[StP] Ritona, casual clothing, process one (Patreon)

We heard you loud and clear. I'll upload the process of refining these characters in short bursts. More frequent updates of random stuff!

Here's what we have so far of Ritona (14) casual. Top 4 designs were all good but I needed Ritona to look more like a slob/bum because of the setting of the story. All the designs were too overly designed and the primness was detracting from a more gritty feel I was going for. We were gonna scrap the the whole thing and start from scratch but Hare-san came up with this idea:

"Maybe Ritona just gets all her clothes from Flora as a hand-me-down?" 

This made perfect sense because Ritona's not the type to take good care of herself ( at least in StP). We could make her look flowery -- which will probably be better for marketing -- but at the same time have an excuse that she really doesn't give a shit in the end. 

This also gives them an interesting and very human dynamic. Those of you that have read "aMora dies Sympathika" might have noticed but Flora has a pretty major inferiority complex towards Ritona. No matter how hard Flora tries, there's just something different about the blood of a Reighnvhasta when it comes to  Manakravting (or is there?). In StP they are going after the position of Royal Guardian of Selphine, but Ritona eventually stops caring because reasons, aka spoilers. This causes weird tension between the two. 

Imagine wearing clothes that were giving to you from a sibling like friend that you're slowly starting to not give a shit about. That's a pretty interesting and disturbing (aka fun) dynamic.

The bottom right is what we've settled on so far, but we have to finish the rest of the crew and put them all together side by side for final color adjustments.
