Edit: Another updated version (now with white hair)
I started working on this sprite last year (the third of January) and when I had finished only the front standing sprite, it had alreay taken me more than a hour. I didn’t start on the other poses at all until three days ago. All in all it took me around four, five hours, I think.
I really like how the sprite came out, but I’m not too sure about the hair colour. I’ve made it more blondier, because frankly it needed contrast and yet…

Also a big thank you to Avery for giving tips and such on fixing the hair! Thank you so much.

The one with the blonde hair looks way younger 🙂

Does she? I guess it’s the hair colour then, considering the face isn’t changed. ^^

Well, I wonder if the skin tone plays a big role. I mean, will she look older or younger with most pale skin? What do you think?

She’d look healthier, but not really younger or older. If you want her to look older, editing the eyes to be smaller and adding a few wrinkle lines near her mouth and/or eyes, should do the trick. At least, that’s what the XP RTP does for old people.
