Lake rework sneak peek
Added 2025-09-19 10:58:34 +0000 UTCHi folks!
Haku has finished drawing, and I’m applying some changes to our new Lake sprite. Lake was the first character Haku has done in the current set of sprites, still experimenting with the style, and it was due a rework to bring the style closer to the rest of the sprites and address a few issues the sprite had.
We shared an early look in this month’s preview build, but the comments weren't too positive, especially regarding the shape of the jaw. I’ve worked to fix the issues mentioned in the comments, and I think they look better now compared to the version some of you might have seen yesterday, but I'd love to hear from you!

I have a few notes on the two character sprites. Overall, I think there are parts of each that I prefer. Face and Jaw: I feel that the newer sprite's face is more rigid with a more defined jawline, and I prefer the softer, less defined jaw of the older sprite. However, I do think the facial expressions on the newer sprite are better and more expressive. The older sprite's expressions are still good, but I feel the newer one does it even better. Hair: I feel the hair on the older sprite looks more natural, while the hair on the newer one seems more forced and messy. Body Proportions and Fluff: I've noticed that the newer sprite looks slimmer and shorter compared to the older one. I also like the more prominent chest fluff that pokes out of the shirt on the older sprite, as it is less noticeable on the newer one, and I don't prefer that. Ears: I really like the ears on the newer sprite; I think they're better than the ones on the older sprite.
