Not that I really need a reason to draw everyone's favorite Protagonist of Protagonists in Goddess form (and in her signature gown from episode 1 of the anime), but I felt it was only necessary for's birthday. I was tempted to draw his OC or include his logo, but I wasn't sure I was allowed. I was also gonna throw a little pantsu as well (for those extra brownie points), but settling on an anatomically satisfying pose proved to be quite difficult. Actually, I'll admit even this pose is slightly awkward. Originally I was aiming for a leaning forward pose, but it got mixed with a looking up in a sitting pose. In the end though, it's up to the viewers to interpret.As for any last minute artist insight, I've gone and once against changed my shading technique. It's probably more of a case-by-case thing, but I tried to start with dark shade as the base and cut out the lighter bits; it certainly makes it quicker to get a barring down on the basic shape of the body, that's for sure. Also, I figured out how to utilize Reference layers, which again makes coloring exceptionally quick. Of course, I still lack a lot of the basic techniques of a traditional artist, but I'm sure those will come with practice, right? ...Right?Anyway, as always, hope you enjoy!Estimated time spent: 2dMusic listened to: n/aDrawn using a CTH-460 Wacom Bamboo tablet in CLIP STUDIO PAINT
