Hello Holozing!
It took me the day without internet, I had been in maintenance and the day had become long with none of the work to do. So rather, I started to think and organize some things, until I decided to start capturing some designs that had occurred to me for the active Holozing contest. And so the early morning dawned on me, here on my side of the world it is after 1 am. Story, it is a comment that must be made to the current publication of the contest, but for my part I wanted to share with you the creative process that has accompanied the creation of the first part of my proposals.
I have been inspired by the Female Healer of the Ocean, I confess that I love her color palette and the characteristic gesture of the character, she overwhelms me with charm. For her, I have designed a different style of hair, something longer accompanied by a huge bow that is currently very fashionable. I love the characters with bows, they are very attractive, this made me remember Tomoyo, when she designed the Sakura Card Captor costumes and there were always bow details.To add a detail of mystery, a detailed crystal mask with a star center. Wow here was something crazy, I was thinking of Scorpion, he is one of my favorite Mortal Combat characters, although never before Ashrah.
On the other hand, I have added some nice headphones. And every good Gamer has one to better contextualize themselves in the game or perhaps to listen to the music of their liking. Give me one from the 80s please! I added details of the marine context, to better align it with the characterization of the character and they turned out great.
I have also designed a watch, a small subtle one, with marine details like some pearls and shells. And to make this even better, I based the color practically on the character's original color palette. Have I already told you that I love those colors?
Let's go through that process I believe
This excited and scared me, because yes, I have really drawn a variety of things, but never before in so much connection with another base. I think it was very fun and a little crazy, because it was quite fluid to create the hairstyle, bow, face and mask image. But as for the watch and headphones with a charging device, I was already a little tired and perhaps I felt that hindered the process a little. If you see the ocean healer in any of the photographs, it is because I placed her there as inspiration and reference for marine details, insignia and colors. But aside, for this, I have used my tablet, pencil and the Mediban Paint drawing program. Let's take a quick look at the first design:

Now let's go with the headphones and charging device:

Now let's go with the wristwatch:
(For this conch, I used that reference image)
Here the final result
I loved this, it has been a challenge and on the other hand, with a lot of fun. Designing accessories is undoubtedly a very creative and fun activity. I already feel like a Tomoyo, I hope to see my "Sakura" wearing these cute accessories or characters.
