Queen Dizzy Sketch (Patreon)

Spent all on this and I'm honestly really proud so far. I've also included some initial sketches notes below on my process. Thumbnail: This was a very rough outline I made when I started this piece so that I could keep track of the basic composition and where I wanted things to go. I initially planned to include a set of glowing wings that Dizzy gets during a special move in Strive but they did not fit well into the final composition.

Rough Sketch 1: Honestly...I worked very hard on this and ended up hating it. I feel like she looks so stiff and her face seems too cute and maybe even goofy. Additionally, her proportions are way off in this one, and so much was overlapping and making a mess.

Rough Sketch 2: Took a break and came back really loose and tried not to stick too close to any specific reference I was using. I was very happy with where this ended up going so I built on it for the final sketch! I really liked making Dizzy's hair rising up behind her since I did want to show it off and it helps emphasize the big powers she's channeling.TLDR: Started with a vague sketch, proceeded to make an ugly sketch, then made a good sketch.
