F&F: Sakura concept art 2.0
🕑 Added 2023-11-20 17:13:39 +0000 UTCWelp. I'm back on my bullshit. ;w;
Feathers and Flowers got a setting/story overhaul recently! Most of the main story beats remain basically the same, but the characters are getting more focus than the overarching plot is, so this revision is moreso about making the characters the priority and not the main plot stuff going on. Their personal stories should hopefully carry the main plot and whatnot.
I was always so worried about it being too predictable or too "cringe". But here's to doing it anyway! ;w;
SO! SAKURA! Sakura is the tallest of original 4. Initially the idea to make her so tall was partially because she's an athlete but very little else. But I've decided to make it a factor of why she's so large at all, as well as a characteristic that plays into her overall backstory. Some design/character notes:
-Sakura is now half human, half Goliath. Goliaths are a race in this world known for their large, powerful statures and long saber teeth. They are somewhat feline like in appearance, but Sakura lacks any of the facial characteristics (outside the fangs and slight kitty-mouth shape). Ironic, since I've always seen Sakura as having "human golden retriever" vibes. Anyway, it's where she gets her mass from; unusually tall for a human, but rather smol for a Goliath.
-Given her nature, Sakura's teefies are smol; Goliath sabers typically extend further down the chin (or in some cases, past it). Sakura's as seen are visible, but aren't necessarily impressive.
-Toying with fully red eyes; I kinda like it but I may go back to play with a much warmer brown to match her puppy-dog aesthetic.
-Extended the scar on her face and neck to be a little longer. How did she get them?? Probably falling out of a tree as a kid or alternatively, someone slashed her in her youth. I dunno
-Sakura's tattoos will be possibly traded for natural stripes; they will be faded and light in comparison to a full Goliath, but still visible.
-Her hairline extends down her neck.
--------------
I'll talk at length about her backstory and character when I get to work on some exploration art on her. In the meantime, more to come soon! :>
