Description
I am so happy to finally share this! A while back I heard down the grapevine thatΒ Yaya Han Β was planning to cosplay my original Mulan design, so I contacted her and offered to design her a costume specific to her style and skill. I was actually very starstruck when she not only responded but was totally up for collab-ing on this costume design!
As Mulan was my first ever redesign it was the simplest, so I jazzed it up with some texture, corsetry and Chinese inspired armour. Yaya is currently debuting the costume in Switzerland and I can't wait to see more of the pictures!! She is so lovely and down to earth, it was a pleasure working with her

Ironic thing is she never actually used that sword for any sort of combat in the movie proper. Last Deviant I tried to explain that too decided to block me. *Sigh*.

Your skill in concept design, texture, lighting, color, patterns, and poses are exceptional and make you stand out from the Alfonse Mucha-like artists out there. I do suggest you work on your fore-shortening and some anatomy study.

Thanks! I studied anatomy and life drawing for years in art school but I prefer to extend the limbs because I think it looks nicer, especially when it comes to fashion design/costume concept art. Look it up! There's a big difference in fashion and realism styles

I understood the difference between the two--just didn't know about your fashion background. Makes sense now. Still, I'd like more fluidity or gesture in your hands instead of stiffness. But that's a personal preference. Like you said, it's a style. And I know it's not the focus of your series...

I like this; the Chinese/fantasy combo here reminds me very strongly of Jade Empire.
