Doodles 162 (Patreon)

Been wanting to redesign Maria for a while now since it hasn't really been sitting right with me since the start of the year when I showcased the other dungeon girls. It was making me kinda hesitant to draw her more since I could tell I wanted to change it. Now that I've done a lot more thinking on her design and armor, I think its in a much better place XD The kettle hat plus falling buffe lets her hair and eyes peek out which should allow for a little more expressiveness even while armored up, and a lot of the armor has been simplified to be easier to draw without losing the practical and grounded vibes. That little pop of red with the gambeson too, I love it, the armor before had too much metal on metal and just kinda felt like one big shape. Now you can feeeeeell the layers. I'll have to design some casual clothes for all three of the dungeon girls at some point too but for now I feel confident enough in all three designs that I want to start doing some mini comics with the group. I'll try thinking up something small for the next doodles!
