Nude Version design thoughts (Patreon)
Content
After giving it some more thought I am now a little uncertain about the nude version design for the Antiquarian.
I decided that my general design philosophy for the nude versions going forward will generally be that I keep the clothing above the shoulders and below the mid thighs. Which in this case would mean the design on the right here.
I am a little uncertain though, since I can also see the logic in making the nude and clothed versions very different from each other. In this case the mouth would not be visible in most sprites if I go with the design on the right, but I also do think it looks nicer overall, since the clothing on her shoulders and neck makes the nude parts stand out more. Another reason I started to take issue with the design on the left is because it was too different, it wasn't really recognizable as the Antiquarian anymore.
I would be interested in seeing more perspectives on this. The line art is mostly done besides this, so you can expect the proper progress report soon.
