1: Juju said it might be the placement. I'll have to see once I start shading. That usually helps me see what's off better.
2: There's a story behind that, too. 8D...

Just a simple placement shifting her nose and also her mouth

The way I saw the fist one, the center of her face was harder to locate. Based on the placement of her eye, large gap between her cheek(from left) and the nose could could make her nose look pushed-in or disfigured to right. Same goes for the gap between the lower cheek and mouth.

Finally started colors on this thing, but I'm a long way from finishing.
Moved her nose/mouth slightly. Not sure if it's enough, but the lines and shading for that are on the same layer so moving them a bit more should be simple enough, if necessary.

Only thing that's "done" color-wise is the hair. The face still needs a bit of work, and everything else needs wayyyy more...

That skin tone makes her look like a corpse..

What, the white skin? She is meant to look pale, but I guess some more warm tones could be needed in there. It never really struck me as odd, but that's probably because I know what it's supposed to look like, even if that didn't come across....
I thought about darker skin too, but I'm not sure what I'd end up using if I went for that. Mmm.

Some people would think of it as a demonic or otherworldly skin color.
... That doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

Maybe you could make the skin tone more like stone.

Between corpse and stone, corpse sounds more appealing. LOL

And now the reason I've stopped playing is to draw
fanart of it.
It's not often that a game compels me enough to draw fanart but HNNNG. I'll be doing a series of these. Tried to keep them in the 2D style of the character portraits...and in the right aspect ratio that would fit on the screen. Weeee.
Obviously needs shading, but I have to go to work now. Ah..

Tried to follow the game's shading of the MU. That part is also one of the few places there's any sort of gradiation, which is fine, I guess. These also aren't meant to take long...Except for a select few moments that I really, really want to detail. But I'm doing things in chronological order so I'll have to wait for that. ;^;....

There's also no moment when it's very clear what the ground is supposed to look like. Closest I could find was from the beach DLC, and that was really...fuzzy. So...I GUESS. THIS IS OKAY. ISH.
