Here's the initial sketch, final inks, and color stages. I did some tweaks to this final one because there was just something off with it- so I messed around until I felt it was actually print worthy and as good as I could possibly get it. I changed her eyes a bit, removed the bauble from her far ear cuz it was just throwing something off- no idea how to explain it. Added more hair in that place to fill it up more, striped her tail and made her accessories all clean white because the contrast between her and the colorful backdrop was just too much. As for the backdrop, used some halftone in place of the crystallized texture and messed with the colors some more. I think....maybe I'm happy with it now?? I think I might dislike the clutter of the floating whiskers, but I worry taking them out might make this design bland- I'm really not sure. I liked the original concept of the features floating around her. Hm, oh well, this is what it is now, haha- I'll just focus on the next redraw instead of obsessing over this one.
