"Envy" as in Envy, from the Seven Deadly Sins.
This is my interpetation.

Her proportions are meant to be off, though everything except her arms are supposed to be in proportion to everything else.

These are two of my sketches of her - if any has any critique that would be helpful, please share. :3
I'm especially having trouble with her head/face - any hints?

Also her breasts, they are supposed to be really small [flat, pretty much] but I don't quite know how to draw that.

Perhaps for the breasts you can use shading to show that, yes, there is something there, but nothing severe enough that it needs a solid line.

There should be more space between the legs where they come together to the torso. You could also make her have a little more "hip," if you know what I mean. She doesn't need to be curvalicious, but she is a woman, and women generally have hips that are around the same width as their bust, while men have narrower waists and hips than women.

As for her face, her chin would go beneath her lips, not off to the side like you have it now. Otherwise, I think the face on the second sketch is very good, and it definitely help you to demarcate your style. :]
You could also try giving her a few eyelashes if you want her to look "feminine" in the face, but it all depends on what you're going for.

Really good job with the arms, by the way. They add a creepiness to an otherwise normal girl. I really like the idea, too. Yes, a lot of people have sketched her, but they've always made her beautiful. Yes, your Envy is pretty... just in a more twisted, envious way. :] Good job.

Wow, thank you. That's really helpful. :3

God, I hate things like that. Where the problem is kind of obvious, and I see that it has a problem, but I can't tell what - thanks for helping with her face! I'll put more eyelashes on her in the last version, but these were just sketching out the form and whatnot.

As for the breasts, I like that idea. I attempted it in my second one, but I think I could've done a better job with it.

Thanks again!
