🕑 Added 2024-01-14 16:15:54 +0000 UTCThis was actually the first pic I did after coming back from the break, which was almost a month ago now. As usual I wanted to start with something simple/safe since that first drawing always feels like climbing a mountain and I definitely dont want to risk falling back down.
Originally wanted to do it back in october though, around the time her banner came out. As soon as I first saw her in leaked pics I knew she would be a must have character and naturally, I knew Id have to draw her at some point.
For this one I just immediately had the imagine of her in a kimono for some reason, and I thought that combo of kimono with lace/lingerie underneath would be perfect (similar to what I did with Sara from Genshin a while ago). Theres something really erotic about this combo, but I cant explain it, its one of those things you just feel.
I did try to give the outfit a similar feel to her armor with the details in the kimono especially (the "cloud" outlines), plus having a blue gradient sort of mirroring her hairstyle makes it look like it especially specifically made for her, which is another thing I always really like.
One thing I was very undecided about was the makeup color. I knew I wanted blue nails for sure, but I also played around with the idea of giving her blue lipstick and in the end this just narrowly won because I felt like there was already so much blue in the pic that the lips would stand out more this way, with a natural pink/red color (ironically).
Another thing is I wanted to have her eyes glowing a bit with a strong red that would also stand out from the rest and be the first thing that draws your attention. Then for the background I just did a generic snow theme because its what shes all about. Dont worry about the cold, I doubt she can even feel it, lol.
I do plan on drawing her at least one more time, though I have 2 pics in mind (a back pic and a full body) but we will see, there is a lot to do as always so you never know.
Oh and as a final note I was messing around with the patreon theme and changed the colors a bit, I think this suits my page and my character a lot more, with the light pink background and reddish font. It just looks more "personal" in general so I really like it. Ive also noticed while I was gone they added a dark mode which is very welcome, finally a good change.
Thats it for now. Will probably be posting an FFXIV commission next.

I think most people are, and I get it, most of the time you just want to look at the pics and dont really have anything to say, though Id like to think most read the descriptions at least since it takes me a while to write them, lol Feel free to drop any comments whenever you have something to say, I always read and appreciate them, especially during those times where my motivation/self confidence is really low
