Playing with my charcoal pencils again... though this time I also used a crappy ballpoint pen for inking a bit. Big mistake, because I decided I hated Shesta/Chesta's right eye and had no choice but to white it out and redraw it closed (it was originally open, I liked it better this way). Anyway, the whiteout caused that slight blurry weirdness.

I dunno why I went and added the wings. They're not meant to look anatomically realistic or anything, they're just there because I felt like it, so I didn't try to make the feathers look all that... feathery.

I actually rather like the charcoal for doing the Ryuugekitai uniform... it's much easier than inking in all the black leather and having to worry about highlights.
