Finished banging my head on the desk.. for now.

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!

[Zyanya]

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!
