Hello Steemians!
Tonight will be one of the most lovely occurrences i've ever heard of; a Super Blood Moon!
It seems so magical and I can't wait to see it! I'm finishing my work early so I have time to go out tonight!
I'd like to share a character design I create over the past two days! My commissioner wanted an idol with ombre hair, ombre eyes, a rebel yet girly theme and the colors purple, maroon, hot pink, or magenta!
Here is what I came up with!
The designing went very smoothly! I took lots of inspiration from the Japanese girl group AKB48 by her request, and I absolutely fell in love with their clothing!
I found it very easy to mix the elements girly and rebel for this outfit!
The girly part comes from the frills that are very present in AKB48's clothing as well as the large bow!
While the rebel element is added with the chains, cut out gloves and mismatched boots!
Some clothing accessories were added later once I finished all of the linework. As seen here:
I removed the frilly parts on the thigh and left arm because I felt it was getting a bit too frilly and too far from rebel. I replaced them with the cut out gloves! I also changed the bracelet on the right arm to a pearl bracelet to keep the pearl theme going! I decided later to change the hair color from black and white ombre to brown and light brown ombre to look more youthful sense the color palette was so dark already. Lastly I present to you my last wip containing notes I wrote to outline some things about the design!
Please excuse my terrible handwriting! I hope you enjoy this character design adventure! Designing characters (especially idols) are one my favorite things to do! I just don't get to do it enough!
Thank you everyone!!!
