After determining the character's weapon and design, I started to draw them up neatly. Since this character would be a recruitable character, I wanted the weapon to feature in her final illustration. I tried to keep the style of this consistent with the protagonist's character illustration, although they are stylised in slightly different ways, similar to Nagano Takuzo's character art for various Level-5 games (Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven, Snack World, etc). I have always found the way Nagano's characters have varied anatomy and features yet all look like they are part of one consistent universe appealing, and although I want to develop my own style and not overlap with Nagano's, this kind of variation in character is something that I would like to be able to portray in my own art.

I began to work on my own character illustration.

Following the completion of this character, I was finally able to put both illustrations together. I think that the style is pretty consistent between the two of them, but is flexible enough for me to display different characteristics on each design. Although the two characters also have different colour schemes, I think the bright accents tie them together.
