Bring in your completed charter turnarounds

I designed a bacon queen and a hashbrown minister to fit in the 16th century palace.

However, the character design seems to be too complicated due to the teacher’s feedback and peer review. So I made a version 2 as below which the stripe patterns on clothes are reduced.

The second version removed all shadings except the ones of the armor.
