welcome to the compound
Still stickin’ with that sketching daily exercise, in spite of how it *looks* here. I put my stuff up on Twitter in a hurry as I finish and forget to mirror her way too often lately. I should probably get an earlier start on it so I don’t just toss the sketches up then crash for the night. :p
I’ts been an encouraging week, lots of good feedback and interest in general in m work for logos and icons around the Twitch communities I’ve been bumming around in.
I haven’t drawn my take on the Guardian Legend protag in a while, from the remake I always wished I could make. I called her Miriya after the official Japanese name for her, but you know, with a Y inserted. At the time, there seemed to be a few “fanon†names for the character floating around, like for instance “Alyssa†seemed to be a popular one while I preferred just “The Guardian†to be safe.
I actually set out to design her in kind of a middle ground between battle-kini and a more practical armor set that would let her transform into a fighter jet mode without just hanging out the bottom, but it was kind of ‘cheaty’ in that it had the hip armor expand over the upper legs.
(Now that I look at her again she kind of feels like a pallete swap of Galaxy Fraulein Yuna, but I think I’m okay with that.)
Done live in MyPaint. Picarto has like the best random watchers. Tonight someone suggested I give Krita a shot, so I’ll probably have a Test Pattern Lina to post tomorrow as I try that out.
