This is test work for a template for walking female sprite (since there isn't one posted currently).
It's a preliminary gray scale re-draw based on the current male template

Opinions...suggestions?
On a purely artistic level, it could use more ski-oh, right. Preliminary. Oops. Other than that, it looks good, well done.
Also, lol. I'm still a mod here xD
These are my plans
-5 color default palatte template
-5 color Gray Scale -make it easier for recolors
I also want test an alternate walking animation with a bit more swing that could be used for
maybe a dancer class and such.
That's certainly a good idea but well...watch out you don't overload yourself :P
What you have is certainly good though. I might do a test sprite for it later. When I'm not dead.
Tossed some gifs in ye ole dropbox to share some test animations.
Just open 'em in your browser

Note:left collar bone shadow intact mostly to mark range of motion for later creations

Looks good. Though, the back one has a mistake on the top of the head. xD The head shape in the odd frames shrinks the head a bit. xD
Fixed it.
Always good to have more eyes.
looking great. Except for the side view. The torso looks strange. I suggest making the breasts a bit smaller, it might help.
Isn't it based on your template, LB? xD
It is. And I've tried to make a female before and ran into the same problem on the side-veiw. Lol
Tweaked side view.
EDIT: Prepared some finished templates. Was hoping for more imput but here goes.

They look good, but the real test is the kind of sprites you can create with it and how easily they can be created, so try making a few sprites and showcase them as well.
