I decided to start drawing my characters to make a character reference sheet instead of just having sprites of them. I never actually drew full body shots of them ever either, so that's a pretty big problem. I'm hoping that this set of drawings that I'm starting will act as finalized character designs for my game. This is the first drawing that I completed today of the protagonist of Panache.

Uh, it isn't exactly finished and I need to get around to coloring it, but I did something. I feel pretty good about finishing something this far too! I was pretty nagger to myself and tried to get myself to not use references like I always do for drawings like this (Well, okay, I looked at my hand but hands are hands).

These are some of her sprites if you're interested in her color palette, I guess.

I plan on redoing the way I do rendering/coloring on the sprites, so I won't post a finished sprite hhh.

XIE XIAOAI

She has a studded Texas belt. It's the LONE STUD STATE. And a Wu Tang autobiography so she's totally hip, she'll never trip, just don't expect her to tip, because she'll never take a dip in your… lip slip?

i also did it with a mouse and oh god

i really do love her belt though it's…

Canon: The Texas belt is a female.
