That was surprisingly hard to do. Every attempt to fix the chin line to not look like an evil smile just altered it. I tried lighter colors, shortening parts of the curve, eliminating parts of it - it always looked like a mouth. I finally ended up bringing the neckline of the dress up, and that seems to have done it.

It didn't want to be fixed :]

I had never even seen it like an evil smile, to me it always looked like a proper chin line. o.O Interesting.

Wow!

Yeah, to me I always thought evil smile with long, large face. When they're surprised, I thought they were because she did look old. It took me a while to realize that she was supposed to look young.

I guess this is like SoM's version of the Rorschach inkblot test. ;) Peace,

I suspect that the red eyes never helped her to NOT look evil.

Good work on the sprite though, does look better IMO.

Haha, when I was little I always looked at her that way too.
I think maybe the chin part could be a little bit darker shade though.

I always looked at Jema like he had a MASSIVE head for some reason. When I was younger it appeared to me that his moustache was actually his nose, and his chin was his waist down there. And he had super yellow mutton chops. XD

And I always thought Watts was just a super tall Dwarf wearing a skull mask. I thought his eyes were big fangs. His nose and beard looked like armor to me.

Yeah,

The red eyes definitely don't help! So, does anyone know any good artwork of her? I don't THINK there's anything official, right? But is there some good fan art?

Peace,

In one of the Japanese guides there is a chibi drawing of her used for story sections, also in the Nintendo Power issue that walks you through that part of the game there is a drawing of her, Marini who used to post here a lot used that as her avatar:

But I really really dislike all of the sketchy drawings they included with the Nintendo Power stuff, it all looks pretty bad.

I don't have a scanner or I'd get a picture of the little Luka.

I have a few pictures of her, but this one is my favourite:

None of it is official of course.

Tekka, if you have any more of these and happen to know the sources, mind submitting them for the Fanart gallery?
