Code July Day 4: AU

Actually I want to remake my Butterfly and Moth Yumi (from Mythic AU/Project Chrysalis) but I want to draw my oni design of her so bad.

Oni Yumi doesn't have a proper AU yet. But I can imagine her being a guardian that saves her trapped friends in Lyoko! 👹🪭

Oni in Japanese folklore can be either evil (monsters that eat humans), or good (being benevolent guardians/protectors). In her oni version, Yumi is spunky and confident, but she is ruthless and unforgiving when she snapped.

Moth Yumi (Mythic AU)'s design and concept under the cut (because I haven't posted it here):

Here's the moth Yumi design, I made this last year. The moth version is the X.A.N.A. counterpart of her butterfly mode.

I might remake this bc the motifs are too crowded. The moth used here is a well-known moth species, which is the Luna moth/American moon moth (Actias luna). Her design combines wa-lolita and EGL (elegant gothic lolita) fashion.

I uploaded this on Instagram at that time.

It's completely opposite with her butterfly mode, that uses an obscure butterfly species, the peacock swallowtail (Papilio blumei )

So, I got a pose reference of someone holding a fan, and I'm still indecisive to choose which AU design I want to draw.

I'll post the designs here. Left to right: Oni, Kitsune, Upgraded.

Bonus: that (failed) WIP of Oni Yumi activating her curse mark due to marker ink leaking (by accident):

Her curse mark are those red lines, looking like flowers and spiraling vines. Despite she wears the geisha makeup, it is still visible.

(Yeah, she also HAS A KATANA)

Oni Yumi (Activated curse mark ver!)

I just like how this turned out, especially the spiral + flower motif for her curse mark. She legit HAS a katana as well lmaoo

Odd-eyed Yumi is something I never considered, but at least this is my first time trying to do that.

Reminder under the cut:

I'll need to take a lil break for drawing Upgraded/Post-S3/Onna-Musha Yumi for a bit (For the recent poll!). Especially I need to buy some copic refills this month and in October, to prepare for a few art challenges.

Code July Day 8: AU(?)

Disclaimer: I have a lot of AU S1-3 or post-S3 Yumi designs. I use emotes to symbolize each AU Yumi, so here's an overview to the AU Yumis I have.

I might post a new art in the same prompt because a large portion of this are my old artworks. And i had an artblock goddammit

🦋: Mythic - Project Chrysalis (Butterfly Yumi)

🦊: Japanese Fantasy (Kitsune Miko Yumi)

👹: Oni Yumi

🌸: Onna-Musha Yumi (Upgraded/Post-S3)

🐱: Neko Yumi (Basically a virtualization error which Yumi got a DNA fusion with her adopted pet cat)

😈: Onryo Empress Yumi (Epsilon Tarantula's Garage Kids)

💀: X.A.N.A Yumi

🦋 Project Chrysalis, the Colorful Butterfly 🦋

Influenced by the song "Butterfly" by smile.dk and the remix by Kors k feat. Starbitz in Dancerush stardom, this Yumi got a butterfly-themed upgrade with some extra abilities like illusion and summoning butterflies for distraction. The species she's based on is a peacock swallowtail (Papilio blumei)

She's still keeping her seriousness in fighting, but she is easily flustered when someone pets her antenna hair. (Yep, the antennae is actually her hair). The bracelet is an transformation item. Project Chrysalis is a part of Mythic / Mystical Upgrades AU that will be into 4 parts, each part focusing on Ulrich, Yumi, Odd and Aelita.

🦊 Japanese Fantasy, the Extroverted Fox Maiden 🦊

Before you ask, this is the official rebranding of the iroha uta AU bc I really suck at romance. The old color scheme has too much orange, so I made her to be more like a miko (shrine maiden) and Aelita's helper. So, no geisha makeup, she still does wear her red eyeshadow/eyeliner tho!

Fox Yumi has fire controlling abilities, in the form of fireballs! sadly she can't turn into an actual fox. She can also change her eye color into red whenever she has any strong emotions (mostly being agitated)

This new Lyoko outfit is only worn in the new Japanese sector, named Yamato sector!

👹 Oni Yumi, the Spunky Demon and Guardian 👹

I already posted her fixed design in my previous codejuly entry.

She's part of an unnamed AU, but here are some quirks of her. She is loosely based of one of my fav Hololive Vtubers, Nakiri Ayame. Her katana blade is her secondary weapon, and when she draws her blade, she also can manipulate fire with her katana. Aside from it, she can also create flowers... with toxic pollen. Her fans can also spread the pollen in a greater range.

The red flower underneath her eye and on her left shoulder are curse marks btw. Oni!Yumi always emphasize that those aren't tattoos, those are legit, actual curse marks. Her anger is one of her main flaws. She can change her eye color to hazel when she's really enraged, but as for now, I haven't drawn her "hazel eyes" mode. Personality wise, she's spunky, but can be ruthless and unapologetic when she finally snapped.

🌸 Upgraded AU, the Elegant yet Cool Onna-Musha 🌸

P.S. Onna musha is another term of onna bugeisha, which means "woman martial artist". It is also sort of a wordplay, bc in season 1-3 Yumi's Lyoko form is a traditional geisha.

Tbh she has a lot of changes. Her initial upgraded design was more Chinese-looking, not Japanese (bc my dumbass brain thought that using halloweencostumes.com was a good idea for costume design), so I changed it entirely to be a mix of original design and garage kids fused together. Oh, she also wears black fingerless gloves, a breastplate, a Japanese-styled shoulder guard/pad, and bandages on her left arm. No full body design, but i might change her boots a bit.

I prefer using this route for Yumi in my post-S3 AU, and I already hate S4 for making Yumi's Lyoko form look more like a bunnygirl, so... welp. This AU Yumi doesn't have changes personality-wise to the normal Yumi, but probably... I'll change bits of it gradually. Her secondary weapon will be a naginata!

🐱 Neko Yumi, The Cutest Virtualization Bug Ever 🐱

Basically it's season 1-3 Yumi with cat ears and tail because of a "DNA fusion" with her adopted pet cat. I might make a nekomata variety of this, but let's see.

This literally is just a random idea bc I love kemonomimi. The ears, bell and tail color is based of my Twitter friend's pet cat, they named it Yumi too 🐱 (Bc their twitter account is privated, here's the cat)

😈 Onryo Empress, the Seductive yet Destructive Demon-Ghost 😈

AU by EpsilonTarantula (AO3) (FFN)

People been saying she looks like Nezuko or any other Kimetsu no Yaiba character, but this design is more influenced by the geisha in identity V.

According to Epsilon, Onryo Empress Yumi is not awkward at all and is a superb seductress. Which, while great for Ulrich, is not great for everyone else. One look at the Onryo Empress and you understand that this is a true queen of darkness.

💀 X.A.N.A.-Yumi, Simple But Intimidating 💀

X.A.N.A.-Yumi is personally my most favorite design of all these AU Yumis I ever created. She is basically a fusion between oiran, geisha and kunoichi. Sorry for the messy motifs of her kimono whatsoever, those are supposed to be lilies.

CodeJuly Day 2: Alternate Lyoko warriors

Yumi as an oni! She is loosely based of one of my fav Hololive Vtubers, Nakiri Ayame. Her katana blade is her secondary weapon, and when she draws her blade, she also can manipulate fire with her katana. Aside from it, she can also create flowers... with toxic pollen. Her fans can also spread the pollen in a greater range.

The red flower underneath her eye and on her left shoulder are curse marks btw. Oni!Yumi always emphasize that those aren't tattoos, those are legit, actual curse marks. Her anger is one of her main flaws. She can change her eye color to hazel when she's really enraged. Plus, her power will be much stronger in this state. If she's at her limit, her curse marks will spread, and end up making her feel a burning sensation if this wasn't stopped.
