By "kick a little ass", I assume you mean kick someone's ass back into proper alignment with their spine.
As for crits, her outfit is difficult to make out, that is, it's a little hard to tell what's going on there. I think that a lot of the time, our minds will see what they expect to see, but here I don't know what a ChiroSuit looks like, so I'm having trouble figuring that part of it out.
(Did that make any sense? Too many brownies at the Radiohead show last night.)

Oh~ a new Sals-style-sprite. =) Aaanyways, as Samson already mentioned, her outfit is a bit difficult to make out ( due to its colours, I'd guess- a typical doctors assistent coat-thingy,right? ^^"); maaaybe you should ... uhm... ehr... *thinks* ... modify the coat a little bit? Also, her right arm seems thicker(& thus slightly out of place) than her right.
Aand... uhm... (because of the face) the sprite doesn't really looks that female to me... ... *runswithdraws& hides in a safe distance from Sals*

Yeah. And that doesn't mean I'm dating a man-woman, in fact this sprite doesn't look all that much like her in general. I still hafta tweak it, but I think I might try to make a game starring her for GBA in a 24-hour art streak. My idea is there are a bunch people wandering around with bad backs. She goes up and begins performing adjustments. How this is done is by arrows (up, down, left or right) flashing across the screen. To keep adjusting them, you hafta press each direction before the next one appears. Miss one or press the wrong direction and the patient (as all real chiro patients do) will flee and run around the room going "Owowowowow!" until you catch them again and finish the session.
As for her jacket, it's okay, you can say it -- boobs. I played with that in the design, but it looked too much like a generic outfit. She's wearing what she does for clinic each day -- a black T-shirt, trendy black slacks and basically a doctor's white top (with the big-assed collar). Probably still needs a little refinement, but it'd make more sense in animation.
If I do end up making more, I'll post.

"As for her jacket, it's okay, you can say it -- boobs. " Wasn't refering to that... not all drawn/pixeled females have to be like some/many anime-charas who are defined by well, two giant wobbly silicon-fat-mutations ... T_T" It was more like "ah, I have no helpful idea how to change the jacket. But sure, "well" defined breasts can help to distinguish between man & woman- but they don't have to. best example would be Ps2 male&female sprites. very similar in build. Only cloths and hair('n I think the hands) are making the difference here. It all depends on the sprite. *shrug*
"Yeah. And that doesn't mean I'm dating a man-woman," ... I was referring to the sprite.
But... whatever. The game. Sounds fun.
~Faerith~ *who will from now on use extrem semantics in anything she writes- unless she forgets to* =P

Here we go. Much better art and it looks more like her now (actually, a LOT like her. If anyone was ever curious, yup, this is pretty much how my honey looks). Sure, Ken. Edit your head off. - Adam

Nice. It's looks great-- big improvement. I don't like the blue-ish tint to the hair though... contrasts against the sprite. Maybe it's the green background? Either way, I think a reddish tint would owrk better here.

I much prefer your edit with the new hair.
Also, I think you may be onto the next big thing in medical care. With health care out of reach for many Americans, this type of game could be the last option for many sick or injured people. In addition to the Chiro Panda game, you could create a full suite of medical titles, such as Gastro-Intestinal Panda, Ear-Nose-and-Throat Panda, Procto Panda, etc.
Hmm, now that I think about it, as stupid as the above sounds, I'll bet that there actually may be medical potential there. Example: Take a little kid with cancer. Poor little kid is toughing it out through chemo, trying to keep a good attitude. How cool would it be if there were games these kids could play, that were essentially metaphors for them fighting their diseases. It could put them in control of the situation, let them kick the cancer's ass. When I was at Penn State, there was an enormous philanthropy called the Four Diamonds Fund that raised money for kids with cancer at Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The name for the fund came from a story one of the kids had written about a prince (read: patient) had to collect four diamonds in order to defeat an evil (disease) that was menacing his kingdom. Sound like a game to anyone yet? Yeah, to me, too.
Sorry Sals for getting so off-topic on you here, but what started as a ridiculous, smart-ass "I like the edit" comment veered into territory that may be not-so-very ridiculous at all. I'd be interested to hear what others think of this idea.

Nice one, Kenneth. I really hafta learn the whole hair highlite thing some day that people like you and Pep have down so well. Here's a revision off Ken's. I changed her hair color (as did she, wink) and made a coupla minor changes. I guess animation comes next, eh? And Samson, I would be all up for that kinda stuff. In fact I took a seminar once on writing for children's books and they mentioned how the number one thing that needed more coverage was dealing with illness. I think it'd also be a lot easier to translate into a videogame without the suckiness some of the ill and differently-abled characters have had in other creative venues like comic books (ie, picture a kid who's wheelchair-bound but can use the chair in a myriad of ways, transformations, etc). Now all I need is to get someone to pay me to make it. - Adam EDIT: Oh, and it'd be called "Chiro Panda" because her secret move is turning into a giant panda bear (she's Chinese) which allows you to adjust 2x as fast temporarily.

Much improved. Though, if she's chinese, shouldn't her hair be darker? Like black, except for the highlights?
