Plus a couple of references for the pose/outfit. Shad's first outfit was the same way, as I had tossed out several attempts over the years of full body portraits of the Hyperions due to so much purple. Maria took three-to-five hours, due in part to the reference(Illya from F/SN) having a perfect default pose(and height). It's a bit easier with Maria due to still being a kid, that means her full portrait is a little under 3 inches, coming in at about 2.8 inches. It's one reason why Lennox is half finished, because he's over 4 inches, at 4.17 inches in height.
I've always wanted to do them due to seeing some people, mainly Merc, on old FEP due full body sprites years ago. I never had an attempt that satisfied me until I did the Fremy Speedraw one back on page 8. It kinda makes sense, in a way, as the original normal portrait of Fremy that I did on page 2 last year spurred on essentially the last ten pages of this thread.
You have such good patience: I get frustrated if my sprites don't resemble what I want after about half an hour, but I've never been good with anything artsy except for writing!
Keep doing what you're doing, because you do such an awesome job =D
I work at a self scan station at a grocery store. I need to have patience when dealing with customers going through there.
