Volleyball Kei Redux
Alright, so Kei was the winner of the Patreon Poll for november. And I was going through some older work of mine to see how I'd drawn her in the past. I wanted to see what worked and what didn't. I got to this piece and it seemed unfinished. Making it look complete felt like an itch I needed to scratch. So, after noodling for about 2 hours here we are. I solidified the lighting structure and anatomical accuracy. I also saturated the colors a bit. Kei is basically orange in the promo images of Dirty Pair Flash, and I always made her too desaturated. In order to make a better representation of the character I completely redid the coloring and made it at a much higher resolution. Ultimately, I liked this reapproach a lot, which is why I'm going to offer it as a print on my patreon.
