Redesign of Dr. Lalinde for my AU. As cute as the original Archie comic design is I had three objectives: 1.) Draw her looking her age. (She’s supposed to be close to Light and Wily’s age, and in the AU they went to university together.) 2.)Try to give her more distinction to her Filipino ethnicity. (Probably not perfect, but I’m still learning how to adapt that.) 3.) Try to reference the Ruby Spears style. (I imagine her shirt has lovely designs and embroidery like Filipino fashion, but it would have made the line work complicated.) Also I would have given her glasses, but I haven’t figured out how to do that without taking away from the expressions. But I imagine she does have glasses. Maybe in another drawing I’ll have her wear them on a chain.
