Project Synopsis:

 Overall the project was much more time consuming than I gave it credit for. I'm pleased with the outcome, since the character herself looks great and I believe is fairly balanced in terms of personality. For the next character, I need to find ways to streamline the time it takes to develop, since I end up doing most of the work on my home machine where I have access to my other art program. I need to find ways to use my time in class better, when I only have access to photoshop. Perhaps that means lining & basing the images in PS. Either way, the project was time consuming but I think the outcome makes it worth it.
