This is a fanart i started working on for someone on dA to go along with one of her stories, so the original style started out more Anime-ish. But with how much work i'm putting into the actual piece now I'm turning it into a portfolio piece for school so I'm gradually pushing the character more towards realism.
I still have a lot of work on the background to do and pillars (putting it off as long as possible o.e). For the character I'm going to redo the eyes since everyone at school insists they're still Anime-ish. So once those are done i have to move them down a bit cause the nose looks too long.
Any other suggestions on what can be done to improve it? :o
