Yeah, screw sad girls in snow. Go for the ones in wind.
Actually, both are the same...
As of recently, I decided to try give Suzu a redesign. Interesting to note this is the first version with actual short hair. I also kept the two longer strands on the sides of the face.
I tried to make her look melancholy in the pic, although my mother gave the comment that she didn't seem to have much emotion. I don't know if that is what I was going for or not. I think so, cause... well, that's kinda her personality in verison 4. Kinda rethought the idea of a hyper genki wai wai character, and said, eh.
It was a cloudy and grey day today. I wanted to make a cloudy and grey picture.
First time I tried to take a photo instead of scanning it. I see a quality drop I think, but at least I'm not straining to fit 6 to 8 pieces together so it's consistent, and still having bends from the edge of the scanner, and brightness differences.
Art and character by me.

She looks awesome. And I like that you took a photo of it. I like it a lot without the piecing together. Its awesome and I like her design and hair. As I always want to say I love your style.
