Outfit practice/me wondering why I'm so terrible at drawing proportions consistently when I'm using 3D models for proportions  ^^;

I used a different inking brush for Mira and I think her poses turned out much looser, though it's hard to say if that's because of the brush or because of practice?

Okay, there's a bit of a story here.

When I first drew Mira I knew she'd wear a lot of black and I knew I wanted her to be sunshiny, so I figured that if I made her some sort of mandarin/orange/citrus tree dryad I could have orange as her main colour and that would make her sunshiny.

I have, recently, had a couple of very interesting (and sometimes silly) conversations about apples on discord. So I found myself wondering what Mira would look like as an apple tree dryad. Green eyes? Reddish hair?

I realised, after colouring her this way, that I really like the green eyes! The contrast is very striking, and green can still be a very sunshiny colour (especially paired with orange.)

I'm not going to make Mira an apple tree dryad (there are now a couple of in-story reasons why she needs to be some sort of citrus dryad) but green eyes work for any sort of dryad, I think. So I'm now 99% certain I'm going to keep the orange highlights in her hair, but have her eyes be green instead of orange.

Hence, 7, with green eyes.

(8 is just a random doodle I have nothing to say about 8)

On the subject of things I will almost certainly change at the last minute, I've never been fully satisfied with Flowers & Fangs as a title. I do think it's very fun and catchy, but "fangs" makes me think of vampires/werewolves/etc. and that's not the right atmosphere for this story. It would be a great title for a different story! But I don't know... maybe not for this one... I will keep on thinking about this.
