scrapped loui portrait

sketches for loui's true portrait. i made both adventuring outfits to help me decide which i wanted to go with for her "canon" design ... but i really just can't choose ... left is more clownish, but right is more neutral / appropriate for day-to-day travel ...... sighhhhh ...

in any case, i thought this pose was fun but ultimately not really good for an illustrative piece ... the angle obscures her leather chestpiece & the legs make the clothes around her waist a touch unclear. so i'm posting it here for posterity, but will be attempting to make an equally charismatic yet boring drawing to show my group.
