justira: Agrias Doodle (Agrias) (G)
Daily Doodle: I ran way over today but I was having way too much fun! I was undecided today between Agrias and Dycedarg. One the one hand, Agrias is awesome. On the other hand, Dycedarg totally wears a dress and looks like a giiiiirrrrrl except with super manly facial hair. Dycedarg is going to have to wait for another day, but I realized that I am totally in love with his design -- hair, face shape, awesomely girly but badass costume -- and will totally do him sometime.
But today: Agrias! I wanted to try a more interesting pose, and Agrias is all badass and stuff, so! I used a ref for the pose** and tried to keep it in the FFT style as much as I could. Newsflash: it is really hard to draw a face from slightly below in this style! I tried, but it kind of looks like she has a monster chin.
However! Overall, I think I really like this one! It has potential -- what do you think, guys? Should I clean it up and colour? If you want, feel free to point out errors and stuff here, to help me clean it up later =D (PS: half-assed sword is half-assed. I spent too much time trying to get her pose and clothes.)
Time: 40 minutes! 10 whole mins over, but I was having fun! I'm allowed to have fun with these, right? ._.
**Reference-use policy, in case anyone's interested
For fandom drawings, I almost always use multiple references to get the character details right, but I try to never, ever copy directly from one reference. I always try to make a unique drawing based on a composite of references -- different angle, different expression, moving around, something. I almost never use pose references, but I think I might try this more in the future, to get a better grip on anatomy and action. I usually try to change things around a little even when using pose refs. For non-fandom arts I generally don't use refs -- I use those to practice my off-the-cuff drawing.
