3rd panel, there are two awesome looking badass Mokou's in there.

I've always wondered where the majority of professional anime artists take the "number of heads tall" measurement from. The Western tutorials I've seen vary between measuring from the top of a bald head to where the neck meets the shoulders, and from the top of a bald head to the bottom of the chin.

It doesn't sound like such a small space would make a big difference but it totally does.

That is why cranial units were invented - because they are more accurate, arm measured with reference to the dimensions of landmark body parts, and they can be manipulated in perspective, as a sphere is always a sphere in perspective, whereas an oval/ellipse (head unit) is not.
