家神義郎 Iekami Yoshiro - Redesign Ref Sheet #1

Added 2022-07-02 15:00:00 +0000 UTC

I'm not kidding when I said this took me 3 days - not because of the workload, but purely due to my indecisiveness.

I felt immense pressure redesigning him, Shiro has the biggest fanbase and I'm high key worried any change in his design may upset his fans >< but yeah, I've decided since the start of this year that he needed a new look, the undercut was extremely difficult to work with while drawing Reunion due to how strange it looked in various angles (or that it'd cover his face entirely and that can't work when you're tryna draw his expressions!) Plus, a part of me did outgrow his old design, it may not be obvious but I switched up some of his facial features too! I wanted him to look more adult, have a calm/collected energy and an appearance that makes him look morally grey. Ok idk if the last part makes sense, but if it does, GREAT! XD

I may go back and redesign him again, but I'm allowing myself time to sit on this first. In the meantime, I'd love to hear what you guys think; no wrong answers, this is part of the design process!

Thanks for lending me your time <3 hope everyone is having a great start to July!

P.S. and while working on this, i dug up this old sort-of ref sheet I did of Shiro last year. It feels so long ago dude, if you actually remember this, you da MVP https://www.patreon.com/posts/46816082
