Fixing up Vale

This is one I started at the beginning of the month, but I really disliked the colors. I tried to remedy some things today:

Here’s how it looked before:

2013.04.4-vale-wip2

Something about it still dissatisfies me, though – I think when I did the original drawing I didn’t plan it very well so the composition is blah, and even though I tried to fix some things it might not be fixable at this point without just doing a new drawing, which maybe I should do instead.

Or maybe I’ll just crop it, because I did like how the head was turning out:

2013.04.4-vale-wip

When it’s just the head there are some parts about the color I like better in the before version than the after:

I forgot I also started this last night. I’ve finally got a name for this character. Vale! One of my few girl characters who actually looks somewhat girly.
