working on a request for a friend

[Gaia]

Well, now that you mentioned that it was a request for a friend, I'm half-expecting people here will start pestering you for requests, I wonder how that will go..

I like the direction you're going in with the anatomy in the new one, good work!

I'm interested in seeing how you'll approach the colors and shading in this one, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for this thread.

As far as shading goes, its not going to be anything fancy, in line with this http://i.imgur.com/0eYWRog.png . Thats more or less my games "official" art style. I might do a side reshade of it however in line with that megaman x redesign from a few pages back.

more progress as well as a comparison to the earliest art of this "iteration" of the design i could find ( ignoring minor design tweaks) for actual artistic progress scale in 2 years. I think i got better at making palettes. I'm unsure which eye style to go with. feedback is always appreciated 

[DioShiba]

I'm somewhat fond of the bottom left set of eyes as far as style is concerned in comparison with some of the other ones. I'm kind of partial to it because it feels more natural compared to the ones above it on both rows and the pupils don't seem like they feel dilated as they are compared to the one on the right. However if being to realistic seems like it could be an issue then I would say the middle right pair since the white in the center of the pupil doesn't seem too out of place.

So basically I'm torn between the two eye styles on the left side. Although I could somehow see a sixth pair of eyes if you consider bringing in elements from both of those two and tweak the juxtapositions of them as your mixing and matching between the elements of those two pairs of eyes, but that's just my sense of thinking.

this should be the last WIP version i post. I think the head might be a tad too big. I mean i'm clearly not going for realism, but even in stylization it might be a bit to big, what do you think?

I don't see anything particularly wrong with it, it seems fairly proportional to me.

EHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its still bothering me, lemme try something...
thoughts?

[DarkGrievous7145]

Eh, if it's bothering you, keep re-working it till it meets your expectations, I guess?

Either looks ok to me, personally
