Sketch
While designing the virtual model for nyxha, I thought of personal preferences and looked up references for clothing. Personally, I like wearing jonny-collared blouse and kimono-ish sleeves. I also included how I always hang my money pouch into my final model. Other reference including inspiration from Pinterest, Live2D creators Youtube videos and illustrators on Instagram. Accessories are also based on my favourite pieces in my collection.
Fun fact: the earrings are DIY pieces using my mother's old amethyst crystals beads.

Upon executing this project, in which mainly for experimenting, I realised hoe complex in detailing and layers needed for the initial model before to be used in to animate.
In Photoshop, the mostly used brush would be the "Hard Round Pressure Size" Brush in the preset. Simultaneously, the blending brush is a personally custom brush I once made upon tinkering the brush settings.
Hair Rendering
I tend to render my hair with more void spaces and while I do tend to change my rendering style from time to time, at the point of rendering nyxha, I spent more hours than I originally thought as I kept adding and deleting layers to satisfy myself with the finished rendering. While it doesn't look like it, thee' actually a total of 24 layers in this hair layer folder, a couple only containing 1 strand of hair to be rigged in another software later.
Facial Rendering
For the facial, in which the first was rendered, I heavily referenced a youtube video on separating layers and added personal touches. While drawing, the symmetry ruler was used multiple times.
Colour Palette
Color palette for this project was inspired by a Korean Novel Cover. Tho, some colors were adjusted to best suited for my character.
Skirt Rendering
Despite being covered by another cloth on top of this pleated skirt, I still decided to render the skirt fully for the satisfaction of the overall outfit. And unlike other part of the mode which has outlines in them, the skirt, hair and shoes are excused from needing outlines. This decision was to sought of a more semi-realistic look for the model.
