A New Portrait!

Now, time for something we haven't seen in a little while: a portrait! This girl is working on the first Tai Ming zone and her sprite was added by Fred the other day:

Because it was such a long time since I made the last portrait, I had a lot of fun with this one, and put in way too many details. If it's one thing I've learned after making 100+ portraits for this game, it's that adding tiny details in the hi-res version of the portrait is a total waste of time - it'll all get mushed together in the tiny version anyway, and it'll actually take a long time to fix that mush afterwards as well! Oh well - fun was had regardless, so I'm happy ;)
