The reference sheet for a character in my ZIF side project. He's meant to be the epitome of a pacifist route, with gentle sweeping lines and loose fabrics.
The final iteration of Fu! Heavily inspired by Tang dynasty China. He's been through many forms but he's here to stay.
He had similar but different designs in the past, with more of an emphasis on masculine clothing, but that later shifted.
He even made it to a render stage, but things were not fitting. It could be better! So I went back into it, and here we are.
Instead of the previous design's lack of texture, there's a variety of fabrics, patterns, and embroidery.
