Female "Dragons"

(I hope this is the correct Section to post this; otherwise I'll move it where it's required).

Just a simple female version of the guys. Even though I know there's a lore and they have names, personalities and so, I've always seen them more as blank slates, mostly because the faces are almost featureless.

I'm showing just the "Billy" colors just as an example, yet I don't intend it to be a "Rule 63" situation (Billie? Jamie?), but different chars altogether. I started first by dressing "Linda" as the guys, and then giving "Billy" a...let's say major makeover.

Unfortunately, I couldn' get a full sprite sheet from "Double Dragon II Arcade" (just a few animations from "The Sprites Resource" and "The Cutting Room Floor" webpages here and there), so I had to craft those animations by splicing and some hand drawing. Same with all the new moves from following games: stomping, jump/stomping...and first and foremost *running*. Sorry in advance if the sprites don't add up to a decent animation, but I don't know how to rip/animate those.

I don't know much either about palettes, but I assumed the less hues, the better. So I used mostly "Billy" 's colors for hair and attire. About the skin, he shares the skin color palette with "Linda", except she has two more shades, which appear in a few sprites. Regarding attires, since the three male "Dragons" already have the 3 primary colors and "Jeff" has green, the two remaining ones would be purple and orange. I left the boots and braces with the same white/grey since it fits the "Dragon" theme better.

Anyway, the file I have has the hair, skin, eyes, vest, pants, Tshirts, braces and boots all in different layers, making the colors easy to change, so feel free to ask if there are many "rebel" pixels around.

Interesting. from my point of view I cannot unsee "men" here ^^
I would have tweaked them a bit more, body proportions, perhaps also optionnal, rework the clothes.
But this is quite funny!

I'm cusrious to see what else you can do.
Your editing seems pretty promising.
 
Thanks for the appreciation and opinion!

I see what you mean about "seeing men" - my main concern was that she would look just like a dude with a headswap. That's why I first dressed "Linda" up with the dudes' clothes and only when I had ran out of her sprites I moved on to editing "Billy". I changed bosoms, butts and sometimes legs all around. And, even though "Linda" has nothing to envy the guys upper body-wise, I slimmed "Billy"'s arms a few times.

Anyway, it was fun to dwell into editing such small images for a change after dealing with huge ones.
