I'm not sure if I should change her iris color as she gets her eye sight back or not. I realize that her eye color is meant to be kind of like the hazy color that some blind people have, but I do think it is a pretty color and the dark pupil is meant to keep that color and visually show that her eyesight is coming back. What do you think?

I only now realize that the golden GLOW could be mistaken for something else that is golden. Trust me in the render, it will make sense.

Final Chapter. Less than 20 Pages to Flat.

Sorry for the brief hiatus, I decided to put all of my focus on getting those commissions done. I've learned I can't really do more than one thing at a time. Well... I can... its just that the end product for all of the things I'm only partially focused on winds up being much worse.

Edit: updated with newer and more refined version. Kept the old version for the sake of comparison and posterity. Also added "desert" background.
Over the years I've picked up a lot of techniques from other artists that I've tried to implement in every single piece I do and I think that has made my work worse. It isn't that the advice was bad or the techniques were bad. The exact opposite in fact. What was bad was my decision to use advice from artists with competing ...
BG and No BG I initially thought I'd do a Cel shaded version of this, but as the render went on I decided to do the soft rendering style. The Client had a very specific lighting and pose request and I attempted my best to approximate it.

And here is a soft style rendering I did to keep my skills sharp for Toph Heavy. I'm going to step away from it for a few days so I can approach it again with fresh eyes.
What are your thoughts?

Things are coming along nicely.
Get it?

I'm going back and forth as to how to render this. Cel shade or soft render. Here's where I'm at with it. I'm taking the cel shading as far as I can, and then if I decide to go soft I can convert it pretty easily. There's just something about the harsh shadows that fits art inspired by Castlevania better.
I dunno. What do you think?

Hey guys. Sorry about the break last week. Family was visiting and I couldn't find time to get any work done. (Honestly, I'm worried I was a bad host because I was sleeping so much while they were here.)
We'll get back to our regular schedule now.
Commissions are forth coming, I'm just kinda stuck with the render. Trying to figure out what looks best.
It continues. I just really wanna get this *all* flatted before I start rendering. Only two more chapters to go.
