Hi, so I was wondering about the design of Leilana. Did she always look like this or is this the final design after a few early drafts?
Just curious, cause I love seeing stuff like that.
She only had a few changes from her earliest designs
Her eyes didn’t have an iris and just light reflection marks but that wasn’t as expressive as I wanted. Her antenna tips went from yellow to purple like her freckles. Went from 3 fingers to 4 cause it’s common for cartoon characters have them and it allowed for her to do more hand gestures. She was also originally wearing this one-piece leotard but I switched it to a more adventurous style that has pants and pockets and pouches to better explain where she’s holding some of her tools or quest items (unless she’s holding it in her boobs or in her ass crack). I did repurpose the outfit as her old “pizza delivery girl” outfit so it’s still around in some way.
Even in the early comics there were a few things that I’d eventually change for ease of drawing. Doing the comics and pinups of her over the years has helped smooth out the design a bit.
