Sketch Sidney Being Vulnerable

I did this sketch of Sidney looking a bit vulnerable in a Shoujo Manga drawing style for a bit of contrast. For one thing I have drawn a detailed close up of Sidney since the retcon to her character design and background anyway, and for another it was nice to draw her looking vulnerable and reminding people that even though she is a badass tough as nails catgirl, she's still a girl.

This also adds to the depth her character actually has that I wasn't sure in the early previous attempts at this comic that I had gotten across. She's supposed to be something of a melancholy romantic, and reluctant warrior until its time to fight or love, in which case she enters the fray with reckless abandon, living in the moment. Always being reflective afterward.

Part of the drive is this story and a lot of the reason I'm starting it over is that I wanted to focus on emotional dynamics rather than action (particularly because drawing action sequentially can be rather difficult and frustrating anyway).
