references for next self project

My next "project" will be a Fairy Tail fan art for my friend who got me things from this year's animenext.

I will be drawing Virgo, Leo, Aries and Plue. The reasoning for this is due to a conversation I had with her about Fairy Tail and she mentioned her favorite celestial spirits. My 'general' layout for the wallpaper fan art will be this:

From left to right, Virgo, Leo, Aries. On the bottom but slightly center will be Plue in, sitting on his behind.

Virgo, Leo and Aries will be full/close to full profiles; each in their most well known poses.

The background base color will be black. I'm thinking of having big block lettering on the right (or left, we'll have to see) of each of the 3 characters. I'm thinking of leaving Plue's name out for aesthetic reasons. The colors of the names will be based on hair color. (Originally I was hoping I could do 3 different colors but it worked out better that the two spirits on the ends have the same color while the one in the middle is a different color.) Virgo and Aries - pink while Leo - orange.

Then on the other side, their key if I can fit it. Hopefully I can, otherwise I'll have to stick with just the sign.

I can't find a full head-to-toe of Leo, but this will have to do- I'll have to hide his missing feet with Plue then. (It also has Aries in this picture haha; two in one.)
