For the Ghost in the Shell theme, I've been working to redraw a panel from Shirow's original manga. I've been trying to redraw the Major and find a look that is more my own, while still keeping the feel of the original character. You can see from the reference image I have, that the fashion is very 80's (wide shoulders, high waste line, wrap around glasses, feathered hair... etc.) I tried to keep the bulky proportions but with a more modern slightly military feel.
So here are the sketches and studies I have so far. I still will take the drawing into Photoshop and mess around with proportions a bit more.
