Zoey Beach Outfit Sketches by Izumi (Patreon)

Drawn by Izumi, these are the sketches of the beach outfit Zoey will be wearing on a planned beach trip to the Southern California coast common to all routes; I'll keep updating with more refined versions of the art as I get them.

You can spoil yourself a bit with the design document we gave Izumi if you want, but this is the first of 3 outfit reference sheets she's drawing for Zoey's outfits because they'll greatly simplify making the final sprite outfits for Myumi or TiltSHIFT.

It's inspired heavily by a blend of Arknight Ch'en's "Female Tourist C" and "Ch'en the Holungday" skins (I guess that's the right word, but the former is only a sprite and the latter is an alternative operator form?) and features a lot of moving parts/accessories that'll change, be removed, or added throughout the day, such as:

• A hoodie jacket, sort of like a windbreaker, that can be zipped up and hooded up (man, I am tired right now and don't know technical terms).
• A baseball hat with either a "PD" (Portland) or "RD" (re:Dreamer) logo on it, depending on whether or not a black marker line has been drawn changing the first letter.
• Cool aviator sunglasses in a variety of states of wear (either resting on the hat, resting on Zoey's head, on her face, in her hand, or off entirely) (GOD I fucking love cool women wearing sunglasses).
• Denim beach shorts (they're just a tad too small for Zoey's thick hips and have to be worn unbuttoned).
• A big belt with a motorcycle-style quick release strap and tacticool waterproof pouches for Zach's phone and charging pack.
• A breezy bikini top with a mesh vent.
• Low-hem, high-leg bikini bottoms.

Given the complexity of the outfit, I'm positive that clear references for the outfit and its various states was the way to go as they'll speak a thousand words more clearly to Myumi or TiltSHIFT and bridge the language barrier than my own words could.
