shiorinya
shiori as a cat girl just makes a lot of sense to me. Plus, two colored cat ears are just super cool.
I gotta say, I really expected myself to draw nerissa, but once I looked at her reference sheet I just kinda went "lol nah I'm good" LMAO. So I started with shiori instead. Every time I looked at her ref sheet, though, I saw something else to add. Like the earrings are there, but they really blend in with the hair. Not sure what I could have done to make them better. I tried to curve her... shuriken? hair accessory to the curve of her head but well, that was tough too LMAO. I also had a hard time telling what her rings looked like, so they kinda came out half baked. Next time I really want to try and make them look better.
Anyways, I'm satisfied with this. Also, there's no other variations this time.
