I've taken to drawing simplified, cartoony versions of characters when I'm redoing them, to get a quick feel for how their new designs and color schemes work (or don't work, whichever the case may be).

So here's Mirari again! This time with something a bit closer to some of her earlier incarnations, but with the addition of a long flowy ponytail as well as a set of weights on her wrists and ankles. The idea being that the weights are really, really heavy, and she throws them off when shit gets real. It's all very anime.
