Ryuko touch up progress EDITED (Patreon)

Edit: I've consecutively added each different touch up I've done. Order from newest to oldest.

A big benefit to patreon is it prevents me from publicly posting art right away.

Which means I can go back and make changes to produce a better piece.

The top pic is the current Ryuko (I updated the original post here on Patreon.) And the pic below it is the first draft of the Ryuko.

I adjusted shading on her breast and shoulder, added extra little details here and there, moved her belly button, adjusted color balance to add more warmth and softness, changed lineart intensity in certain places, and added some contrasting cool colors in the shadows.

I think it looks WAY better now.
