Akira, who I’ve talked about a little when I first posted the new image.  From another story made with the same friend I did all this vampire business with. 

The image on the bottom in profile is the first one and the only one I ever felt was successful in looking like the character. The current one looks like the right feeling now too, though I think I put too much color in the skin, haha.  

I like Akira more as a little weird and off putting and threatening looking rather than the soft and pretty from the upper old images, but Akira was a favorite for a while, which meant eventually cutesy lovey romancey nonsense had to happen, regardless of character.  

There was a lot more of Akira than I remember, haha.  

Anyway, as with all the others, I went for the vibe and the visual more strongly associated with the character for me, which was that original drawing on the bottom.  Like seeing old friends again, you know?
