Interesting. It looks like you used the DS's palette? I think the colors should be a little more contrasted, so it doesn't look so washed out. But other than that looking quickly I cant see anything that sticks out as a really major flaw.

The armor sections are smooth... a bit too smooth.
I agree with UZO on the contrast.  Also, I cannot tell since I did not load it up on my painting program, but it might be a bit too dithered/pillowshaded, which is why it looks so smooth and blurry in the armor area.

Actually the palette is of my own creation. It was based more on the artwork (including a certain peice of fanart http://serio.piiym-net.com/image/2302200.jpg , which is where I was inspired to give it a more cool and blueish/purple sort of aura) as opposed to the official sprite, which I feel is much too bright and inaccurate.

However your comment on contrast I find a bit odd; for me it appears almost too contrasted. The darks are very dark and the brights are pretty bright. Although it may simply be a result of differing computers and monitor brightnesses; this one appears to be rather dark compared to most newer ones. I'll look into this a bit more, though.

Totally topic unrelated, but Holy mother of Jesus FUCK that reference picture is god-awful!! That's one of the worst figure drawings I've ever seen!! Sure the attention to detail is nice, as are the colors, shading and drapery, but Shanoa is a disfigured mutant!! AAGH.

Yeah, that pic gives Shanoa some ridiculously small feet...

Also, notice it's one of Serio's pics?

Well hey, it is, after all, Kojima style. Right down to the horrible proportions.

No, it's not just the proportions. It's the quality of the drawing and figure overall.

I'll do a better, more detailed analysis when I get home. I'm in class right now.

Well yes, I never said it wasn't horrendously flawed - which it is - simply that its take on Shanoa and the more Kojima-esque flavor it presented inspired me to do some Shanoa related things; albeit all that came out of it was the sprite above.
