Now that I have seen the hairstyle... I like it. I like this version of the trident hairstyle. The cowlick on the back of the neck was a nice touch.
And as for the digital sketch... The linework is pretty tight. Though, I wonder... When drawing a figure, do you sketch out the bare bones (a glorified stick figure) of the pose prior to fleshing out all the details? Or do you go straight to the final touches and skip the other steps? If you use simple sketches to build a pose on paper, you can do the same digitally. I often start my digital pics off with a simple, quick sketch of the pose in a light blue on the background layer. Then, I add a new layer and start fleshing it out. Because one works digitally doesn't mean they need to change how they draw.
The cowlick at the back... I kinda wasn't thinking on that part, just went with the flow of how the hair's line was drawn and I liked it! This is the best look so far for the Trident hairstyle and I think I'll make it the final official one, hard to find a way to improve it now.
Thanks for the comment on the digitally sketch! I didn't show it as I hide it in SAI, but I made a blue sketch to position the body parts (you know the circles, ovans, lines, etc.) to set up how I want my guy to look and then another layer I started drawing the clothes and and facial expressions (the facial expressions on another layer with a different color so I can change the face without messing up the lines of the head).
I'm looking for some reference to his stance with some DBZ-style in it and I have ALL 26 DBZ manga volumes to look at and get a rough idea how to draw him. So far I'm having a tough time with the arms and pants as I'm not use to drawing full body characters, especially DBZ style, and I'm getting more familiar with the Tablet. Still need some more work though.
Also I did ALL the lineart by hand, I haven't used the Vector layer yet. Going to be a while before I color and shade in the drawing digitally.
Thanks for your feedback!

I wonder if it's time for me to reveal this? I wonder if my sprite skills have improved a lot?
Reimu Hakurei RMVX-Style Sprite WIP:
Hey there! This is my first, well second if you count the early fanart Touhou character, Touhou artwork uploaded here!
This is a sprite I've made of Reimu Hakurei, the main character of the popular Japanese-only PC "Bullet Hell" games called
"Touhou" created by ZUN.
However I'm uploading this, because I want your opinions about which sprite version of Reimu I should use.
I'm planning on making a Touhou RPG game and my project will be made with the RPG Maker VX which is what style I'm
using to make this sprite, with my own touch. I plan to create almost all the important/well-known Touhou characters
from the series including the recent cast from Touhou 13: Ten Desires.
From left to right is a dark brown/regular brown haired Reimu with one slight brownish/red eyes on the left and complete
red eyes on the right. The same is held true for the other two on the right except they have black hair instead.
I want to get it as close as possible to what she really looks like, officially or a close second. I made the brown-colored
hair version Reimu first, but then made a black-haired variation to see if she looks better with black hair.
She officially has dark brown hair by Touhou 13, but her black hair look looks more comfortable on the eyes and such.
So I ask you, which one of the four sprites of Reimu should I use?
Please note I'm still working on her sprite sheet, so this is her only sprite frame done. I hope in the future I'll get ALL of the
ones I want done and/or get help making the rest of the Touhou cast as well as releasing them for other people to use in
their own Touhou RPG projects if they want. But please credit or cite your source, I'm working hard on these.
Though it took me about an hour I think to work over the Female Sprite template to get her first sprite done.
Also any ways to improve it? I try to get it detailed as possible while keeping the pseudo-VX sprite style of the RMVX program.
It's pretty hard to make the detached sleeves on her sprite without making it weird.
And the color palette to show what colors I used. Tricky to find the right colors, especially getting the darker ones to outline the sprite more.
Comments, opinions, suggestions? Or did you think they're good enough?

Reimu Hakurei VX-Sprite Sheet
This is my complete RPG Maker VX-Style Sprite Sheet of Reimu Hakurei! Took me awhile to finish it, but I got her done!
Also, thanks to the people who picked which Reimu was better from my previous one of the WIP sheet... the third Reimu
was chosen.
I have to say it was tricky figuring out how her back should look, but I managed it somehow. I have to say it looks great
and I'm proud to have finished it! ^_^
Now there's like 60+ Touhou characters to sprite. @_@
Well my complete sprite sheet of Reimu is done and I'll allowing anyone to use it for their own Touhou RPG projects, just
give proper credit please.
I forgot to add in Reimu's alternate costume or second costume, which gives her purple hair and purple eyes as a throwback
to the original PC-98 games and I plan for my Touhou RPG for all females to have at least 8 different costumes. I plan to have
a lot of Touhou references to old games and sources.
I have planned Reimu's default look, alternative costume, schoolgirl outfit, and swimsuit costumes. Every Touhou will have a
school-theme outfit.
Tell me what you think, is there anyway for me to improve upon what I've got here?
Chris Corona VX-Style Sprite
Hello everyone, this is a RPG Maker VX-Style Sprite of my original Chris Corona. I use this avatar of him for his other alternative
universe version of himself (excluding "The Legendary Heroes" RPG series, "VirusChris/Virakin" manga project, and "Virakin Advent"
series).
I finished him a while back, but I went back and updated him a little by making his hair darker (it was much lighter), more details
on his clothes as well as darken them, and fixing up his hair a bit.
If you can't see it, I made a necklace for him on his sprite but you probably need to download to get a better look at it.
He's the Protagonist of many stories I have about him (each different in their own way), and I plan to have him appear in a game I have
planned where the player can change his name (it's his default name) and choose various sayings and something interesting about his
history that affect the scenario in certain ways.
I used 21 different colors to make him, so it took a while to get him right especially his hair which was the hardest one to sprite.
Tell me what you think, OK? Do you see any areas I should touch up upon to fix or improve?
Are surprised no one is commenting on the Touhou Sprites at least... saying as some of you guys love Touhou.

I'm completely astonished that no one commented on the Reimu Sprite at least! Give a guy a bone, already!

I've been working on a Fate/Extra fanfic recently and I've just uploaded the 7th chapter to my story today, that being Chapter 5 in the fanfic.
Chapter 5: Thy Enemy is my Old FriendPlease take a look at it! I've been busy with work a lot last week so hopefully this week I can get some drawings done!

I can't believe I'm actually going to post this, but it IS my first true complete digitally colored artwork. I also wanted to do a simple and easy character that's not to complex to draw which is why I wanted to draw this kind of character:
This is my own original character, Crimson, based on the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Yes, I've watched the MLP series and I'll be frank... I like the series and now I'm a brony and I'm not afraid to admit it. I've draw Crimson in Paint Tool SAI and used my Wacom Tablet to draw and color him in, and I used Photoshop to make his gradient eyes. I based his mane after my character Chris Corona because I wanted to have a unique kind of mane for this pony character and a few other reasons as well.
If you want to learn more details and my character's description, click on the picture. I have a story in mind for my character as well, and sadly I won't write it until I've draw his little dragon companion, Glitterrock the female black baby/kid dragon, if you're interest in learning about my character.
Hope you like it, but I know the flaw in my drawing is that he's body is too long for the pony in the show which I kinda dislike about what I did to my drawing.
