Here is a progress image because a week has passed. I have not found much time lately.
Looks great! They have such a nice atmosphere. Thank you for drawing. It's totally fine to work on them whenever you have time to spare.
Kame means turtle in Japanese. I chose this name because I love turtles and ramen.

Here are the staff variations! The high-resolution images are here as well, they are in several files for space reasons.

KameRamen, I would be happy if you include all the portraits in the add-on, even the ones that would not appear in the campaign for logic reasons.

This art project is now complete. In a little while I will write some final thoughts.

For general convenience, I am collecting all the completed portraits in this post.
The attached .zip contains all seventeen 400x400 images, the high-resolution images can be found throughout the thread (they are too big to attach here).
Here is also a collage of all the portraits for reference.

Overall this was a good experience.
I certainly achieved a goal of improving in digital art:
Progression over a year:
I will probably not undertake another project like this due to the amount of work. It took longer than I expected, in terms of months and also hours drawing. Of course a large reason is I am still inexperience in digital art and have trouble drawing lines where I intend them.
Anyway it was fun to draw and it was nice working with KameRamen to complete his campaign with portraits and other bits and pieces.

Thank you for drawing these! Truly wonderful artwork. I'll likely release a version including these next week.

Of course, I'd like to make sure all your artwork is included in the campaign. I'll double-check to see if anything's missing.

I truly appreciate you taking on this project. Commissioning artwork from someone was a totally new experience for me. The only thing I feel really sorry about is that I temporarily lost contact around the end of last year.

I'm so glad things worked out well in the end. Thank you so much!
