Doā¦ do u have a Saturn design?
Step before the throne and greet your Highnessā¦

People have come to me during my fusion drawings and original design drawings asking āhow do you come up with your designs?ā
I figured I would start breaking them down!
Depending where you are on the planet Saturnā¦the temperature can be FREEZING COLD or it can be BURNING HOT! Hence, I used both cool and warm colors on this new design! (This secretly mightāve be a +1 free ākeep og skin colorā coupon.)
I pulled several reference photos of Saturn up, using that and the color picker to find the platte that I wanted. This is how I discovered all the colors that I used, and even found the cool colors around the rims of Saturn itself.
I added markings much like the movie Avatar because I was pushing to make her feel more extraterrestrial. Though mostly varying stripes, you will also find symbolistic markings on her.
I wanted to keep her heavy armor - it is probably my favorite part in the OG designā¦ but I also was looking for something almost Mandelorian like? Along the lines of Star Wars and the way they dress their desert fighters. Her vital areas are heavy protected while less important parts of her body are exposed to prevent heat exhaustion. Though, Saturn has a high tolerance to extreme heat and the cold, this simply helps not make the problem worse.
Her loincloth shows off her home proudly, as no enemy cares to ādoxxā her when her planet is known fearsomely as a high-military planet. Saturnās planet is much like the Russia of our Solar System in terms of militaryā¦leaving Earth as the āUSAā. LOL?? YAY??? I GUESS ????
Saturn is adorned in moons, as Saturn (The Planet) has ~250 moons. You can find it on her belt, around her rings, falling from her armor, and even in her markings.
She wears heat-resistant gloves under her armored ones to handle hotter weapons and more dangerous situations (such as saving a casualty from some fire-related event, which she has done many times before with her own soldiers and civilians.)
Her armor is extremely strong! If Norman tried to punch it, itād probably split his arm in half!
The original color looked very out of place when I added it, though I tried to subtly keep the blue tone in there, if you look hard enough with your brightness all the way upā¦lolā¦
Her hair is where I added the āstar repā..though itās more directed towards Space as a whole rather than just stars / constellations. Think of Princess Celestiaās hair from MLP with this pattern of stars in her dark, midnight hair. I kept the āstar repā very small due to the fact that she was a Gas Giant (not even a full planet) instead of anything close to a Star. It felt like staff impersonation to keep adding star rep on her. Thoughā¦there is a certain Star located on her chest pieceā¦behind the Gas Giant emblem.
Her hair is properly tied back, though sometimes seeming disheveled. The hair-tie is to keep her from tripping on herself in battle - the wrecked state of her hair from time to time is due to the stress on her as a general.
Removable! They float around, attached to nothing and being silly. She has a second eye under the ring over her head, itās just obscured by hair and a ring.
Iām well known for my original designs that act as āwatermarksā for the fan-content I create! In no way is this changed-design any kind of insult or criticism to the original creators. This is just a āhow I designed the characterā type of trend Iāve been doing for years!
I encourage people to do this as well to prevent stigma on the āTSBS vs DCAā fanart that happens often ā¦ where the two fandoms overlap and cause drama. (EX: sun x moon - DCA vs TSBS ) This also relieves the stigma on Public Models being used on-camera, to separate Character from Model when this can also cause problems. (Though this part is irrelevant due to Saturn being an Original Character with a Commissioned Model.)
