Finished banging my head on the desk.. for now. - Zyanya - 08-30-2010
These have been several weeks in the making. Work dominates so much of my free time that these projects have been very long term. Longer than I intended.
I am absolutely terrible at drawing anime-style. I always imagine my characters to be a bit more western-looking, anyway. Although I studied art in Uni it has been a very long time since I've done much of anything. I always need to work from life, so I pulled together a few references and mashed them together. I am a bit old school, so the sketch was done with good old pencil and paper.
My character, Zyanya, and her son, Kakino:

Here is the coloured version. This was done in Gimp and it is my first attempt in about 6 years.

Miqo'te always seemed so adolescent-looking. I was hoping to capture a slightly different perspective.
Honest feedback/comments/criticisms are welcome.

I really like how you drew the young boy. How the cheek is pressed agaisnt his mom's back looks really cool.

I love how you made your Miqo'te look older and more mature. Also, Keeper boy! So cute ^^

I agree with both above comments!
Though the boy looks like he can be a horrible brat for some reason... Wouldn't leave him alone in the living room for too long.

I think it's the teeth.

Kakino is adorable!

Thank you for the comments.
If we had access to the creation of male Miqo'te, I likely would have chosen Kakino as my main. I like his cheeky little fang!
