I made my own moonsona! Greetings, Aleida, The War angel.
Initially, it was hard for me not to make an overloaded design, while leaving it not entirely light, since it would look very stingy and ugly, as most of the DT 2017 character designs look (Yes, their second season villain walks around in his underwear).
The second problem is... The figure, no, seriously, I couldn't figure out which areas of her clothes would be figured out and where they would be loose. As a result, she has slightly loose pants and a jacket. And since the cloak would get in the way, I made the jacket collar similar to moonlanders wear.
I didn't want to make her a fairy, but since she's a war angel, I came up with the idea of using a sea angel as a reference.(Even though it looks bulky). In her default state, she has no claws and the wing blades are turned off. (I still don't fully understand how cybernetics and lunar technology work).
An equally difficult process is creating a name. I wanted to give her something in the spirit of Artemis (Arthemis), Themis, but so that there would be something of her own. I settled on the shortened name "Adelaide", and let them shorten her name to Alei (which sounds like the word Ally). ❗️Attention, it has nothing in common with my name, it just happened by chance❗️😇.
About the palette... Somehow all the colors in the series seemed bright, so Aleida's are calm. Even a clumsy person who can't draw or know anything about color theory won't make her an eyesore for the viewer. No need to worry.
It became more fun to develop the ref, but I will still just say that I took the promo refs with children from the first season as a basis. So, I did it!
