🧇 This is Behind the Stuffs!

This piece specifically is something that is a bit more special to me compared to the other art and it's something I didn't even notice until making Arky's sketch page. This is done right after that, to prove what I was doing is correct... as a wind-down done too much...

...and it shows! I apparently improved in posing characters and getting some anatomy down. So, instead of just standing there, they're actually bent slightly towards the railing, giving weight to that. That's some subtle detail there.

Of course I do want to prove that but there are 3 images for a reason. It's the same piece of art, but 3 attempts, done in reverse order.

1. This is the initial draft, (aka image #3 in the post) showing a Kaiera without their glasses. I stopped this one when I realized they're sized differently compared the reference.

2. This is the second attempt. If fixed the proportions to what I intended in the first place, but in this attempt I ignored what I was doing in the first place in favor of proportions, losing its charm that I wanted to show in the first place.

3. The final attempt (aka image #1) which fixes all of that, and a bit more. I did want to try my hand at outlining the environment this time and I think it worked good.

Yes, this is literally a moment where I scrap a finished piece because I was literally not satisfied.

Either way, it was really fun to do this, including the do-overs!
