd you do that? XD Kirby's so round, I dunno how you'd fit him in the template.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He has tiny arms and feet in the arms and legs sections and so he ends up "floating" XD;; Of course, he would look really weird when he gets hit...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! XD
My friend and I had an idea where it could be a floating doll in the center part, with floaty orbs in the "arms" sections and dust blown around in the "feet" part.

I have a hero like that named Whispy XD But you could do better since mine looks like MS Paint. =X
I should experiment with pixel art some time... XD

You should!

Jammy~! I demand some animation shots in the future!
Also, how long did it take you to finish tweaking this character? XD Akami is too cute!
