I'll jump straight into it and show you what I've got, while it's still relatively fresh in your memory.
This is my new design for Aria, and I quite like it. It's not perfect, of course. Her neck's slightly too long. I'm not entirely positive I nailed the angle and curvature of her shoulders. I know I messed up a bit on the stage-right arm and chest (appearing to us on the left), and the other arm's not the best itself.
Adding to that, while I certainly think that I made her well-endowed, She's supposed to have a even larger, ah, "chest" size. Then there's how her arms are slightly too short (in part because the elbows are slightly too high), since they should extend to about mid-thigh when hanging like the right (stage-right, appearing left) one is, yet are closer to being on the hip.
Speaking of the hip, not sure I quite nailed the hip angle and curvature, nor am I entirely positive I got the legs to be positioned in a way they make sense in relationship to the hip--in particular, the left (stage-left, appearing right) one might be out of position; I forgot to do a mental calculation on whether the stance she is in would be balanced, so I just winged it. (To be fair, she IS a ghost, so if there's ANY character who can have their legs not be positioned so they're balanced......)
Still, though, in spite of those (mostly-)minor imperfections, I think that, overall, it's a high-quality drawing, and at least in my opinion, it beats the sketch it was refined from and beats the drawing that inspired it a year ago. She looks good, she looks fairly realistic, not much more I can ask for.
