As you can see, things weren't looking too good at the beginning. Almost made me want to quit outright. However, the potential this piece drove me to push onward.

After a quick 10 minute rework days later, I managed to improve on the first iteration by a significant amount. At that point, I was determined to see this project through. The sketch marks were replaced with clear cut lines and it began to look like the end product.

The next step was to give a nice contour and permanently cement how it would look. I was very hesitant at first, but I convinced myself it had to be done at some point. It would never get done if I continue making change after change.

Adding a bit of fluff and fur to the drawing helped tremendously. Gave the characters more dimension and roughness. I also finished the text up top, meaning I had to move on to the characters. Liz was easy since her design was prexisting. Ani however was still undetermined. After tinkering around with photocopies, I managed to pick colors I liked best and stuck with that. And wouldn't you know it, things turned out okay.
