Hello I’m interested in stuff like anime, games, mythology and horror but that’s probably obvious with what I post. I really like the Nier series (mostly Automata and Reincarnation), FFXIV, Honkai Impact 3rd and Reverse:1999, I think they’re all good and I just like playing them even if they’re sometimes bad.
This is my dark Yuki Yuna illustration I drew for a dark magical girl art collab on Instagram back in October!
These are hair color drafts I did for my dark Yuki Yuna design. When I asked for feedback in the gc, I got a lot of mixed opinions on which looked the best. In the end I choose light pink for the color contrast.
As for my design process, my first inspiration for the design was Yozakura (night cherry blossom viewing) which influenced the color scheme and kept her cherry blossom motif.
The core idea I wanted to portray the feeling of a broken maiden. So, I added notches to her flower hair accessory, rips to her ribbons and clothing, and enlarge her hair clip to be a an eye covering to imply damage and unease. The off shouder straps and ribbons wrapping around her legs are meant to look like white bandages (and Sange ribbons but I think that got lost in the final piece). I also took influence from her Dai Mankai form too with the one gauntlet, hip armor, and most importantly the marks crawling up her cheek (and orange as a nod to her curse in Season 2).
I hope people enjoy the art as much as I enjoyed designing and drawing her!
