i lean towards pure coincidence, but only out of feeling, not out of any evidence. it is possible that there is some common inspirational ancestor to both of them? interesting find, without a doubt.
edit: i read the gist of the plot from the wikipedia article, and the "girl gets sucked into her video game world after dying" plot basis is very cool and resonates with me somehow. but anime is not my thing, so i doubt i will ever consume this.
basically sara is a blank template. a female caucasian (usually a spellcaster) with blond hair and a blue-ish color scheme. and sara normally has flowing hair, not a ponytail.
make her ponytail red, give her brown skin and a green color scheme, and call her Kara.
although now that i look at her again, i have no idea how she is supposed to pull the trigger the way she is holding the gunstock.
nice. i have been looking for a decent humanoid base that is cc0, so my derivative works could be released as cc0 as well.
i will second MedicineStorm's request for pngs, even though commander did it already in comments, adding the png will make it useful for those who don't use aseprite or libresprite.
go ahead and lock it MedicineStorm. i see no positive from keeping this thread open.
i am sorry that i told that person to commit suicide. i get passionate in speaking out against what i see as bigoted behavior and language.
just lock it, and let's leave it at that. noone was participating in this challenge anyways. :)
and EDIT: all this was ever meant to be was an open-ended community challenge, intentionally wording it in a way that would both not offend AND welcome any individual person's definition of femaleness. that includes ephesians "biological" definition. i never wanted this to be about policy or the administration of policiy (ie politics) or the relative merits of gender identity / reproductive social roles.
i just wanted to see some kick-butt female protagonists. if i had wanted to edit my original post i would have fixed my typo in the word "sexiist" ;)
i will not post again in this thread if it is left open, nor participate in this now "politicised" discussion.
again i am sorry to have participated in flaming ephesians with invitations for them to commit suicide. that was impolite to say the least, and hateful if taken literally. don't kill yourself ephesians. please stay alive.
Here's another challenge for the community. No timeframe, no winners. Original or derivative, any license.
Create a female main character in any style, genre, etc. It is up to you to determine what "female" means, whether that is reproductive identity, gender identity, feminine physical or character traits, etc. Bonus points (points mean nothing) for non-traditional interpretations. I ask that you please don't use sexiist or exploitative depictions of "femaleness" in your art, but I obviously have no power over you or what you produce.
Tag your submission with "Female Protagonist" and link to your submission in this thread.
Where is the word hero at? Draw as many rocks as you want, give them breasts or whatever you want. I'm done feeding the trolls.
the site is correct. mp3s are the devil.
This is pretty cool. I particularly like the beholder-inspired-but-clearly-not-the-beholder
major metal slug vibe. i love it!
it's gonna be based on this prototype

i recommend cleaning up the linework a bit before you post, to maximize your art's usefulness.
