So as promised, here is my progress on turning Lauress from an anime style, to a more realistic style.

It has presented many challenges, but nonetheless I am happy so far. Once details such as symbols and wings get added (Oh and don't forget about color!) I am sure she will look a little more familiar!

I really tried to give her pose and expression a very dark feel... The model that I referenced for this truly inspired me to experiment with this. I saw a picture of the model and I thought to myself "She has hips that look just like Lauress's!"
