Love this style. Reminds me of Kenichi Sonoda's drawings. I think you nailed the 90's look and the cel like coloring looks great. I'm curious, did you study any character model sheets to draw this?

Thank you so much!! And to answer your question, I mostly just looked at this image:

Cool. You might find looking at the production materials to be interesting to check out too if you haven't before. I haven't taken as much time as I'd like to do many proper studies from character sheets and the like but I would still argue there is some interesting stuff to learn from them.

That's a great idea! tysm!!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
