Girls sprites?

[Alectric]

lol, i use Apoc's method (if it can be called that) all the time
in fact, here

(she doesnt actually have a name)
she's the ultra chick from kill bill
anyway, i have realised one of my disadvantages as a spriter today. I've realised that the better spriters of the forum seem to know/watch a lot of anime/manga, and are able to recreate that style in there sprites. I dont watch any anime at all, the closest i can get to is pokemon (how embarrassing) so yeah, i dont also play a lot of computer games either (like street fighter)
so i dont really get general char ideas, i just sorta have to think of them without the aid of previous anime/figters
