Do you have designs of Team AZRE's families?

That I do! We'll start with Adam first of course:

Since Cerise is the wilted rose to Adam's Beast, I wanted to keep a lot of Adam's own design in hers. Obviously, her pink is a softer version of Adam's true red, with the green shirt underneath being a nice complimentary colour that matches her green eyes.

I wanted to design her to have a very motherly and civilian look, so she's pretty much wrapped up with the loose "anime mom" hairstyle. Her hair is also the more pinkish-red than true red, which Adam still has, but her eyes are green rather than blue so that Adam didn't just inherit everything from her.

I also gave her cow ears, I just think they look cute! The tag on her right with the SDC is common practice in Mantle's mines, but not anywhere else in Remnant. Not every Faunus has them, and they were far more common when Cerise was a younger girl, but Faunus trapped working for the SDC are often given tags so that they can easily be tracked.

Fun fact, Alon was originally called Chairo, Japanese for Brown, before I decided to go more for a Filipino inspiration to offset how I constantly go to Japanese for characters. I also made it that the parents are mostly opposites in their colour schemes, I just think it makes them look better together while still having something in common.

Alon is the Sarangay in Phillipine mythology, so I obviously went with a water/blue design to offset with Cerise' pink theme. The blue and white together also serve the water/water foam thing while the white helps to offset parts of his limps, such as his arms and feet, from the darker blues. His bull background is shown more with the bull shaped buttons on his jacket, and with the one earring to tie him to the Sarangay specifically.

His hair texture and horns are what Adam inherited, but also the eye shape and blue eyes. Really, Adam took Cerise' colours and emblem, but he really does look a lot like his father, just lighter skinned.

For a look into how his first draft looked like, here's an edit of him from about three years ago:

Oof.

Now Ghira is still Bagheera, but I did change some of his design to better fit both his allusion and where he lives. 

I never liked his canon outfit, especially with the fur, so I got rid of that and gave him more Indian-inspired clothing. He still has the same colouring, which is what Blake also uses, and you can really see that Blake takes after Ghira a lot compared to Hajimu. He uses the flower pattern on his shirt that Hajimu uses on her bolero, just so his black shirt looks a bit more interesting than just a standard shirt. 

The shawl over his shoulder also helped to add more of his purple, since his colour comes from his surname; Belladonna. He has the yellow decoration as a complimentary colour for his purple, and to match his yellow eyes. I also gave him ears to go with his claws, just because of how Faunus genetics work with Blake having ears too.��

Also, the arm sling is something he wears constantly after he was shot by humans while still in the White Fang. Some of the scars from that wound is visible under the wide collar. 

Hajimu very much takes after Kali’s canon design, just with a few colour changes. As her name means blue-black in Japanese, the gold was swapped out for blue to match her eyes, along with the purple sash to tie her to her husband. Ghira has a blue wrist sash, but it’s on the arm that’s covered by his shawl. 

Her hair was also changed from black to silverish grey to mimic a wolf’s fur, same with her giant ears being specifically wolf ears. Since she’s Raksha in the White Fang and the okami-okuri for her personal allusion, she takes a lot of wolf imagery. 

Her eyes are now blue instead of gold, as well. Really, I just wanted to make sure both Ghira and Hajimu didn’t look the same, and that while Blake clearly takes after Ghira, she still has some of Hajimu’s features.

Xanthe is obviously where Argenta and Zanthus get their Greek inspiration and allusions from, so he really was designed with Zanthus in mind, barring differences of course. He’s noticeably lighter skinned and has green eyes rather than the slit pupils, but Zanthus does use his colouring more with the golds and reds. He’s also the Lion faunus like his kids, rather than the wild cat Faunus that Sable is. 

His scars are from the Faunus Rights Revolution that he fought in, and he is missing his left hand, which he covers with his cape. His cape isn’t what inspired Zanthus’ though, as he uses the more typical back cape like Qrow and Ruby. 

 Fun fact; her original colouring was blue because I thought it was purple, and now I know.

Also, she went through a pretty different clothes design than her original outfit, which is what’s described in her debut chapter. I designed her right at the beginning of AZRE, when my designing skills weren’t that great, so I redid her while doing these full bodies for the AZRE cast. 

Now her colour scheme reflects her actual name; Sigal, which means violet rather than Sable, the name forced on her. The purple is used with a very pale cream, almost white, and I went with Jordan inspired clothing because Jordan is where the Midians were thought to originate from with some research, and because she was always meant to be MENA like Zanthus and Argenta. 

You can obviously see where Zanthus gets his skin tone, eyes, but also his hair is meant to mimic Sable’s hairtype; a more fluffier version to Xanthe’s. Her emblem is also now visible, and honestly I just like the colouring of this outfit far more.

For comparision, her OG outfit:

Cringe. 

Similar to Sable, Argenta actually had gone through a rehaul of her design, but I did keep the colouring the same. Really, I wanted to personalise it more than the OG showed, and really feed into the heart of stone aspect that I wanted for Argenta’s design. She also has visible scars now because i like characters with scars, and I changed the bandana colour from light blue to orange for Qiu and for a pop of something contrasting. 

She also one of the few Faunus with animal ears to actually style her hair to show that she doesn’t have human ears. A lot of other Faunus actually style their hair to hide away this trait. 

This was her original outfit. Not something I hate, but very plain and lacking compared to what she wears now. 

Qiu is the last of Zanthus’ family outside of his own kids in the sequel, but he’s the adoptive son of Argenta and so is Zanthus’ nephew, and that plotpoint is actually a part of Argenta’s story and character growth. I wanted to do a red panda Faunus as well, so he was perfect for using that in his design. 

Obviously with the tail and ears, but the black stripes on his face are actually another traits of his. Since his name means Autumn, I obviously went with that theme in his look and his colour scheme, which implements some of Argenta in due to how close they are. He’s honestly one of my favourite designs despite being pretty straightforward, and it’s just so cute. 

Since Hisui is the Kashima God to Ruri’s Namazu, I wanted to keep the water theme with him, hence the wave patterns on his sleeves and kimono. He’s also where Ruri gets the catfish heritage from, though Hisui differs slightly in that his ears aren’t completely fins, which helped him avoid the whole becoming deaf part that his daughter struggles with. 

He has the scales still, and the gills are hidden away by his beard. I also styled his mustache to looks like the catfish whiskers. Besides that, he takes a very fuedal Japan daiymo look to his outfit since he is very rich, but still keeps the waves to tie back to his humble fisherman roots. 

The Kashima family really hasn’t differed from the OG drafts I had when I first created them. Everything is really the same except the added checkered Obi, and the sakura patterns on her kimono. Since she’s themed around the pearl, I used more pinks/purples/whites in her design to reflect the typical colours of the pearl.

As she’s the Maneki-Neko, she’s a calico cat and is based around money, having a more rich style clothing to match her background. The hair decorations are very common for wealthy women in Northern Mistral, but none are as extravagent as the Empress who started the whole trend. 

It’s very pretty, but a pain to draw all those little details.

Seigyoku is very much the same design as she started with, save for the addition of a few details. She has added thigh belts for her fans, her belt now has sakura patterns on them, and her emblem is now on her chest. It’s a latern to allude to the laterns that Bakenekos are attracted to in Japanese mythology.

And since her allusion is the Bakeneko, she inherited the cat traits from Shinju to follow with this choice. She obviously looks very similar to Shinju, compared to Ruri taking after Hisui, but neither of them have lilac/green hair. In universe reason? They got it from their grandmother. Out of universe reason? I designed the parents after and the blue hair clashed with their set colour palletes.

Now, Eirian has legit the biggest family out of her team, and I believe the whole cast, so her section is obviously gonna be longer. 

Very much Eirian Snr. I could’ve added more of Clementine to Eirian’s design to counter just how similar she is to Icheku, but I ended up not doing that since I wanted to reflect how close Eirian and Icheku are compared to the absence Clementine has both in life and death in Eirian’s life. 

But I did give Icheku a contrasting colour pallete and obviously visible Faunus traits. He uses white, browns and oranges against Eirian’s whites, blacks and blues. But he obviously wears more Zulu style clothing, and the silver bracelets that Eirian does. His necklace is also there from when he turned eighteen, but the necklaces are unique in that they reflect the colours of the wearer.

Specifically, their eye colour and the complimentary colour; which is why Icheku’s are purple and yellow while Eirian’s are red and green, they both have different eye colours. You also can’t see on this, but Icheku actually has rectangle pupils rather than the typical round. 

No one make fun of how similar Clementine looks to Yang. My friends do that enough. 

There wasn’t much in the notes for designing Clementine. Really all there was down were “GingerTM” and “CelticTM”, and that was what I went off on. She has Scottish and Irish influences, and her mother/sisters are more Irish, but I have her father as the Scottish one where she got her last name from. And since she has orange hair, I could use that orange as an accent and a connection to Icheku.

The rest is just different shades of blue, and white for the ivory parts in her corset. The silver bracelet is obviously Icheku’s, since marriage involves giving a part of yourself to your spouse, and vice versa. It’s why Eirian wears a yellow hair tie and Yang wears one of her bracelets. Her emblem is also the Triquetra, which is the Celtic symbol that has connections to spirituality and family.

And she has face scars because I like them. 

Another fun factTM: I can’t spell Muerinn’s name properly. Her name is actually  MUIREANN but my dyslexic ass misread it as Muerinn. She’s one of Clementine’s younger sisters that she left in Atlas when she went to Haven Academy. 

But anyway, her allusion is Anne Bonney because I wanted a pirate character for the pirate colony south of Vacuo. With both her names connecting to the sea and dark, her colour scheme is very oceanic, with the different shades of blue, white and silver. The orange is meant to be like a complimentary colour to her blue, and to connect her to Clementine, so it’s the colour of her sash and one of the pendants she wears.

Another of my favourite designs, I should draw her without the jacket sometime. 

Aisling is Muireann’s twin, so she’s Eirian’s maternal aunt. She also shares the Celtic inspiration that the rest of Clementine’s side of the family does, with the wide shaped sleeves, skirt and corset, and cape, but I added some eye imagry to tie into her allusion of Babd; who is connected to foretelling of battles and deaths.

Which is also why she has Clementine’s Triquetra as part of her emblem, and also wears orange in connection to her deceased sister, like Muireann. She’s also blind, which is why her red eyes are milky in colour compared to Muireann/Clementine/Eirian.

Last of Clementine’s shown family is Roisinn, her mother and Eirian’s maternal grandmother. She’s very much designed after the old women I see constantly in my real life, and her long skirt was great for adding the extra detail; including the roses where she got her name, her tree of life emblem, and the broken Triquetra to symbolise her broken relationship with Clementine.

She originally had black hair which the twins get, but her eyes are pink rather than red, as they all get their red eyes from their deceased father.  

You can’t see under her sweater much, but she also wears a back brace, since she has a bad back from her work in the SDC mines. 

Safou is the only living relative on Icheku’s side, and has actually been alluded to in the story, but she’s very much separated from her son and granddaughter. 

While her last name was taken by Eirian, I designed her to have the more Zulu inspired clothing like Icheku, but she has the ewe ears compared to horns that Icheku got from his father. Her ears are actually inherited by Eirian, but they’re recessive so she doesn’t show them. 

The giant scar on her right arm came from a Dust explosion, as she originally was from Vacuo but was taken to Menagerie to work in the mines set up there by Atlas. She remained in Menagerie after it’s reclaimation.

Jacob is Muireann’s lover and can be seen as Eirian’s uncle, with the two having adopted Sage, but yeah his allusion is Mary Read and they’re another pirate like Muireann. Nothing much to say about his design since I never really had a set look for him before, but I do remember really wanting him to wear  the thigh high boots so there we go. 

His name was originally Bluebelle before he fell in with the pirates, so that’s also why he has blue, plus it connects him to Muireann. 

Finally, Sage rounds it off for the families. 

He’s been repurposed from canon RWBY, since he’s now in the pirate crew ran by Muireann, so his design is slightly different. I shortened his giant white coat and added a few decorations, and I might redesign him again in the future since I’m not 100% on this look, but it’ll do for now.

Lyra's Wardrobe Part 1 by Crystal-Zen So, I've been working on this design sheet since around late last summer. Didn't have a lot of time to really finish it last year and there were many things to consider with this character. I didn't know the first step I had even wanted to really take with her other than her being a Chimera. What type of personality does she have? Will she forever be shy and withdrawn? Will she ever go on adventures again? Is she a fighter or a healer or maybe both? What would her role be...? Would she choose one class over the other or would she eventually accept herself? Would she choose both? What does her hair look like under that hood? So many questions that needed answering before I decided to fully design any of these other than her first outfit. So this of course prolonged the process, then on top of that all of the things going on in life between getting sick, family things, Doing commission, and my poor animals getting sick too.  But hey, now I finally have the outfits completed! So onto the design~

Dofus/First Season - This was my first concept when I made her. Choices of brown became a theme for her here, as like Tot and the designers even stated for Season 3 of Wakfu, I wanted to showcase colors of fall or death, yet, also symbolize down to "earth" colors. This is because Lyra had in fact died or was dying thanks to her ex. Needed to be saved by her mother and was reformed as a Chimera. She felt dirty and depressed afterward for awhile until she slowly started to heal at her heart. Also because she was now a little more 'grounded' from her previous carefree style. The red was to symbolize a bit of anger and the red/orange/yellow scarf the fire/passion still burning in her that she needed to tap into.  -- As far as the outfit went, I wanted something that looked sort of reminiscent of fall. Something to cover herself in/hide/shy away/feel closed up and comfortable..and a little tomboyish. This is the outfit she first meets Joris in and sports a red cape too at the time. Dofus/First Season Hood down - Same as above, however, I wanted to show her hair and how I imagined it under the hood. After contemplating I knew I wanted her to have some sort of braided hair to help conceal it better in her hood. Also to make it a little easier for when her hood does fall down/off, so that she could easily continue fighting if needed. (I mean, I don't know about you but my long hair tangled in my hoodie otherwise.) Formal/Fancy - Now this one took a little bit to figure out. I had to first think of what I wanted to represent with her. Was she an Ecaflip or an Eniripsa at heart? Ultimately, I knew I wanted her to use her healing powers, what little she had left to help out. So I went with Eniripsa, the next thought was would I make her hair straight, wavy or curly? As I took a look at my own hair, I knew I wanted and would have to go with the wavy/curly hair. This is because if you leave your hair in a braid too often, this will happen from experience, especially if wet hair! The outfit was easy. I wanted something that still held the cute fluff of her normal outfit, but also kept that signature red color I came to associate with her. I wanted to show her passion and love coming through and her 'opening up'. The outfit colors used from official Eniripsa characters for the dress. The little green jewels were a nod at Joris and how she was trying to show in a little way whom her feelings went to. With this design, I just really wanted her feminine features to come out, her girly side to actually show, that yes, she can be quite elegant when she wishes and the time is appropriate. I Wanted to make it in case I wanted to do any sort of ball pictures or formal things with the Sadida kingdom or otherwise. Sadida Outfit - Oh, I had way too much fun with this one. I just wanted to showcase an outfit from the Sadida Kingdom if she ever visited and went shopping with Amalia. Some sort of a girls night out thing to get her some Sadida fashion! Could be a just cause it's nice. Totally see Amalia doing her hair! Also, I thought it would be appropriate for her to have in case she happened to be there with Joris at any point and needing to be at the council or before the Sadida king. Something that would show her love for the kingdom in general and her friends.  - Either way, this one was a lot of fun to design. Again, with the colors I wanted to show a little bit more on the brighter side to indicate that her heart is indeed patching up and she's 'regrowing' as a person. Accepting herself and making lots of friends a long the way. Winter Outfit w/ Shawl - This one was a given for me. I really wanted to do something with a winter outfit for her after watching the Wakfu episodes again with them all in the cold. I figured She's really small and could possibly get cold really easily. So she just gets completely bundled up here. Lots of soft, warm, fuzzy fur, ear warmers, boots, A Shawl and gloves for extra warmth...and then the addition of an Eniripsa belt to hold healing potions and pouches.  - Noting she has kamas or ecaflip 'coins' hanging from her belt as a nod to her two precious sons. (Atcham and Kerubim).  Browns define the dead of winter and the cream/white to show purity and eniripsa colors. Nothing is holding her back anymore. Sleepwear - I wantd to do something sexy for her here. Something very lady like and to show she is infact a mature woman. She may be playful, but, she's definitely mature at heart and mind. This is only one of her outfits however.. something I see her being able to wear around the other girls form time to time as well as...something special for Joris I would say. She has a couple others that  I will draw in the future for when it's just fun time with friends or their young son. Wedding Dress -  What wardrobe would be complete without this one? At least mine anyways! For this one I studied Evangelyne's 2 Wedding Dresses, Amalia's  wedding dress and the one random lady from season 2. Ultimately I encorporated traits of Evangelyne's dress and Amalia's together. I decided to mix the fur from Amalia's and  Evangelyne and then use the mantel from both as well. Though I thought the belt would be a much better area to display this and would distract less from the dress. Placed the Eniripsa heart on it to show her first class. The cape was inspired from Evangelyne and Joris. I wanted to give a huge nod at Joris, the one she would be marrying, including in the Bonta royal fluff on the fur of it...and using the Bonta/Joris colors. Winter Outfit - This is the same as the one above. I just wanted to show the design of the outfit underneath the shawl. This outfit should reminds you of a certain Osamodas of mine, Thalia. That's because I thought it would be cute if Thalia hand made this outfit for "her adoptive mother" and it would end up looking like her own. Save for a few smaller details. Wakfu/Season 2 - I got inspired by the fact that both Amalia and Evangelyne had season 2/ova/season 3 redesigns. So I really wanted to make a Second main outfit for Lyra. By this time she's completely 100% healed and sure of herself, knows who she is and what she believes in. She's very strong now and she's both a fighter and a healer when needed to be. She's accepted herself as being a Chimera. She's fully accepted being both and Ecaflip and an Eniripsa at this point and even if others see her as strange by some chance, she doesn't care anymore. Her hood is almost always down now, proudly wearing her Eniripsa buckle and her belt containing the  spades, diamond and club of Ecaflip design...to go with her Eniripsa heart. She has fully blossomed here with a delicate nod to her husband and Bonta via her sash at her belt. She still carries her healing potions on said belt with a smaller haven satchel. In this design she will have a weapon of her own to use given to her by Atcham, Kerubim and Yugo. Artwork, Lyra, Thalia are (c) to me. Wakfu, Dofus, Joris, Yugo, Eniripsa, Ecaflip, Sadida, Osamodas, Atcham, Kerubim, Evangelyne, Amalia all belong to Ankama. Base Used - Stock Images > Model > Female > Full Body">by Nukababe
