Redoing the old character reference sheets, here's 'may =D
In a word: BLACK! =D;; I was getting really annoyed with my black pencil on this one. See, I've finally gotten myself a new Derwent Artist black, instead of just using left over black ones from school pencil sets, and in the many years that have passed since I've owned a black Derwent, they must've changed the formula for it or something, so now it can't do proper BLACK. Derwent black used to be seriously dark, no white paper showing through at all, but this one comes up bumpy and patchy and just generally not smooth. Got better once I got onto the ceremonial gear, but still not happy. Naturally the scanner mangled it even further, but that was expected. Not happy with Derwent black anymore tho. Fleh.
Anyway, black. Yeah, that's General uniform for ya. The higher up you are, the more black you get. Third Generals have just the leather part of their top (basically the right shoulder) in black, Second Generals have the shoulder and their pants in black, First General is all~ black, because by the time you're that high people know what your weapon of choice is, so don't need to advertise that, and of course, General of the Own is all~ black with some special silver trimmings. Cos they're special.
Redesigned it oh-so-slightly, so it's in the same design as the other uniforms. Was a bit on the skimpy side around the shoulders before. Also, first time EVER that I've forgotten the extra belt thingie that keeps her scabbard from flapping around, and it's on the character design sheet. I suck. Anyway, that's still silver.
She also has a shinier cloak, with the fur of some unfortunate fluffy Kazinian animal lining the inside, ooh. That's actually been there for a while, I just haven't drawn it.
Her ceremonial robes~ remind me of Ferrari. Honestly tho, I couldn't think of anything to put on it that wouldn't be cliché. Flower of death might work, except that 'min's already got the flower of life, and she's far more suited to that than 'may is to the flower of death. An yrae might~ work, but again, cliché, and the blue would clash a bit ^^; So, she's got Ashburn embroidered there, with wingies. Could be symbolic, but really it was just a way of taking up space =3;;;
Black obviously cos she's General, and red cos she's a swordie. Which ends up giving me a black horse rearing on a red background. Now we know the real~ reason why if Nol was going to get a car, it'd be a Ferrari XD;;
Also? I want that hair clip.
