Description Im pretty proud of the development this character design has gone through over the years! In fact by now Im afraid to touch her app art because I really think I hit a sweet spot ^^'

There were far more character designs for Esther, but those I left out here since they mostly recycled parts and assets and refined aspects.

Love how you used parts of all her outfit concepts in the final, feels like she has such an expansive wardrobe that she just switches things in and out ehehe. 
What I really like about the final next to the other years that you chose, are the touches of bold red here and there Her darker muted scheme overall is great, but the red really pops out so well at all the right places! 

On a side note, I still find her initial design still so very eye-catching (the one you labelled rejected) - your stylization from the start has always been so good

I had a really tough time balancing out all the different dark areas so they still read well against each other (eg upping saturation and value on the chest like a spotlight so the hands pop enough)

I still love heavy stylization so much, but ive been trying to tone it down significantly to work with the textures- its still in there, eg Esthers hips are still impossibly slender, so it evens out with the two "capes" and keeps the shoulders broader to give that tank feel.

Thank you so much! Its fun to see how I slowly figured out what I want out of her and honed in on that
