I was afraid this would happen. I can make some alterations later this afternoon, and I'll attempt to defend myself, but without color, it'll be hard to make the distinction.
My defense is that I tried to retain Rosalina's facial features/structures while adapting to the Symphonia artstyle. I also retained as much of Rosalina's hairstyle I could. The crown and cards were an afterthought, I'll admit, but you'll simply have to look closely at the image since it doesn't have and likely will never receive color.
Now, take a look at the image carefully. You'll see that the eyes are the similar almond shape as Rosalina's canon eyes (as opposed to Peach and Daisy's much rounder eyes) with continuous eyelashes around the outsides (when compared to Peach and Daisy again, they only have 3-4 eyelashes in most interpretations last I checked). The eyebrows are much smaller than Sheena's, since Rosalina has thick, but short eyebrows, and a very important note is that Sheena's hair parts to her left, while Rosalina's parts to her right. I made sure to accentuate this difference as much as I could, and I even kept the flips on the left side of Rosalina's hair that se has in canon interpretations. I also left the tossles in front of her ears alone to retain the canon Rosalina look, the only thing I really changed here is the fact that the hair is in a messy ponytail rather than free flowing.
Fight me on this all you want, but I was very deliberate in my decision making on what to keep and what to change, and the only alterations I can think to make would be adding a star "buckle" to either her boots or the knot around her sash. Any further distinction would require color, and I don't have time to give it a neat coloring treatment. Slapping on color solely fo the sake of clarification would hurt the piece more than help it, in my opinion.
So it's staying the way it is. I'm confident with it, and the one that made the rules is okay with it. That's all the grounds I need.
