Description
Big Ears, Long Tails (B.E.L.T.)

I commissioned =DarkJak last year for her 100 sketch challenge to do eight of my experimental characters, inspired by Miyume the Muse (respelled Myuze to differentiate from the actual inspiration, the original Muse from Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy).

See the original sketches, number 45 to 52, here:

I was so happy with the way Emma did them that I asked to color them for fun. I was torn between doing them digitally with Photoshop or traditionally with Copics, so I did both.

My only beef is that, in regards to design, she had the personalities and body types switched between Dayne and Bakari -- Dayne is suppose to be the smaller, more timid one, and Bakari's the more taller (but not as big as Lommi) and stern/grouchy one. Still, Emma's interpretations helped me to figure out each character's personalities and body types in later redesigns when I get the chance (need to figure out how to make them more recognizable as silhouettes).

See the Traditional version here:

Program Used: Photoshop CS4

Characters and Image (C) Mira K. Hall
