Including what you see here, I'm currently sitting on 7 or 8 WIPs and I kinda had a hard time choosing what to clean up because most of 'em are really rough sketches. Like, some are just human-shaped blobs with heads, lol. But, since we've only got a little over a week left in February, I figure Samus should probably take priority since she's the winner of this month's vote. ^_^;
Anyway, the two doodles on the right are what I started with, but neither one really looked quite right. I like the angle of the bottom one, but the pose is "bleh" and I didn't feel like tweaking it. Meanwhile, the top one's pose is pretty good, although the angle is bland and there would be a lot of wasted space with her long legs + the funnel positioned above her.
So, that brings us to my third attempt (the big one on the left), which is a combination of the two and what I'll be sticking with for the final pic. It was supposed to be more of an upward angle, viewing her growth from below, but boy, perspective just kicks my ass every time, lol. Some day though.
You can get an idea of how big her belly's gonna get based on these doodles, but I've still got some surprises for this one, so stay tuned. ;)
