Constantly ill apparently

For the past couple of months I've been constantly getting ill. Any time I recover, something else hits me. It sucks and it's making me lazy.
But at least I did this.
I think this is the outfit I'll be sticking with. The fur shawl will probably have animal bits stuck to the end of it, as was the fashion apparently, but I didn't draw it in. 
I'll probably change the earrings to inverted triangles instead of ovals. That way they'll match the necklace and will also have a more Deco-y style.
For some reason it took me forever to draw this. I think I work much too slowly. If I do one character concept a week, I won't have time to finish them, let alone do any finished pictures.
Scary stuff.

Also passports. What stress. I've spent a lot of this week trying to get it sorted. The site says it'll come within six weeks of applying, and it better had. If it comes a day later, that's it. No holiday.

  1. I like how you're changing your style. I bet you can't wait for people to stop saying it look like anime! I like the second portrait, it looks like you, Grumpus.

    And pft, look who's talking, Grumpus. "oh baw I'm Jack and I don't want to do things because I'm angry and grumpy all the tiiiime"

  3. It still looks pretty anime though :< The mouth should be wider. On most mouths, the corners come down right underneath the middle of the eyes, here they come down underneath the tear ducts.

    I like these though, the little drawing for how she attacks looks good, although there isn't really much in the way of a line of action.

    Sorry! I'm sorry, I'll quit sassin' your assassin.

  4. I wouldn't say it's -that- anime. Her eyes aren't like plates, her nose has a little flesh to it and she actually has lips. Sure, it could do with some work but I don't think it's so bad. D:

    The line of action is from her right shoulder through to her lef leg.

    I agree that the mouth is small. When I try to widen it she looks like a freak though.

  5. It's mainly the small mouth that's doing it. Also, some of your other characters have eyes that are too big for their skulls. I'm not trying to be a dick, sorry if it's coming across that way!

    I'll disagree about the line of action though. It might be there, but it doesn't suit the action very well. In that movement, she should be leading with her hand, not her shoulder. Thom "Broken Record" Rosell here, look at this picture right here.

  6. Also, check out Art Deco art to see the small mouth and the pout that was common for the era.
