The first image is the rough character design I drew in photoshop. I left things very basic with a clear image of where certain details would be later on. For now it's sorta like blocking out the design of the outfit in a sense.

I'm gonna start with the most current piece.
This is something I started 2 days ago(precisely! haha) of an elven warrior, and MY GAWD ARE HER BOOBS HUGE! Seriously. I have no idea how they got that big! One minute she was a sketch and BAM. It actually really does happen that way...for cartoon characters that is...
Just for the record, I actually enjoy drawing any female characters with small racks but every so often it's fun to make them utterly ridiculous. To be honest they weren't this big in the rough and I'm not happy that they ended up bigger from my original sketch.
But all silliness aside I brought the rough sketch into flash CS5(not that the version matters for something like this) and inked her with the pencil tool on the lowest size(which I forget what it is..)
It's very annoying inking at that size BUT, you can ensure that all your lines are closed, making the coloring process soooooo much easier and less painful.
There's nothing more frustrating then trying to fill an area to find out SOMEWHERE is a gap in your lines. The key is to always try to cross your lines or "intersect" them. This ensures they're closed and you can just delete the little 'nubs" afterwards.
The more I work in flash the more I get used to the vector look. I really enjoy it though it takes time with detailed character designs. In Adobe I wouldn't consider this detailed, but in flash...it's detailed, haha.
This girl, she doesn't have a name :< !
