I may have burned down the kitchen
But I had a lot of fun drawing the gang and designing their outfits based on what you drew originally and the descriptions given in your writing
I made a few different variations because, in the end, these are your interpretations of the character and I wanted to have your final say in the designs for I draw actual fanart of them and not just play dress up with them
I’m sorry if I overstepped in any way or if what I drew chili in was disrespectful in any way, you don’t have to answer this as an ask, my dms are open if you want to give feedback that way
But here they are and my thoughts when playing dress up!
Gingerbrave was the first one I drew, so he’s a bit more underdeveloped than the rest, I drew his hair in the shape of the souljam of freedom for the last 2 versions and I added the antennas later when you posted your lasted drawings of the gang, I wanted to keep his warm and welcoming vibe while still being slightly noble, hence the vest, but still adventure-y, hence the boots and belt with a little holster for his candy cane
I love strawberry, my daughter, pretty princess, my go-to when drawing cute dresses, originally I gave her a fully connected skirt, but I thought that with the pants, a split skirt would work better, I also tried to shape her curl of green icing into the top part of a heart, but upside down, its little hard to explain but I think it's cute, I tried making her defensive with the armor and cloak, but welcoming with the softness of her clothing
Designing wizard robes is so hard for no reason😭, I tried out different variations of the scarf because if it's based on stardust cookie, then perhaps wizard enchanted his scarf to look like literal stardust, cuz he looks up him and is a dork under all that mystique, I also gave him a moon motif on the third version and dusting of frost or powdered sugar on the fourth, for fun, I also liked splitting his sleeves because I have an au outfit for him that I absolutely cooked with that I used for inspiration, I like to think if wizard gets anger enough, the metal tip of his hat starts parking like a tesla coil
Custard was so fun but so hard because he has to look regal, but more in a prince way and less like a king way, cuz of the whole boy-king thing, the second version is more based on the curling vine things, and the third has more wing motifs, the fourth was more based on the canon design, I think I made him look cute but capable, but who knows
Chili, I literally love her so much, I want to design her airship and I already have so many thoughts about it but first, her outfit, I had so many tabs open to get good references for Thai clothing, but I don't know if any of these actually fit, I mainly drew from more masculine clothing for her since I thought it would fit her character, but how well I did is for you to decide, I tried to keep a hit of the old jeans but cutting her coat into the general shape of a jean jacket, mostly for the sleeves, I also cut the fingers off her gloves because I thought that as a thief, she would want more sensitivity in her fingers at the gloves would block
For all of them, I tried drawing their icing and faces from version to version so you could pick which one works best
Again, I hope I didn't overstep when making these and I hope you at least somewhat like them
i want you to know ive been staring at these and giggling for like thirty minutes. im in LOVE. ooooh my god look at them. theyre so cuteiful. i adore each version youve made and youve put so much care into it, going out of your way to find physical descriptions in the fic and everything!! these are phenomenal !!
you are absolutely NOT overstepping and i hope youre okay with my answering this ask and not just dming you because i would love for others to see these.
the way you still included parts of the original designs into every version (❁´◡`❁) waawoaoehaogoae
i love the longer cloak for SB AND THE PUFF SLEEVES. my pretty princess....
i hope you dont mind if i take inspiration from some of your designs! ESP your chili. ive been wanting to give her a jacket (hence her having a coat in her chapters) i just havent figured out exactly how i wanted to do that, and here you come with not one, not two BUT THREE VERSIONS!! with a jacket!!! im genuinely foaming at the mouth!
and im not sure if you did it intentionally (but you did mention giving her a more masc look, which i agree with), but the sash you gave her in the fourth version does look like something found in traditional mens thai costume! which is very very cool >o<
genuinely ADORE these and again, hope you dont mind if i borrow a few of these ideas while i do my redesigns
