Sometimes I original character.
Anyway, here’s some rough head sketches of the protagonist of the collaborative magical girl story me and my rl friend came up with a while back. (And yes, while the original premiere of Madoka did get us thinking about the idea, just on the merit of “I forgot that magical girls are a really fun concept to explore” if nothing else, this has nothing to do with the medukas.) We’re not really working on it actively right now, but I still love the characters we came up with and I tend to doodle them on and off (‘specially Akiko because she’s my babeh, metaphorically speaking).
I designed Akiko before really defaulting fully to the art style I used to reserve only for Mother fanart, though, so the main reason I decided to do this was figure out how the hell to draw her again. X3
