Way back in 1999 Anime and Manga was taking the U.S.A. by storm and I was caught up in it too. This character's design was initially inspired by a fighting game in the foyer of my local Walmart. I don't know which game it was or how it wound up there because all the text was Japanese. But a character I played was wearing an outifit much like the one in the sketch above. At the time I mistook it for some kind of schoolgirl outfit as I wasn't yet aware of the genre's fascination with maid costumes. By the time I started the reboot I knew better and amped up the detail with more lace detailing, ruffles, and a headpiece. When I went to add color, I decided to make her more unique by making her dress pink as opposed to the blue of the original. To further distinguish her from the original I added some big round anime glasses to ramp up that mild mannered look. I'm pretty happy with it.
This was originally supposed to be just a visual sequence--the dialogue was a last minute decision, but I hope it enhances the spectacle a little.
Let me know what you think!
