This character started from something unexpected: revisiting my own older artworks.
I used one of my daily sketches from early 2026 together with a previous traditional painting as the main references to build a completely new character.
The goal wasn't just character design, it was also a study of natural sunlight, color temperature, and colorful cast shadows under harsh daylight.
I always enjoy looking back at my older work. Sometimes the best references are the ones you've already created.
