#i really wish we could've seen her admin form but i get why they decided against it

HEHEHE thank youuuu :-]!!! i'd be happy to talk about the design details for Xara as well !!! Xara was really fun to design because of the fact that she doesn't really have an in-game appearance in her admin form... but that same fact also made it a Pain to design her i initially debated between giving her green or yellow skin because i've seen a lot of people do either/or , but eric stirpe responded in an ask that her skin was in fact Green and her hair Purple, so that helped give me more clarification ! her admin color palette isn't my Favorite, but i eventually narrowed it down and got it into something that i really liked :-]. i had a ton of pictures up of different mobs from the end, since i wanted her design to relate back to the End (like Romeo's with the Nether), and i wanted to pick some of the colors (and traits) from said mobs.

most notable in Xara's admin design are the dragon traits that i gave her, meant to mimic the ender dragon! i chose to keep the green on all the dragon traits to contrast the purples + pinks of her hair and armor. the green is a bit more blue than the one in the reference pictures, but that's because i also based the color off of the eye of ender :-]. speaking of the eye of ender, i tried to incorporate them into her armor wherever those green dots and lines were (and also another on her forehead). it kinda gave her armor more of a futuristic look when compared to how i drew Romeo's, but i'm not exactly complaining! i think it helps them contrast.

i decided to make her eyes the same color as endermen, because i didn't want to Only take traits from the ender dragon (though i just noticed it has the same purple eyes too, lol!!). i made her spikes the same light pink color to give a glowy look, which is something i emphasized in Romeo's design too. the armor colors and design i was a bit more hesitant on, because i found the placement on her game-model was a little bit off, but i ultimately decided on a differently colored chestplate with lines going down the torso and around the shoulders. the pink elbow pads were added because i felt like there was a whole Lot of purple space!

anyhow , with Xara's hair, i've always interpreted it as her having a messy bun in the back with hair still hanging downwards, so i went with that! she also has strands of hair in the front, so i added some curly spiraling strands. her face also has scales on it :-]. i chose wings instead of actual ears because i thought it would be fun. i wanted them to be long and stick out like the floppy ears i gave Romeo.

honestly, the human design i gave Xara isn't too different than the in-game one. however, i tried to empasize the fact that her hair has two different colors, alongside making her hair look messier than her admin form. the strands in the front are longer, and so is the back. i gave her really heavy eyebags because. well. we all know she hasn't had any rest for Years. and i added some stubble + an adam's apple because my friend headcanons her as intersex and i think it's True as hell. also women can always have a little stubble as a Treat. there's a mole on her forehead where the third eye was, and a few on her cheeks where the scales were!

overall, i tried to make her look more put-together and serious than Romeo. her eyes are flat at the top to make her look more determined and unamused, while Romeo's are the direct opposite! his are flat at the bottom to always give him a humored look. i really wanted the two designs to stand out against each other, because they're both very different people, and i feel like it worked! Xara's all colorful and regal and futuristic looking, while Romeo's more rough around the edges and all games. Xara's human design is rugged and tough, while Romeo's looks like he just got dunked in a glass of milk.

i really am happy with her even if she took longer to design than i expected, and i hope you all like her !!!!! i'm planning to pause to draw one of my MCSM ocs next, but i DO eventually plan to draw Fred too :-P!

I ... .LOVE.... WOMEN !!!!!!!! (rips off shirt to reveal another shirt that reads "I LOVE XARA MCSM")
