I'm drawing the three house leaders as anthro animals, all what their house mascot is. There is no room on the page for their weapons. There's a couple options I'm considering and I need help deciding.
Traces of their hair color or no? They will of course have their eye colors. If I add their hair color in it will show up as yellow highlights in Dimitri's mane and tail tuft, white head crest for Edelgard, and a tuft of dark brown between Claude's antlers. Their main colors are of course blue, black, and gold.
Just their scarves/cloaks or the rest of their outfit sans gloves and boots to show their paws/hooves/talons/feather hands? In other words, naked except for the cloak or most of their outfit?
If the style matters, here's the sketch sans dark brown hair tuft and clothes other than cloaks. I'm not asking for critique, people. Please do not just post just to say my drawing skill is lacking or I need anatomy practice. I feel bad saying this but with my past experiences with posting art I have to. Long story short, look at the style I have and decide which option will look the best with it.
