From whimsical to stoic. I imagine this character is a bodyguard, hence why she’s standing to attention. It was only after I finished the drawing did I realise the complexion looked kinda like another character from a game I’ve seen.
I was experimenting with some of the other brushes for shading, especially her tunic, and I’m happy with the final result. Not sure if her nose looks too flat or not. I don’t know where I was going with hairpin design, just something a guard could use as a makeshift weapon if need be.
