A painting of Shantae! The Shantae games are filled to the brim with charm and great designs! The franchise is one of my all time favourites! 
An image of the lineart stage, before rendering the lines away for the final look:
I think I’ve come a long way from my previous painting of Shantae from 2019 found in this post: Shantae 5 fanart
I find it so fascinating to see the style change in such a significant way. The one from 2019 and the new one had different goals, but overall I see a positive change with stronger shapes, more confident colours and better posing. I find seeing the progress the most inspiring thing in art!
