Fightgeist is just a Ghost recolor, so whatever. I’m going to take this time to talk about hats. A hat on its own is easy enough to understand the geometry of but drawing a hat on a head properly can get surprisingly hard. Its very easy to think of a skull as just a hidden thing under hair/ears, but you don’t balance a hat on your hair. It wraps around your skull. So if you’re like me, who always draws their characters face-first and goes nutso with giant anime hair, drawing a hat is a giant wake-up call that you need to pay attention to where the skull is. Fightgeist has no hair (?) so its easier to figure out how the hat rests.
Also, with wide-brimmed hats you gotta factor in the angle of the brim and that can be tricky.
