A Quick Peek at Sophia's Sprite Update
I wanted to make her bratty and haughty vibe more apparent with her design so I decided to make her hair reflect her more straight edged nature. This alongside a couple minor tweaks to the shading and detailing should make her align more with the current quality standards of the game. I'm sure there will be a lot of thoughts so feel free to give any feedback, I'll do my best to implement what I can.

Straight hair definitely fits more theme wise imo. Looks good!
She's definetly looking better with more details !
The ^ mouth is perfection
Ngl I prefer the old hair everything else looks great.
I actually really like this new sprite design. Still makes her my favourite :). I did also like her old wavy hairstyle. Someone posted this before, but I do like the idea of her having a more wavy/messy hairstyle at later stages. Doing great work here
The more I look at the new sprite, the more I like it. I guess it is a getting used to it. But I still gotta say, the old hairstyle looked more bratty. For the rest, the new one hits really good.
I can feel the chagrin of her scowl, I love it, can't wait to see her in later stages
Please do a similar messy bags hairstyle for someone tho. I loooove it
I am definitely a little partial to the OG hair but the new sprite looks fantastic. I like the new hair too honestly and the character reasoning is good. Probably too much work, but maybe her hair could get more wavy throughout stages to make her look increasingly sloppy as she progresses?
Would be a cool idea, I could try implementing that and maybe tying it to the self control stat perhaps? Might be a decent bit of extra work but could be interesting to look into
I do think I prefer the old hairstyle more. I understand the rich girl straight cut look, but I always felt her wavy hair looks like it's supposed to be very voluminous and luscious. In that sort of "naturally perfect" way that she'd brag about not even needing to style it. Also, quite a few girls have straight bangs already. On the flip side, I absolutely love the touch ups to her outfit and face. You're definitely getting better at communicating depth with your artstyle and I can't wait to see what her later sprites look like. (Thinking of it, I feel I'd love to see her old curls in your updated style.)
Okay, I feel like I was really just dancing around my words. I have a hard time criticizing things because it just makes me feel needlessly mean. But I guess bluntly I just don't really like the new haircut. That still feels too rude for me to say it, cause I'm just one person, meanwhile you're the gamedev making everything all by yourself! And again, I absolutely love the other updates to her sprite! Sorry if this all comes across the wrong way!
I'm going to miss her wavy hair, but I think this is the sort of middle ground that you should go for with the sprites for the rest of the girls, like I remember you saying with me about the Lucy sprites Updated, with definite skill improvement in the shading and everything, but I also think that this set doesn't seem so generic with the updates to Sophia's face like what Lucy's does
The sprite is quality but I've got to throw my hat in the ring and say that I loved her wavy hair. Just because straight hair is part of the rich girl stereotype doesn't mean you should level your designs to so purely conform to said stereotypes.
The hair changing to what it is really looks good and does indeed bring out that bratty boss bitch vibe her dialog and character is supposed to have and I love it.
Really well done, "bratty' is exactly the vibe here.
Love the new look!
Whilst there's lots of talk about the hair, I think the depth of the anatomy is a significant improvement. Look awsome!
I quite liked the old Sophia sprite but this is a pretty good update, the original was pretty dorky and didn't get her personality across as well as this new one does.
So it seems my favorite character’s hairstyle is being changed. I was really attached to the previous one…
I knew this was going to ruffle a few feathers but I think it's more reflective of her character so hopefully people can warm up to it over time
perfection
I love her new haircut and the subtle details you added to her body!
I’m going to miss the fluffier hair 😭 also weirdly I’m getting Sabrina from Pokémon vibes?
That's true lol, I haven't really played pokémon in such a long time but the new hairstyle is pretty similar. Haughty anime women do have a certain a vibe to them and I think the clean cut bangs are a pretty good visual shorthand for that.
The sprite updates look so good! Keep up the great work!
She’s so perfect
