i decided to try this with Willow. btw i have art block so ignore the slight wonkyness*
You can make your half of the backround colored if you want, and you can make Willow look a bit different (e.g mild fur tufts)
Also, you can do different poses and positions if you want, but keep it as a headshot.
*oh god what happened to Willow
i shouldnt draw with artblock
