Iseult's new general reference sheet just dropped...

[springsodas]

And she's looking better than ever.

For starters, I finally settled on the proportions for her legs—I'm trying to make her thighs, calves, and feet about the same size since that's what looks nicest to me and I think it does a lot to emphasize her speed. She also looks like she has proper "hair" now! The original way I drew her 'do was not only difficult to draw, but also kinda made it look like she had a bunch of paint brushes attached to her head, so I'm happy to finally give her a style that looks like something a human would cut their hair in while still maintaining the general shape. 

Beyond that, it's mostly just minor tweaks. She no longer has a dagger attached to her thigh, but that's because A) I was getting sick of drawing it there and B) it's instead strapped her backpack, which I plan to make a separate reference sheet for and her other alien gear/tech. I still struggle with making her gauntlets look like actual gauntlets, but thickening the sleeve/cuff part is a start at least XD

When making this, I was testing out a new pen I downloaded off Clip Studio Assets called the O-Pen by a user named Oyunorka... I definitely like it as a potential lineart pen, although I'm still getting used to it. (I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and use textured brushes rather than round ones. Does so much to make the lineart look more natural.)
