Dance Lessons

I had this loose sketch of a female from behind sitting around, and wasn't sure who or what to do with it. As I refined it, it became more and more like Ayn, but I didn't want to cover the back muscles, so I put her hair up again.

I really wanted a more relaxed picture of Ayn, she's not always trying to bedroom eyes someone, so I need to show that. A key piece to her character is her dancing--it's strength and combat oriented. When she came of age, she immediately requested classes in the palace so that she could blow off steam --Being restricted to the palace, it was really the only solution--but since commoners are welcome in most of the palace, and I wanted to give it that 'dance studio' vibe, I borrowed some of my 25$ tier supporters' characters who I think would want to try some strength dancing.

(Lore note: GSG stands for Galactic Standard Gravity, where the capitol is baseline "1.0". Most planets our anthroids live on range from 0.8 to 1.4. Higher or lower are livable but a lot of things change in either one.)

Enjoy! I hope this is a fun little side-view of the character, both literally and metaphorically.

Left to right the cameos are Tracy (belongs to Mirasuke), Alexandra (baronVonDrachen), and Solnoma (fluffyninja).
