I did the thing. It’s nice to feel slightly confident drawing an extreme head angle. It's not super great, but it's not too bad, and that's a real improvement over not long ago.

A little from reference pose practice using a great pose of Gabby from @trueref.bsky.social .
Man my version of her head is real friggin' big. Also, drawing pursed lips is hard. Likeness is impossible, sorry Gabby.
Time to walk into the woods.

This isn't like, an expression of skill, or an exercise in improving my abilities, or even something aesthetic and cool and shareable, but sometimes it's just fun to turn on the symmetry tool and the lightpen brush and go to work…. Sometimes it's fun to spend five minutes drawing a clown angel.

This has been bouncing in my head all day, so I did it. I¡m sorry. (Deleted the first one because it was long and tall and impossible to see).

This is not a Hornet Silksong crest design, but it did make me chuckle. It has POCKETS! (Full of knives).

Some more alternate Hornet Silksong designs for the Wanderer Crest and the Beast Crest.
Only two more to do... And Warrior is mostly the base design so technically, I've already drawn that a bunch!

Friendship with Hornet ended, now Melinoe is my best friend.
I've avoided knowing about Hades II until 1.0 so it's all fresh and new and I'm loving it!

Another @trueref.bsky.social Hornet doodle. Drawing Hornet is a real head empty, zen activity right now.
I'm not sure about these new Procreate brushes but I'll figure out a workflow eventually.

Testing out the new Procreate 2 brushes with my Yuan-Ti PC Yasa.
I need to spend some time working on keeping characters "on model" - Even though I'm finally locking down this design, I cannot draw her looking anything like the same person.
