If she's over 9, this might work:

If she's younger, you might want to make her a few pixels shorter, instead.  Try to reduce the arms/body and the legs by the same amount.

At that resolution, you might also consider working without outlines.  Doing an image search for childrens' clothes might help you get some ideas for gendered clothing, which should make up for the lack of gender dimorphism in children.  Even for older children and adults, clothing is made to fit differently between genders.  Things like shirt buttons and belts also overlap differently.  Female clothing is right over left, but male is left over right.

I'd say she needs shortening in both body and legs. The bottom of the shirt I think needs editing because it makes it hard to tell what perspective shes being viewed from. Also make head rounder somehow?

1: It's kinda hard to make an area seem dark. There are varying shades here (Not much shading on the character however) with the darkest being (Obviously) total darkness. However, I tried doing a backdrop and it doesn't work well with tiles. Should I just get rid of the backdrop or try something else with it?

Tried reducing saturation for the shaded areas as well as value?

I don't have good experience with changing saturation to brightness. Here is an awesome tutorial for pixel art shades, taking the "with brightness the hue should change a bit" approach.

Tadaa.



Ready for filling, finishing, and paint.

Ever wondered just how big the planets are that dwarf fortress generates?

I did some math today.  Turns out, they are 1/60.75 the size of the earth, when the estimate of 1 square meter is given for 1 play tile in fortress/adv mode, and when more or less riggorously examined for the degree of insolation using the temperature data from legends mode as an analogue.

Wondered how big a large region is compared to the planet? Approximately 1/8 total surface.

Here's what it kinda sorta looks like, forcibly mapped onto an appropriately scaled sphere.

Oooh that looks cool. What is it going to be?

Wow. That's big. I did some maths a while ago and got the result that a large DF map was roughly the size of england, which seemed right-ish. I trust your maths more. That's cool.

A cosplay prop for my GF (from homestuck). The top bit... linked a random kinda crappy image but you can get the point. (See previous pages for the staff bit)

Well, given that the DF planets work out to being 1:60.75 scale that of the earth, based on the wildly smaller sphere radius I computed for all the other data being fed in, it being about the size of England is probably about right.  The earth is amost 61 times bigger!

Next up on the list of todos, is to derive what kind of star the system needs, and how far away it is.

[Bauglir]

Clouds! Clouds forever!

I'm satisfied with these, so I'll have to decide whether I want thunderstorms in there or if I just want to move onto the landmasses.

I don't know why that happened.

Also, MyPaint is weird.

He's quite cross-eyed, holding a mug and an axe, and most notably not wearing pants. Must've been one hell of a night.

Did you not notice him having two mustaches? He seems to have two mustaches. Other than that he looks like a typical dwarf.

I thought those were his lips... but NO this isn't a standard dorf. He's holding a wooden mug. As we all know, only stone mugs are useful, only for selling to traders. Unless this is an off-duty axedwarf hauling a wooden mug from the siezed elven caravan, I'd say this is a pretty special occasion.

Ready for painting the eyes (might have to have gf do that herself, somehow. I'm rubbish with that kind of stuff), then lacquering. Nearly done.
