Kuraki expressions by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

A sample of facial expressions for Kuraki Tojikawa, Toyoda's female acquaintance of as-yet-unspecified relationship, done in March 2010 for use in comics by choxorn and @GenMarshall. chox ended up using one once, and I another in a cartoon that was itself an original sketch because I felt like a lazy bugger at the time.

I started off trying to emulate the properties of kitsune-gao (narrow face, high cheekbones, close-set eyes) but I don't think I quite managed it. Her nose is a bit wonky in most of these, and I never really figured out what I was trying to do with her bangs. As ever, though, I found various elements useful for later reference.
