Description
Here's something I've been sitting on for several years. Wanted to do a sprite manip of *DouglasShuler 's character from the moment I saw her, but at the time my pixel manip-fu was weak. In recent months however I've gottten much better, and suddenly I remembered this was moldering in a forgotten folder. Needless to say, it was go time.Things were a little tricky, as Lightspeed's built like a pixie and Rainbow Mika's built like a tank, but I think I managed to slim down the final product well enough. Just hoping Mr. Shuler approves

Even though I don't know what the real character looks like, I would say this sprite suffers from too-saturated colors. It would probably have been better to start with darker tones and use highlights to brighten them. In fact, the lack of shading is the biggest issue here. I know the R.Mika sprite has some shading on it; you might have considered using the shading that was already present on the sprite as your guide.

Shay-deeng? Don't you go using your fancy-pants art terms on this writer, boy!
Seriously though, you raise a totally valid point and given me something to work on farther down the road.

Awesome! I haven't played Light-speed in a while, so it's great to see her poking around. Thanks for the pixel art.
