Here’s a little something for the #MHWilds design contest thingy. Sadly only had a day to work on it, so probably won’t get in, but I wanted to make something cute and contribute at least !

My friend was running a “blades in the dark” sesh as a test, and this was my character. Had a lot of fun playing as him, so might convert him into a character for one of my projects…

COMM FOR: Star
I got this lovely commission from Star who wanted an Outfit Redesign for their OC, Sena! We took a lot of inspiration from the Character Designs in the game "Library of Ruina", of which I'm a big fan of!

#VGenComm #VGen #VGenOpen #vartist

An Outfit Design Commission for VGen user Star, featuring an OC named Sena. She has brown hair with twin buns held together by white ribbons, and is wearing a red, white, and black outfit reminiscent of a Bartender. She has hand-wraps due to her history with martial arts.

The Outfit Design process for Sena. Variations include the design of the coat and shirt, shape of the sleeves, and shape of the coat lapel.

Did this one a while back
It was for a TA thing, students were assigned to do a "Cowboy Tea Party", so I whipped this one in like 2 hours. This was a fun one for sure! 🐀
