The first of a pair of style tests. This one looks a just a little bit comic-like, I think. Anyway, this was the last time I made a full painting of DX-C2LL/A before switching them to base PSO2 CAST parts.

They're holding a launcher. For a while, I couldn't decide if I wanted them to be a Ranger or Bouncer; I eventually chose Bouncer because I like the Jet Boots.

I made the background blue to complement AQUA's introductory piece.

(I probably should've looked up references for the launcher, but... ehhhh)

The second style test. It's a bit painterly-feeling to me. I think I used Medibang's default acrylic brush?

I wanted to try using layer effects to color over grayscale, but it ended up looking mushy, for lack of a better word. So, I gave up xD
