Surprise for Minque! Options

[MerGirl]

Here, I have attempted to draw....

Serene! Happy birthday to your son, Minque, and belated birthday to you! Thank you for your words of kindness and encouragement. You're awesome, Minque! :goodjob:

Now, I hope I have drawn Serene as you have envisioned her to be, a kind and strong woman, so I hope you like it. :embarrassed2:

(Please excuse the lightness on the hair and other parts. For some reason, my scanner made the picture look much, much lighter, despite my efforts to darken the lines. :shocked: )

[quote=Konradude]wow like lit! Where did you get that drawing style from?[/quote]

It's an anime art style. It's what I usually draw. Sometimes, I look at game magazines or anime magazines to get some ideas for different eyes/hairstyles/poses/etc. However, for Serene, I used the reference picture in the Introduction thread, as well as my usual anime-style to draw as close to the reference piccy as I can.

The hardest thing to do is to make an older person with my kind of cutesy-anime-artstyle.

EDIT: Thank you, Minque! You're sweet, too!
