Sliiiiight nitpick, but I feel like Namco always has Mari Shimazaki make her most basic designs when it comes to Tekken 😅
She's made Bayonetta, of course, and she's even made some killer designs for Leixia's 1P and also Ivy's and Tira's SoulCalibur V 2P designs but her work for Tekken?
Josie is literally just the Filipino flag and an ugly haircut.
Kazumi is just a woman in a kimono, worn in the way dead people wear it in funerals and an old-time-y haircut, but don't forget the bows! Because no woman in Tekken should look older than 16!
And now Reina, she is admittedly her best Tekken design so far, I like the hoody, but the hair is kind of a mess and it's otherwise just too... Plain.
Like, I don't know, I guess she doesn't have to go all out all the time but I was genuinely, unpleasantly surprised when I heard she was responsible for Josie's look and while it's nowhere near as basic with Reina, it's too pre-Tekken 4 plain for me.
There's something about Leixa's smug expression here that's so amusing to me. I keep imagining a Morshu-esque "MMM" from her every time I see it.
I've relearned layer masking for the umpteenth time. This was supposed be an excuse to practice with GIMP. From page 42 of New Legends of Project Soul, just a little crop with the other sketches near it hidden.
Leixia's design was ready before Project Soul decided on her name. Originally her primary costume was based on Xianghua's outfit from Soulcalibur IV, but was replaced by the costume created by Mari Shimazaki.
I’ve got an exam this Friday and was feeling some pre-exam nerves. So, I took a break and drew. After doing Exercise which featured a more casual fem!Lang and fem!Josuke, I wanted to do some more genderbends. >w>

One day, a young girl named Leixia visited the Fu-Ma clan’s settlement, stating that she was on a quest to discover the secret of a certain necklace. When Leixia found out that Natsu was possessed by a great demon, she did not recoil from her like most people did. And in fact, seemed quite fascinated. Natsu took an instant liking to Lexia’s somewhat awkward but genuine personality, and offered to join her on her journey as a bodyguard. (x)
