Sketch 5 of 5!
I don’t know anything about either of these two characters. I was surprised to learn that Liza was an established character when I thought she was just a random background character in the Journey to the East story Arc.
In looking up reference online I saw an old panel where she had the little rings around the shoulders like Espio’s original design. I think its a bit of a downer that the redesign of Espio lost this unique detail but it paves the way for Liza to better stand out.
For the first four sketches I was using some Prismacolor grays on them this time around I didn’t have the markers with me when I finished the drawing so I thought this one being the last and containing two characters I’d throw some color on it.
This actually presented a lot more trouble than I anticipated mainly because I couldn’t find decent enough reference on the both of them. So details like their spikes and stuff, they may be wrong.
