An Xp sprite - Charset

[PurpleCao]

Alrighty, this is the first of many sprites i'm making for an RPG project i'm working on. I know it looks dark, but on fullscreen it's not as dark as it seems from the tiny actual view.
This character is edited from two default characters, with edited shoulders and new colours.
It is intended to be a female Assassin.

It's been about Five years since I last made a Charset for any RPG Maker.

I'm no expert, but I think some gray on the black areas would work nicely. Maybe beneath the elbows and such. Gray works well when working with dark on sprites. Maybe purple even, but it's all depending on what you're going for. Like I said I'm no expert but the hair is looking good.

Most RTP sprites have 2x2 pixels for the dark part of the eyes. You only have 1x3 pixels. With 3 being the length and 1 being the width. It just makes your character look a little bit like in those animes when a character see's something weird and his or her eyes change.

This is what it should look more like.

If you're trying to make the character badass. I'd suggest removing the color from the bottom part of the eyes. With an extra pixel each on the eyebrows to make the character look angry

Other than that. Unless you are running your game in zoomed view, you should lighten up the purple and blue just a bit. From my perspective I couldn't see the purple until I zoomed in.

Good job! I'm glad to see you like RTP! I admire one with the same RTP resolve as myself

Be well

I suggest loads more contrast - it's hard to make out any details, it's like s/he's a big black/purple blob. I'm going to assume that it's a girl based on the line of cleavage? I suggest getting rid of that and just adding highlights to the breasts. Also, the eyes are pretty whack.

The eyes are recolours of the ones found on the Lamia sprite. Just went for something different~

@StarGGundam2: Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with RTP's style, just that it's less fun to see the same dudes in each game. Doing sprite edits changes all of that.
Forgot to mention. The game's meant to have some flexibility, letting you pick from a small array of looks. This is one for female assassin. Each class and gender is going to have five different guys. There's 9 job types and obviously two genders. I'm probably gonna be learning a lot. :P
Also, I'm a Gundam fan. :D

Though I do recommend you listen to Tindy about the contrast. She has a valid point. I'm terrible at clothing, so I can't tell you much, but I can see that you need to increase the contrast to way more than that.
