I am finally working more on having some references done for my characters. It might still be a bit slow coming, but at least it's starting to happen. If anyone has any suggestions that would tighten up the presentation or anything, please feel free to let me know. Also, I'm honestly not sure whether or not the standard large front/back shots should be shaded or left flat (as I have here). Some people have shaded references and others don't, so I'm not sure what might be best.

So here we have Maple, my moogle girl. In addition to liking wearing costumes a lot, she's also works as an actual custom costume designer/maker in her own studio. She's quite skilled at using magic in general, be it your typical fantasy spells or more mundane things like manipulating objects, and she does sometimes use it to make costume-making a little easier (but not all the time, because making it with your own hands is part of the fun). She's very friendly, but also a little bit naive... and sometimes she doesn't consider just how large her breasts are.

...So uh, that's my first try at making my characters more developed. I'm not a great writer by any means, so I certainly won't claim perfection. I'm totally open to suggestions if others can offer advice or ideas, but at least I think it should serve adequately in the meantime.
