loui portrait

my second attempt at a portrait for loui -- this one i'm much happier with. the pose showcases her outfit more, which was my goal; i also fused the two outfits i was debating into one, which doesn't look quite as clean but still manages to be readable & distinct.

before finalizing, i tried swapping some of the blue & red so that it was more traditionally jester-y, ie. was more a checkerboard look than a 50-50 split look. i didn't think it was as appealing, though, so i just stayed with this.

i hope she looks fun ... i've spent so long agonizing over her that i can't tell anymore lol.
