Been doing style studies of various artists that have done a lot of work for JRPG games, like Akihiko Yoshida, Naoki Ikushima, and others. I have always adored this style and how it feels so storybook like. I took a stab at it and drew my OC Sashna in that style.
What was really cool to find out was how naturally the style came to me in terms of the shading and the chibi-like appearance. It really was not that far off from how I typically draw traditionally. And thanks to all the amazing brushes out there, I was able to capture the look I was going for.
As for the brush, I was using the Clean Ink brush from Madeleine Bellwoar’s Children's Illustration Brush set.
Anyway, hope you folks like it!
