Gala Kiran concept (Patreon)

After being kinda forced to take the recent few days off thanks to a health-related wumbo combo knocking me out for a bit and me deciding to rest while feeling bad and actually taking the time to catch up with some gaming backlog once my migraine was gone instead of feeling extra bad over feeling bad 😅

SO to get back into drawing now that I am feeling better and since you guys voted for Kiran/ for me to do what I want (this is not the voted art ) , I've been working on this for a special project 👀💕 I won't be spilling the beans on it, you will see in time 😏

This is pretty much my base design concept for an alt for Kiran wearing a very fancy evening gown ✨Grima's next to match and I included my super messy brainstorming concept sketch on the side too to easier work on it while I was at it. I mean this is also pretty much just a fancier concept sketch overall that I wanted to keep flatcolors only but ended up adding some simple rendering to because I wanted to.

Never designed formal clothes before so this was challenging but after some thinking and experimenting I came up with a concept that I like :D most important design aspects I've been keeping in mind for this is my personal taste and aesthetic obviously, something to fit Kiran and also match Grima (since I do have a rouch idea of what I want to do for him) and then also add some references to the plegian aesthetic and Kiran's fallen alt with the gold accents not only working well to represent Askr but also Plegia👌

haven't decided yet if I'll go with the blue or purple version yet, I'll most likely make that dependant on Grima's final-ish design but I like them both alot 🥺💕

I hope you like it too, been a while since I designed a new set of alts for them c:

EDIT: added a quick little doodle with the backview of the dress ✨
