For these original character portraits, I wanted to make it seem as if they were getting their professional photo taken. I went as realistic as I could.
I drew these eyes before the portraits, and actually used the eye of each character in my final drawing.
These portraits I did a few months later. I wanted them to be in a similar style, but these three characters were born in another era from my first four portraits. I gave these a more traditional, royal look, versus a military, governmental look.
