DAY 6: Bridal!!!

DAY 6: Bridal!!!

AND WE'RE BACK! NEVER LET ME DRAW RUFFLES AGAIN!

Had to pause the daily drawings for a minute because it was my birthday recently! Yippee!!! I have aged!!! And as a birthday present I tormented myself with many many ruffles.

Spring alt and bridal alt shaking hands over my grave tho. I feel like where the execution of the spring alt was alright but the vibes were off, the bridal alts execution needs improvement but the vibes are on point. Super want to iterate on it in the future. Playing with that veil sounds so freaking fun.

This drawing took heavy reference from this post by lolita-waredrobe. Check them out if that suits you.

And I won't be merciful to him either

@ The. Hot spring alt concept for Kiran. My immediate thought was this running bit I have where a transmasc chara will drape a towel over the shoulders/chest and just be ass out. Pussy out kind of look. Ambiguous specifics aside, I think the towel over the shoulders could be translatable to a hood... Kiran hoarder of towels. They don't have to be ass out. They can have a little decency. A little decorum. The most audacious crime committed here is Too Many Towels.

This is all in good fun ofc ofc!! You don't gotta do anything w this information. I just. Felt deeply Compelled. 🧍👍

Oh no, that’s really good. The comedic potential of too many towels👀... I gotta sit with that one.

To give a peak behind the curtain for a sec, I did do some warm up sketches exploring the idea a little! It was mostly to practice Kiran's anatomy before going into the trenches tho lol.

Their anatomy rarely gets shown in the final drawing but man is it helpful. Both logistically and as moral support. Drawing their tummy brings me joy.

Seriously putting that idea in my back pocket tho. Noted. A secret tool that will help us later.

DAY 7: Summer!!!

Kiran summer alt real!!! Much like the Day of Devotion alt, I was actually toying with a design for this a while back, but never got around to cleaning it up. Which means its bonus sketch time! Yippee!

So this started as me wanting to draw that summer Sharena design after seeing xander-wolk take a crack at it, which you can find here. It was meant to be more of a warm up sketch but next thing I knew all four of my guys are on screen.

Then I explored the outfit a little more. Debated giving Kiran more dangly bits. But I ultimately settled on what usually works when drawing Kiran; throwing a coat on it.

Recent Nintendo games really have been pretty good for gender, huh?

Alvis is there because even though he has been around since 2010, it was only the Xenoblade 3 DLC that really confirmed his status as enby
