This came out EXACTLY how I wanted it to! It is so cute! *squee*

*Ahem* Anyways, this sprite was done using one of Maggey Byrde's poses as a reference, and of course the hair and clothes are all custom made by me. As always, the skin color, eyes, nose and eyebrows came from Wocky's sprites, since she IS his daughter. The mouth I drew freehand using Wocky's mouth from his 'twirl' pose as a reference.

Her hair... It seems familiar somehow, doesn't it?

Yes, I have noticed that Rosa's hair is somewhat similar to April May's, but it's actually supposed to be like Wocky's being flat and having curled up ends, but every time I draw it it ALWAYS ends up looking like April's. I try to keep it consistent, but that's not always easy to do, is it?

About the pose- Coming from two parents that express very much emotion, I figured that Rosa would express a vast range of emotions. This one in particular is one that she does when she is very happy about something or being grateful towards someone. It could also be if a guy she liked said something nice to her. I actually called this sprite 'kira kira' (Or, in Japanese, キラキラ) It means to glitter or sparkle, and it was the name of one of Pearl's poses in the Ace Attorney artbook. It kinda reminded me of that, so that's what I called it.



At first I wanted to try to freehand a pose for Rosa's breakdown, but when I tried it it turned out not so good, so I went with Iris/Dahlia's instead.

One thing that I added that you don't see in Rosa's other poses is her ears- Well, her right one anyway. The shading with the ears just looks odd to me, but I did the best I could, y'know? Another thing I added is that she wears rose stud earrings. I took the rose from Jean Armstrong's sprite, shrunk it down REALLY small so it could fit on her ear properly.

Also, the shading on the hair for this one was EXTREMELY difficult. Her hair is just blowing about everywhere, so I just shaded it the way the original sprite was... Or as close I could get as possible. Her jacket is also being blown around by the 'random wind', so you can see the inside of it a little bit, and I shaded accordingly.

AUGH HER FACE. The face was hard to do as well. It kept looking really odd, and I fixed it numerous times, but it still looks weird to me.

About the pose- It's pretty much exactly like Iris and Dahlia's. Not much to say, really. Though I wanted a more unique one for Rosa, but...



Hoh hoh hoh, I wanted to do this one SO BADLY, because I always imagined her doing this pose.

This is, of course, an inspriation from Dahlia's bitchy hair flick. And yes, Rosa does it too, and just like her *Shivers in fear*

Everything is the same as always, but this time the mouth came from Alita's nervous twitch pose, since the mouth was at the perfect angle for the way her face is positioned here. The hand was a BITCH to draw- I kept having to redraw it because it would either be too fat or too skinny, but I ended up getting it just right.

Another problem I had was editing the sprite so she wouldn't look too skinny. The torso looks OK, but I think her lower half looks kinda thin. Eh, I'm just being nitpicky.

About the pose- Since Rosa is the niece of the diobalicaly evil Dahlia Hawthorne, I thought it would make sense if she inherited at least one thing from her- And the perfect thing for me was the hair flick. She's not evil like her, but she still has her bitchiness. If you see her doing this, BE AT CAUTION. You are about to witness WHITE EYES OF EVIL (...Just like Wocky, Dahlia and Morgan).



AWWWWWWWW~

Rosa in her younger years, probably around Pearl's age (8-10). I've asked some people before which form of Rosa they thought looked better, her younger or older self, and a lot of people tell me her older self looks better. Eh, I dunno, I like both ^v^

In this pose, Rosa is wearing a dress that billows up slightly and has a white collar. I think everyone knows that this pose was inspired by Pearl's angry pose, when she's about to slap someone. Yup, Rosa slaps people too. Her hair is also shorter when she is younger, and her eyes are wider. Other than that she is pretty much the same.

Personality wise, Rosa as a child was almost a carbon copy of Pearl. ALMOST being a key word, because she picked up a lot of things from Wocky as well, such as some of his mannerisms and speech, which some carry over to her older self.

About the pose- Rosa is gangsta, what else can I say?
