I finally finished it. Since I finally decided to give Isabella a new redesign, I knew it was only right to update her neutral sprite (and eventually her intro card) and I have finally done it. I decided to actually give a pattern to the shirt underneath since it occurred to me that just making it pink would be boring. If anything, I improved the color scheme along with the skin tone since I realized the one I usually use isn’t that great and I should REALLY consider finding new skin tone colors.
I think the one I usually use is one that I found from the color picker. … Mmm… I’m gonna need more bases for skin color. But that doesn’t matter. One of the issues I had with Isabella is that I was hoping she didn’t look “lolita like” since that wasn’t my intention with her. Now, while others have informed me “she looks fine”, I can’t assure myself that and I think I can finally put those worries to rest. I like the new design. I like how I can use the fact she’s wearing a sweater like that to my advantage now when drawing her. So yeah. I’m happy now. And I think I’ll take a break from changing up designs because I am now officially satisfied with all my character’s designs.
… Now we see how long it’ll be before I make a new one for someone else… Urf…
Did some edits to the sprite. My reason for that is being that I used the wrong sprite when trying to start considering I didn’t remember the name I gave to her new sprite. And you know what? The sprite looks even better.

Why do I feel like Isabella’s sprites are getting worse…?
I… I don’t even know… I’ve done as many adjustments/re-dos that I could. What I’ve been trying to do is make her look a bit… older. Still look child-ish but you can tell she’s not a child. … To be honest, the base I’ve been using for her likely doesn’t help. … At all. She’s also been getting a smaller frame…
Hmm… Well I’d like to hear what you guys think. I feel if I use any other sprite for her, it just won’t fit as well so really, this character’s base is the best one I can use but lemme know what you think. Because even if I’ll likely still be fussing with editing the body, the head looks good.
