The last of the concept sketch re-dos. I have an interesting history with the old concept sketch I did of this one back then. Around that time (still 2018) I finally got myself some Micron pens and started using them for inking.
I have something of a history with drawing one-half of this duo, Yuzuruha. This wouldn’t be the first time I would draw her. Some time ago I did in fact draw her and she was posted online. However the circumstances around its posting left me unsatisfied.
Shirley was a little difficult to nail down design-wise, even back then. Hailing from the original Pilotwings on the SNES, we see her mostly in portrait form in course 2 and 6.
The next several concept sketches going up on the BFA have all been redone from concept sketches dating back to 2018. I basically wanted to bring them all up to par with my currently level, as well as finish some that remained incomplete all this time.
It was only a matter of time before I’d start tackling the original waifu herself, Lum from Urusei Yatsura. This is actually the second character I’d draw from the manga/anime series, with the first one being Ataru’s Mother.
Here’s something I finally get to talk about in full after many, many months. For those not in the know, Wu-Ruixiang is one of the new characters in Samurai Shodown, wielding a shield among a roster full of mainly sword fighters.
Another in an overdue list of characters I plan to draw, here’s Piranha from Jet Set Radio. And a rare move, I had to do this digitally after I botched the traditional coloring session.
Well this is bound to be late! 2020 was quite the trying time for everyone, even yours truly. This year is setting up to be my slowest output year since my “return” in 2014.
