Anyway, after studying up on Evie's art I think I finally managed to draw her a little more correctly...I hope? My trouble was, I was drawing her too soft and rounded. Spark (and therefore Krissy) is much pointier than I was capturing.
Since the plot of Loose Canon is a parody of the shojo Magical Girl genre, I ran to the other end of the spectrum and drew her UBER DESU KAWAII GIRLY. And I experimented with screentones!
One important aspect of the Magical Girl genre is that the heroine is almost always an "average schoolgirl" by day. Regular girl lifestyles (as regular as Krissy's gets, anyway) calls for regular girl outfits! Evie gets the final say in these, so consider these "pitches." XD I designed her casual outfit around some items Evie has already suggested and the general look of Spark's super hero costume (the tall boots, snug fit and long sleeves), because according to the BOOK the magical girl's costume should be derived from her regular, every day outfit.
The comments on this started off in third person, but once I started working on her school uniform, I began to imagine what Krissy's...opinions might be.

*hyperventilates* I LOVE IT! AHHHH! The top picture is win and the middle picture is so pretty it doesn't even look like her but it's great and the screentones are awesome. BUT HER PICTURES ON THE BOTTOM ARE FANTASTIC I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! :D YAYAYAYAY! Those are canon now because I love them ^W^ THANK YOU!!!
<3 <3 <3 >w< So glad you like! I can't wait to see how you'll draw her in these outfits! I should draw more cleaned up versions myself. I never design modern wardrobes so this is actually a little exciting. :D
Ooh! Will you draw Kyle in his uniform?
Oh yeah, I guess Kyle would have one too. XD That comic I drew of them makes no sense then. Okay, I'll get on it!
That's OK, it's all part of the development process! Think of all the rough drafts and scrapped versions every Disney movie goes through. I know that makes me feel better about changing my mind.
Business casual loafers. For loafing casually at businesses. *snrk*
