Kawaii Soft Portraits

Over the last few weeks I have been working on creating a few characters that aren't linked to my writing,

Characters that I can explore some other avenues without tying them to my storylines or worlds,

At the moment I'm quite enjoying Anime and Kawaii influenced things so figured it might be a good starting point,

I've never been too keen on portraits as they aren't something I overly enjoy but I did want to make a good lighting set for these characters too,

I have also been working on texturing as in truth I am hopelessly addicted to it,
