Description
a redesign and bit of an update for Toko's fashion and look.2018 Ref for comparison: fav.me/dbzu126
I'm going to actually be doing a new references for my other girls too, a new sheet for Que-Tee, Chio, and Jammy are on the way soon too.
let's talk about the reasoning behind all the design tweaks here for those curious about the changes
Normal Outfit Ref on its own: fav.me/dd9wtic
Giantsu Form Ref on its own: fav.me/dd9wtb7
Normal Outfit tweaks
- color palette focus, added in a hot pink and took out the browns,
- adjusted the shoes and top to be more directly sporty,
- thicker headband and changed to pink. most of the tweaks were for palette or theme focusing, to better direct her look toward the intended sporty vibe.
Giantsu Outfit Tweaks
- color palette focus, whites more removed as well as the greys, palette focused more and a darker blue added.
- pink used for minor accents more to spread it around
- yellow toned down a lot to better balance
- studs removed from shoulder pads smooth em out, they were being drawn super spiky or too much at times
- helmet change and googles for the kamen rider homage to clear up the detail and let her put them over her eyes
- overall focused on emphasizing the more fighting like qualities
enjoy how these tweaks worked out and looking forward to doing more sporty and kaiju fighting stuff with toko in the future : >. gotta update my icon now soon too.

I knew I had to wait till the finished sheets were done, most of the things I thought looked weird are fixed now that you had time to polish it up! (in case you're wondering, it was Toko's helmet, the colours blending in, Que-Tee's removal of her pig tails D: and other small things along with chio) All in all these were great improvements to there designs ^w^ (I also love how cute Toko looks in the first one, she's not as cute when she's angry hehe
now just to wait and see what Chio looks like (RIP cape :'3 you will be missed) haha I bet she'll look great though

understandable, and yes, those were the rough planned out changes the changes that took place when full on doing new art adjusted more too and all.
toko's helmet has been the design element that's caused the single most confusion out of all of my designs among commissioners, people kept thinking it was hair net or panties on her head etc, so yeah it got tweaked to be more transparent and clear with this in mind.
Que tee's headset cords caused a lot of posing issues and with perspectives etc and got in the way of her hair a bit, so making the feature more wireless cleared that up.
and yes, toko's cuter when she's happy, just more showing personality and how she gets grumpier when she's on the job fighting kaiju instead of chilling at home with her tinies.
the chio refs up now and more tweaks than the roughed out setup got into the mix : >

haha I saw someone write, she doesn't have panties on her head anymore X3 I never saw them that way. Yeah the cords and the cape I knew immediately it was because they would be "annoying" to draw. I thought I'd miss them more, but she looks great with or without them.
Chio though..... I'm still mixed I don't think she's my favourite anymore, but I might need to see full art of her to see her in her full glory. I'm not sure why though....... she seems too "cutesy" Which if that's what you want, then you did a great job she fits more with the others in that adorable style you have. I don't mean for that to sound like a bad thing ><

heh, true true, I didn't either , but it was becoming a more common misconception and was effecting how some were drawing them for commissions etc.
hey no worries that's understandable I totally get that, knew I'd get some of those reactions with any tweaks to ocs and all, differing preferences in all. I did want that more cutesy toy magician like vibe and all so went with that, she still has her muscles and all but yes the theming is more focused on the toy like aspect now and all.totally gotcha thanks for the feedback

Ah you were going for a more cutesy look for her, and that makes sense to focus more on the toy part as she is Que-Tee's "rival" after all. If I ever draw her again, can I still use her cape with the new outfit? Either way I'll still have the art we made of her :3

yeah, I do alternate outfits and such for my ocs all the time, that's cool with me if you want to add a cape back or so if you want to draw her.

Hey, just a question that is DEFFINETLY NOT RELATED TO THE ART I WANTED TO DRAW.
How whould Toko react if someone ran up to her, and tried to steal her size drawer?
