look that way

Kiea!

For those just tuning in, this is ~KieaEvergreen007's character in our 7-years-in-the-making novel/story/thing, Dragon Raiders.

After tackling that Merida picture I did a couple days ago Kiea's rather modest curls in comparison didn't daunt me anymore. Not many changes with her design in this one, though I did make her skin a shade darker and give her some freckles (because... everyone loves freckles!) Also, shorter ears mostly because I fail at ears.

Although rather generic expression and pose, I love how the shadows and the back-highlights turned out. I tried giving her hair highlights as well, but A. they didn't turn out the way I wanted, and B. it wouldn't fit in the theme I've already established.

Inking went a bit faster this time, but that's probably because I didn't define the hair as much as the last three.

Next up is... Braenna or Cookie!
