After giving it some more thought I am now a little uncertain about the nude version design for the Antiquarian. 

I decided that my general design philosophy for the nude versions going forward will generally be that I keep the clothing above the shoulders and below the mid thighs. Which in this case would mean the design on the right here.

I am a little uncertain though, since I can also see the logic in making the nude and clothed versions very different from each other. In this case the mouth would not be visible in most sprites if I go with the design on the right, but I also do think it looks nicer overall, since the clothing on her shoulders and neck makes the nude parts stand out more. Another reason I started to take issue with the design on the left is because it was too different, it wasn't really recognizable as the Antiquarian anymore.

I would be interested in seeing more perspectives on this. The line art is mostly done besides this, so you can expect the proper progress report soon.

I think I prefer with no scarf. Can't really tell why though...

Creeds

Yeah, and I really like the way you drew her mouth. She's really cute

I suppose one reason I started to take issue with the design on the left is because it was too different, it wasn't really recognizable as the Antiquarian anymore.

Yea I can understand your perspective of it not being the unique anti thing with her scarf, but I'm up for any of the ways you do xel, I was also thinking of the idea of eyeless version having scarf but I thought it would be silly.

Notenkolder

I feel like the scarf makes it feel more like the Antiquarian, so I'd prefer that. But I'm fine with either option.

PotatoPoni

Both, both is good, meme aside I don't think we could as it would use a different skeleton for the model?

Torsten Streidt

i like the version without scarf very much, it is so unique and very special because it is an exception of your other designs otf the characters, but on the other hand the version with the scarf would fit to your style of the others characters, like the highwayman or the crusader.

xelswordart

Something like this would not need a different skeleton, however I do not want to make more alternate versions. Just making the usual 16 versions is already a lot of work, this would add another 8 versions, not to mention creating a bit of a questionable precedent going forward. I mean if I make this version with this minor change, why not make all sorts of other versions with minor changes?

I like the scarf more because it still retains some elements easy identifiable as the antiquarian, though I think a good way to make them different while still showing who she is might be to not have any clothes on the mid section but include the pouches and belt on her waist and the necklace the original has while removing all of clothes. still identifiable items of the character, but actually nude

xelswordart

I kind of want to leave the chest, waist and hips as uncovered as possible for the nude version, so I don't really want to add the pouches.

One Sad Bear

I definitely think adding to your work load isn't good for you or us and it's kind of arbitrary to have quite minor changes added anyway

One Sad Bear

perhaps the back/shoulder bag she has?

xelswordart

yes, that one would be present, as you can see in the image on the right in this post

Jadesword

I'm for the scarf. It really sells that this is the antiquarian. All the little elements of clothes gives more variety between the nudes of different classes.

One Sad Bear

Ah I did not notice the bag, though now I see it I honestly think the little sleeves of her normal coat and bag are probably enough to fully convey her design if the mid section is off limits apart from adding more little bits of jewellery on her arms or perhaps her tummy like the piercing the shield breaker had

Keanan Clare

I think the one on the left is super cute! I get what you mean though, it would look super bare when compared to the rest of your characters.

Enkixx

I like the scarf version

iaipao

The scarf is nice

Lotan

I like the scarf version better. Also in general I agree with the reasoning that having some clothing on makes the naked parts stand out better.

PotatoPoni

Oh here is another idea that could possibly make things better for everyone that wants to see anti face but also wants scarf make the scarf smaller?

Levidos

I believe that the scarf makes her look much better , as clothing tends to compliment the skin if it fits well enough.

Gormagio

Prefer scarfless If only for keeping the pouty face exposed. Do appreciate that extra bit of emotion like what you gave with flag by showing eyes. But would be alright with scarf version.

Shi0

I always prefer a more clothed but still nude/exposed in most of these situations tbh

Strata

i like the left more but lacks that Antiquarian look to her. will if u do go with the left one u can draw some charms and relics on her to give it that Antiquarian look

Flameflakes

I feel that the more clothed version feels a little less coherent do to the sudden change from full nudity to fully clothed. It does however, retain the visual identity of the character, as the scarf would help with visually associating the nude version with the clothed version. Where as the fully nude version feels more coherent, as it lacks the sudden change mentioned before. However, it does loose that sense of visual identity. Which, as a result, causes it to feel far more generic as it looses alot of its visual association with not only the clothed version, but with the character itself.

JYspin

Have others have said, the scarf gives her more of an antiquarian vibe and is stylistically similar to the rest. The open face is very nice though.

Cass Griffon

Scarf good. No scarf also good. Both good. Do what right feel.

HoodieGal

I definitely like the version on the right better, but I think you could leave even more stuff on her. Comparing to the concept art redesign (since I don't have access to progress reports), I think you could still leave the necklace, the belt and the pouch(es?) hanging from the belt on her.

Oh SPY!

I say no scarf, personally. And I do agree with HoodieGal. Losing the scarf but keeping the baubles and accessories like necklaces/talismans/pouches etc. would look lovely on a nude body.

xelswordart

for the nude version I want to generally leave the chest (at least on the front), the waist and upper thighs uncovered, so I don't really want to add the belt and pouches.

Wizerl

Both look really good, but as you say scarf identifies her as antiquarian so I would leave it that way personally.

iaipao

I like the scarf
