Another digital watercolor experiment, reverse-adapting this #pixelart card I did earlier this year🦇
I softened the lineart by duplicating it and applying 0.5px gaussian blur. The soft, broad lineart + outerglow reminds me a bit of western works in the style of anime CA 2000 e.g. Magi-Nation.
(Before I coloured the hair I temporarily had it rose, which I kinda liked too... 🤔)

Rendering on the left is inspired a lot by Sugimori's Illustrations CA ~1997-1999. I love the simple effectiveness of this group of illos: they're maybe less stylistically iconic than the ink and watercolor stuff but they're really beautiful. (source in image)
Besides Sugimori's stuff (obviously 😛) I was referencing some of these illustrations for Pokemon Card GB2 for how I approach the colour treatment here. (design aside: the leg strap deck holster is super cool. may try incorporating something like it in other designs)
