Empress Saya - Panel Process (Patreon)

I've always love drawing Saya, Clove's mother but unfortunately I don't always get the chance to do so. Design wise she's very similar to Clove but with a far more aggressive aura. (Even her pupils are sharper if you look closely). ^^ Special thanks to my assistant Tanvi for doing such a nice coloring job! 

I knew the initial chapters of Season 3 would feel a bit "slower" since I wanted to dive deeper into the Azure clan and Clove's life growing up in the palace. Personally, I think it adds a much deeper layer to Clove's character and shows how much control was placed on her. 

For those of you who read FP ep 176, what did you think? (Please try to avoid spoiling anything in the comments)! ^^
