I'm trying to make this character one of the 3 main characters, and she's kind of a "spoilt-girl" type, like Serra. Of course I'm no expert (I'm better at SNES stuff and besides stats is the only thing I know how to hack) so where do you think I can improve on?

("GEN" is a fighter-type character)

Hey there! I've got a few suggestions for you:

-The colors are a bit oversaturated, IMO. You might want to tone them down a bit.
-The shading is a bit wonky. You might have better luck reversing the light and dark tones of the hair, and the shirt is rather messy. While you're just starting with portraits, it's better to take pre-existing stuff and splice/recolor it than just doing it by yourself.
-The hairstyles you spliced together don't really work with eachother. The hair that isn't Lyn's goes too far on the left side from our point of view, and it should be more of a continuation from her hair on the right side.
-The bow should be redone some so it fits more with the perspective of the sprite.

All that aside, as they say, the first step is the hardest. Good on you for giving it your all, and you can only improve from here on out!
