A first look at Mei’s redesign, I was originally planning on saving showing her until i finished all my ref sheets but i think her cute little grumpy face is worth sharing lol
some tidbits about the design:
Mei is very much a cuddle bug.. so she is a woman of many coats. Anything that she can snuggle in <3
I’ll get into this more when I give a full rundown but her main plan of attack is always to just run in headfirst, so she has adopted the idea of wearing thicker armor (not completely though, because she is very quick and needs to be agile) but she does take on the arm so she can sorta use it as a shield to barge in if you get me
She doesn’t wear them all the time though, and her waistband can be replaced with a regular jedi waistband
The shoulder pauldron belonged to her padawan, personally i like to think that the “white” on clone armor is some sort of outer layer, and when Mei stripped it to alter the armor, the grey is the next layer below that white coat
When she was a very young padawan, she suffered a pretty nasty blow to the face which scarred deep and damaged her eye. This is where her faux heterochromia comes from, along with the white hair on that side of her head. I haven’t settled on the accidents specifics but it was definitely force related. The actual scarring on her face is pretty faint now that she is grown, but the hair and eye remain prominent.
the red ribbon in her hair may or may not have a matching ribbon around Laws wrist <3 I have yet to finish his design though so you’ll just have to take my word for it
I thought I could start sharing some WIPs on Wednesdays as a way to try and keep myself active on here for weeks when I don't have any finished art to share. I'll try and explain some of them but lots of these sketches and squiggles I will most likely only return to again when I'm in the mood for em and some I'll finish right away. It's a coin toss lol.
1.) First pic is something for my BG3 Durge character Solar, it's been sitting there for a bit but I like to think I'll eventually get to it c:
2.) I've been playing the Batman Arkham games and it had me thinking of a alt suit design for Batman, I think I'll continue with it cause I really like the design and Batman
3.) A peek at a illustration Im trying to get done in time for May the 4th, it's kinda nuts but I'm making good progress (hopefully will be able to continue it while I'm on vacation next week lol)
4.) Last one is of a clone oc I've had on the brain for a while that is connected to Kai and Talzin. The Clone parent trope is just too strong I couldn't help myself 🤭 His name is Oz and he's the best unofficial step dad ever. And yes his hair is dyed the hottest of pinks
Watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert with my wife last night because it happened to come on the telly, and ohhhhh I forgot how much I love Bernadette.
She's beauty, she's grace, she's a massive bitch with a massive heart, she deserves the world and I love her like she was my own mother.
