[Daily Doodle] FFXII - Larsa

@ff_press: [FFXII] justira: Larsa portrait (G)

Daily Doodle: OKAY. I have always found Larsa EXCEEDINGLY difficult. Exceedingly. What I sacrificed in time on this one, well... I'm not sure the likeness makes up for it, but it sure as diddly is the best I've done for him so far. Suggestions on the likeness welcome — I know the lighting/shading is a little funky, and suggestions there are always appreciated as well, but I can generally figure that out if I work at it hard enough, while the secrets of likeness just plain elude me. Anyway. Here he is, my favourite 12-year-old in the universe. (Boy am I having fun trying to write him in the ridiculously political sequel to Alchemies...)
Time: 40-50 mins

[Daily Doodle] FFVI - Edgar (SFW)

Daily Doodle: Thank you all for your awesome feedback on Larsa! Really helping me figure this likeness business out =D

Today! Today I decided to torture myself. I am actually really, really terrible at getting an exact likeness out of my head and into a drawing (read: look forward to more attempts). And I don't think I've ever before attempted a realistic-ish version of an established character that doesn't already have a realistic-ish render or something like. So this was an adventure. This doesn't really look like I imagine him in my head, but I'm hoping it's at least identifiable.

I'm putting up both versions, just for fun. Please feel free to share your own interpretations and/or make suggestions! =D Thanks to lassarina for catching a problem and for suggestions after my first version!
Time: ~30 mins for the first version, then about 3-4 mins of adjustments
