Another redraw in the current style. I think the Hirschfeld inspired style is the way to go. Also, adding shadowing gives the characters a little extra oomph. I think Crow here especially looks a bit more European which doesn't bother me a bit. Keeping things smooth and flowing will make it more interesting to work in the Japanese aesthetic I also want for page layout. Anything that excites me to draw and get this thing going is good. Looking back through all the prelim stuff I've done for this shows, I think, a lot of growth. Let's hope it pays off. Haven't had to do this before.
