As it turns out, it is very hard for me to do blonde characters. As someone with incredibly strong biases toward brown hair, I find myself reverting to darker shades time and time again.
This NPC character for a TTRPG game in particular was created with the "17-18th century cat-themed French swashbuckler bimbo" premise in mind. At first, I imagined her blode-ish but once I got to drawing her, I quickly backtracked and reverted to light brown. My girlfriend, however, insisted that I make a recolor so she can see how the character was originally supposed to look like.
So, what do you think? Was blonde ok or is brownish better?
