Just a regular WIP step this time, but it also gives a better view of the leg tattoos:

I did make version with the half up hair for continuity's sake (see second illustration), but felt it made everything feel unbalanced... also went back and forth on the shadow intensity.

I mean the background was still in the sketch phase, but the improvements of Ed and Stede are pretty extreme...

Close-ups without shadows for better look at details.
