An Encounter And a Reunion

Sketch:


So, Serena FINALLY got to make another appearance.... and it was SPOILED for me, thanks to people posting screenshots even before the site I've been getting my subs from had posted the episode.... (before the episode even AIRED, if I'm not mistaken... did people put commercials up on freaking YouTube before the debut, or something?) Either way.... thanks a lot, this is the SECOND time I've had something that I would have had LOVED to have been a surprise ruined for me for being not even 24-hours behind.... I can't even imagine how bad it is for the Dub-only crowd.

Ranting aside (Okay... one more: QUIT POSTING SCREENSHOTS HERE!) Serena's new outfits and hairstyle were EVERYTHING, so of course I had to draw her new contest outfit right away. (may or may not do her new casual outfit later)

As for the sketch, no major changes or fixes here, though I id use a basic emerald clipart for the belt buckle gem. It should also be noted that I did kind of have to "Frankenstein" my drawing reference here since the episode didn't provide good full-body shot of Serena in her contest outfit. I'm also going to give a shoutout to FankiFalu since I had to look at their full-body drawing to see how the shoes should  look as well as a few other minor details below the belt.

I'm also just going to say, it's kind of a shame her pants had to be black since my pallet coloring killed the details of my lines there, but I promise they'll be present once it's time for proper color.
