Clothing

                               Introduction

Clothing is the main part of a character, my main clothing inspiration is Hanfu which is a traditional Chinese dress in ancient times. It is very similar to the kimono from Japan and has many cultural influences and different vtubers often wear traditional Asian clothing.

Inspiration

I've always liked watching anime and due to my own heritage of being Chinese, I was already familiar with the clothing style and aesthetic. I also found other vtubers with many different kimono outfits and I knew that personally, I wanted one that with more uniqueness and my personal touch.

Brainstorming

I went through different types of clothing and poses when trying to find the ones that could. I looked at many different references when making clothes. I decided that I did not want to make this too complicated for me so a simple top, skirt, blouse, and other accessories would work together. I also understood that I did not want the clothes to look like it was sewn onto the character, rather than just placed on.

Experimental

Throughout my processor making anything this was the first time I did it without a tutorial.  Honestly I think I did a decent job from looking at reference pictures and making what I thought looked right. I  also just alt + selected every body part I was starting it off of and extending it. Overall I am very satisfied with the work I did this week. And I should be done with her clothes by the end of this week.

Process

Reflection

There were some parts that confused me such as the skirt of how poofy it was suppose to be. The arms I just started to work on and honestly I am really satisfied with how they are beginning to form.
