My process on designin tzi tzi gijinka (Patreon)

I did started designing her more like with the raptor features... in her hands an feet... and have more monster like features... but... kind of got not quite like it... becuz it was more monster features than personality... so...

after seeing more carefully the tzi tzi render... i notice the eyes are like closed and had red... soo since she flashes any monster or hunter as a defensive or confuse the prey mechanism... i incorporated some elements like red glasses... that dont help the purpose of not being flashed but well like this way i could put the red eye coloring in some item... after that... her body type.. is more to the slender side... but kind of with long fingers... and well ride along with  the vibe of being more like a flashy emo ... more like the cool side... and well most of the end result is that i sketched till i like the colors and the general shape intention in the pose ... to have like a cool yet dark feel to it...

most of my character design, i tried to make them with personality first and later add the details of the body and stuff... that will make more easier the process... since u can pose the shape... but to do that... u have to kind of act or know the act of emotion or personality u want to make... but well that add ur knowledge and experience about it... some times it works ... some times may be ur interpretation of that subject feel... that may not connect with others..

this case tzi tzi... i wanted a flashy monster but wanted to do something different and the eyes give me the tired cool emo feel... sooo that why i went to that route.. u will notice i didnt sketch that much more.. since i had a clear path i wanted to go and made little adjustment along the way...

hope this insight of my process helps... and if u like it .. let me know so i can share my tips... and way of thinking while concept design and stuff...

i added the video on the attachments~ hope u enjoy and well thank you~
