Lily Redesign Process + PSD
Added 2023-12-22 16:07:43 +0000 UTCAs I said, Lily is an older design; older than Snatch actually. However, back then she didn't really have that much going for her beyond a loud smile. Her old outfit was what it was for the sake of having an outfit. I didn't have a solid concept lol. I decided on her being a scientist who's well read on specific plot-related phenomenon to justify her fashion, but over time I didn't really build on it as I decided giving the protagonists a reliable source of vital information would've made things a little -too- easy. After that she was in limbo for a whiiiile until it was time to revitalize her.
I eventually figured it'd be more interesting to instead make her a software wizard, specifically a hacker, who lends her help to the protagonists and the so-called Knights she's currently trapped with, manipulating run-down infrastructure and managing the makeshift security system she personally constructed to ensure her and her Knight friends' safety.
She's been trapped in enemy territory for quite some time, so it was a good idea to me to give her an outfit that looked worn. Her being a Silkie lends itself well with the bushy eye-covering hair making her look like she hasn't had a haircut in years. Her coat and leggings being all worn and torn also serves to reinforce that sense of rugged age and imply the idea that she doesn't have access to new clothes since she's, y'know, not in the most freeing situation.
The design surprisingly didn't require as much brainpower ironically, for a character who didn't have a firm identity until now, in comparison to Snatch who had a concept from the start but took a bit longer to truly define.
