Description
HD VersionThis one really took forever. I seriously had no idea what I was doing for most of it. The shoulder sprawl got completely redesigned from the original lineart. I tried to make the feather part of the sleeves semi-transparent, but had no idea how to really color the rest of it. Spent way too long on the skirt too. Definitely no more frills from now on. There are 2 more girls from the lineart but considering how long Hu-er and Yuzu took I'm going to take a break and work on some VRO ideas for a while.
Background Info
Lin Yuzu (林玉竹) is one of the primary protagonists of my Wuxia story Companion of the Moonlit Blade (月刀俠侶). She's an imperial princess who was forced to flee to the world of Jiang Hu due to the political in fighting of the Imperial Court. I'm not going to go into too much detail on her because the first 4-5 chapters of the story will be done from her point of view.
Originally Guan Yunte(關雲特) was supposed to be the starting POV and Yuzu's backstory was not going to be revealed later, but after doing some initial outlining Yuzu's backstory just seemed to be a much more interesting starting off point. Since she's entering the world of Jiang Hu from an outsider perspective, it gives me a lot of room to introduce the more esoteric terms of the Wuxia. It also gives a good way of comparing the abilities of Jiang Hu exponents compared to normal fighters.

My color selection still needs work though. That dark blue looks a bit off compared to everything else...

Aww, I don't know if my advice is worth anything but perhaps, if you had used a less saturated blue, and added red tones for the shading it would unify the colours a bit. Sorry feel free to ignore if you disagree c: I still think this looks lovely.

So go for a more maroon tint? That might have worked. Thanks for your insight.

The dress design is gorgeous! <33
I love your colouring, in particular the hair and the eyes! The added transparent skin-coloured sleeves/dress parts look very nice! *____*
About the transparency - changing the sleeves' layer opacity could work~ (just a newb suggestion. xD)

I considered doing that but the background was just grey. It didnt really look right.
