Aww, tiny Maria

This is a minor parody of what happens at school to me.

By age, Maria is the shortest character in the Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (apart from Roger, but he doesn't count). Sophia's the same height (5'3'') but two years younger, and Peppita is five years younger.

I am the second oldest kid in my school year.

All my friends have realised that I'm shorter than them.

Crud.

Anyway, I like Maria, and I noticed this fact about their heights. So I decided to make a pic based on my misfortune of being part welsh. The welsh are brilliant, but short.

I think Maria's gonna shoot him in a minute.

Anyway, to the drawing. My first attempt at any SO3 fanart, and Fayt looks awful, but I don't think Maria turned out too bad. For a first go. I've realised that my problem is lousy reference pics and I CAN'T DRAW LAYERED HAIR like Fayt's. And I know I got his costume a bit off, but it's his face and hair that annoy me.
Ah well, not bad for a first try.

Please comment; if anyone has any tips I'm happy to listen.
