Do you ever simp so hard that it boosts your creativity? That’s what happened here. Since I reblogged a lovely piece of artwork of DLN-067, Splash Woman, I’ve been wanting to do something with her art-related the only way I knew how- by making her a custom sprite, in the same vein I made Centaur Man one a while back. Unfortunately, Splash Woman, despite her breathtaking design, kind of got the shaft with her in-game sprite- don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad sprite by any means, but as a whole, it just looks a little... scrunched. Especially the facial area. So, that was my primary goal when crafting a new Splash Woman sprite from the ground up- a better looking face, among other color fixes so that she is actually reminiscent to her artwork. Some may notice that the yellow color used in Splash Woman’s official sprite is nowhere to be found in my rendition- since the original palette already had a skin tone color, I decided to swap out the yellow and trade it in for a dark blue color, used primarily on her mermaid tail. I tried real hard to narrow the colors used in her palette from seven (!) to six, but I couldn’t get it to look right, so I left it as is. That being said, I hope you like how the sprite turned out! Here’s hoping I did her justice! 💙
